Ripping solo that starts with "Can I play?"

[dotpc]

Trying to find a track with a ripping solo where the guitarist says "Can I play?". I think it was something bluesy but I honestly cannot remember, hoping someone here remembers it!

 

[blowtorch]

was it

?

if not, I"m thinking I might maybe remember a Buddy Guy tune that might fit the bill

Great example but that's not the one I am thinking of. Buddy Guy may be the one!

Well, Stevie Wonder says it (or exactly, "can I play it") before he takes a ripping harmonica solo on Boogie on Reggae Woman)

First thing I thought of, too.
Oh yeah, the man can play!
And sing.
And write.
And produce.

Prince - Can I Play With U?
Iron Maiden also had Can I Play with Madness.
Not Blues though.

Oh! I think Stevie Wonder is who I am thinking of! Thank you.

Before the solo in Play That Funky Music, he says, gonna play some electro pop.

I seem to recall Buddy Guy saying that in one of the jams on EC's Crossroads Festival dvds....

Wow. Just wow.

I may have multiple songs I am thinking of. The memory still sounds like a guitar.

 

[Dave Hicks]

He starts by asking, "Could I play for a moment?" Permission is granted.

Prince did it all the time (1:30 in the clip below) and it was awesome every time he did it!

No, that is NOT what he says!

That sounds like something BB King would have said at live shows to get a crowd response.
