Especially the You-Tube segments.
Right now for me, it's a tie between
Nigel Tufnel
the Paul Stanley clip
But I'll give him my props for being the star and on-stage personality he is...dig the pick in the mouth pose...practically the whole time, and the technique (and I say this with total rock fan respect) ....right hand, finger-wagging, waving at/inciting the audience... while the left hand hits relentless hammer-ons at high volume ...) Hey, I could do that!
the Big Brother clip...although the Piece of My Heart solo is sorta sloppy and sorta out of tune, it is one of the signature solos of its time.
Like my signature, handwriting, and my guitar playing, sloppy but true.
Funny thing, is I get to occasionally jam with about a dozen of the players who populate this page...and the good news is...
most of you
can all play a tastier solo than any of these nominees!
