Facemelting guitar solos

[NukeLaloosh]

MTP Jeff's recent post with the crunchy Prince guitar solo got me thinkin'

Let's try to post some real face melting youtube videos of guitar solos ... I'm ALWAYS interested in seeing these ... doesn't have to be the fastest most dexterous solo, many solos that are deliberate and meaningful are way better anyway.

1) We'll start with the greatest guitar player of all time
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cK7q2RI2zzg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cK7q2RI2zzg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

2) Move on to one of the greatest guitar players that nobody really knows (let the video load all the way, skip to 4:12 seconds ... just trust me ... seriously)
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c2rQ3_kSXoU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c2rQ3_kSXoU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

3) The slightly overrated, yet unbelievably tasty Slowhand

4) The under appreciated Eric Johnson (x2) ((Pay no attention to the hair in either one))
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2Sh1P0earDU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2Sh1P0earDU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Here's a pretty rad Steve Vai (and his band who also shred) song called I'm The Hell Outta Here from Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival a few years back ... at one point they all play each others guitars ... the bass player Billy Sheehan is also sick as hell.

Some nice playing from Glen Campbell, starting about 2 minutes in.

Haven't figured out how to actually make the video appear on the post like that.
