Everybody has some favorite solo's that stand out in their memory, I'm not talking about the 5 greatest solo's of all time, or guitar instrumentals, but solo's in the context of a song. Here's 5 that I like,
Alright Now- Free- Paul Kosoff, great vibrato&fat tone
Like a Rock- Bob Seger- Rick Vito, great slide and it just fits the song
Highway 40 Blues-Ricky Skaggs-Ray Flacke, inventive country licks from a good ole boy from England
Midnight at the Oasis-Maria Muldaur-Amos Garrett, never heard anything like it before or since
Sultans of Swing-Mark Knopfler, gee I thought rock was about 10,000 notes and cranked Marshalls,


Alright let's hear your 5!
