OT: Song Thread - Guitars

[meyers7]

Les Paul's birthday is tomorrow (6/9), so why not a thread about guitars??? So songs by Iconic guitar players, iconic guitar solos, iconic guitar rifs. Should give you plenty of stuff to work with.

Famous rif on a Les Paul (with a duck walk solo)


Johnny Be Good - Chuck Berry

A very rich topic. I'll pick an easy one. 7 minutes! Always easy to listen to.

"Eruption" on THE FrankenStrat (Gibson-Les Paul pickup shoehorned into a Fender body.).

 

[CL82]

First 60 seconds.

Because of copyright infringement this is hard to get on youtube, but worth it, I think.

From a man I saw at least 3 times backs in the day.

One of my favorites. Clapton with the guitar solo here and, at the behest of George Harrison, he played the lead guitar on the original release of this song.

I'll see your Eric Clapton and raise you one Prince Rogers Nelson

 

[Husky25]

This one is on the 5150 guitar, not a FrankenStrat, but do I get extra points because it was recorded at the New "Halen" Coliseum in New "Halen," Connecticut (My first rock concert ever was on this tour. My father, brother and I went to the show at the Worcester Centrum. I was 9)? Multiple guitar instrumentals. "311" is played first, "Cathedral" is in there, and I think I heard some "Spanish Fly," but he always comes back to "Eruption."

Too bad Van Halen has become a cover band of their former selves (Though I hear it's still a pretty decent show.).

Speaking of Johnny Cash...

Gillian is no slouch but David is a wizard on the guitar. Gotta see this duo live, they are wonderful.




Had to make sure to highlight some acoustic guitar. Pretty much any bluegrass picker can shred on the strings.

This has to be one of the most recognizable riffs of all time.
