My favorite solo (this week anyway) is Tal Wikenfield's solo on 'Cause We've Ended as Lovers' played with Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's.

The whole cd is stellar. Absolutely fantastic! Tal is superb.


However, I like solos that really are put into the song - for instance that one here YouTube - ‪Stephan Eicher - hemmige‬‏
Too bad we don't see the bass player play the solo. Awesome song however.

This.

YouTube - ‪Spastic Ink-Words for Nerds‬‏

Skip to 1:38 if youre not into the whole technical progressive metal thing ... personally I cant stand most of the song, as the transitions are terrible and the drummer over syncopates everything :scowl: Aside from the drums during the bass solo I believe its quite beautiful. I was surprised to find out that it is actually Michael Manring playing that solo, even though he doesnt play the rest of the song.

I try to avoid using phrases like "the Best" because I now feel that the "best" is being played tonite in Atlanta or Chicago buy a young musician earning 75. bucks and a small meal. So heres something I did this week while going through some 33 1/3 LP's. the Vanilla Fudge first LP second side the "Break Song" this cut has all the boys taking a lengthly "ride" and Tim Bogart is out there riding all over the place hahahaha!!! I remember first hearing this LP and thinking what the hell are these guys smokin, plus their talents were pretty obvious once you got passed the outrageous intros and their unique sounds. 'A few weeks from hearing them I wound up on the same billings with them on a New England circuit of show clubs. Great guys, very talented and they enjoyed performance as well as musicianship. Bogart has a very good sence of rhythm and his style is very unique, I believe hes teaching on the West Coast (Calif.) and I've heard the band does go out with short tours. I hope its the original line up and would be interested in hearing how they sound and if their approach to playing has changed. Doc

For me it has to be any version of By-Tor and the Snowdog by Rush from the late 70s. Any bootleg version has Geddy ripping it. Some really inventive and crazy rhythmic phrasing. A masterclass in 'on the fly' soloing!!!
