With most rock, you get one 'solo' per song..with Bluegrass, you get one after each verse! :) (If you want to skip to Dan's short guitar work on this song, it starts around 4:45 or so). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7BXKDfp03c Title: Re: Top 100 Guitarists Post by: Rev.

This might be interesting to any guitar players out there; he plays "Whiskey Before Breakfast" and then explains a little bit about his technique. Edit: I didn't notice embedding was disabled. Here's the direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYau7QfiiuM His "Live at McCabe's" is considered one of the great acoustic guitar albums. His version of "Nine Pound Hammer" smokes. Here's an excerpt from the 30 second mark: "Nine Pound Hammer (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=50:kvfuxc9gldke~T)" (unfortunately only a little soloing in the clip).

Surprisingly hard to find good clips of Fripp on youtube. He never seems to play alone. Here he is with the later King Crimson. Adrian Belew also appears here, a fine guitarist, but not top 100. (Fripp is the one with the glasses). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rMPBLUnooE Title: Re: Top 100 Guitarists Post by: Psycho Circus on September 24, 2008, 06:06:49 PM 67) Michael Schenker :thumbup:
