Is there anyone outhere who is able to play Jeff Berlin's solo on the song Manos de piedra?
On this song he shows incredible stamina, unbelievable.

I can't even touch it. That Jeff, he can just rip ridiculously tough solos out without even breaking a sweat!

A reference to a boxer, something of which Jeff was fond of doing in the 80's!

One of the most breathtaking solos I've ever heard....I have learned some Berlin stuff...but I just can't do this!!!!

I don't know how many people know this song (and solo) but I think it is a must hear for every bassplayer who has interest in playing intricate solo's over changes.

Some say that the solo in "Havona" (Jaco) is one the harmonically best solo's ever written. Maybe it's more beautifull then Berlin's solo in Manos de Piedra but the intensity of Berlin's solo is all over the place and that is the thing that keeps me going back to this solo over and over again.

If Jeff reads this, please, record the solo of manos de piedra on film and put it on youtube. We all want to know how you played it!!!!
