My mistake must have been adding  my solo to this thread after Reverend Billy Gibbons ?

That's nice - better than a lot of the "pro" ones posted here.

I was wondering about this over the weekend: how much is down to liking the song, how much the sound of the guitar and how much the actual "tune" of the solo?  There are songs I really like (and bands/guitarists playing said song) but the solo in the song sucks golf-balls through a 50' hose (Alex Lifeson springs to mind - I'm a big Rush fan, but think pretty much all of his solos are awful); there are bands whose guitar sounds like it's being played on a sub-£50 Argos* guitar+amp bundle, which totally spoil what might otherwise be a good solo; and there are solos which aren't necessarily "amazing", but the guitar sound is gorgeous so the solo is lovely to listen to.

* Apologies to those not in the UK for the cultural reference.

Nope!  Heck, with all due respect to the Reverend, I preferred your solo Kenny!

No, the only mistake was a missing "h" in the word "Rhythm" in your title! ?

Paul would be a kick to hang out with!

Just noticed the magnetic slide holder!  I was like "Hey!  Where'd it go???" and had go back and see what he did with the slide.  Great idea!

Ok, I think we have a winner.  That one scrambled my brain!

There's been a few on here that make me shake my head, but I can at least kind of guess the concept.  Not so much here!  Dayamn! ?

With all those hammer-ons, maybe the bass player should have been playing a Chapman stick to match!

Of interest, Stanley Jordan was playing on the streets of NY when I believe it was Al Di Meola walking by and signed him up/or encouraged him to record his music.

Found this featuring my buddy Walter!  Interesting line-up too.  I wondered if I would still see him playing after Jimmy (the bass player) died and he had his own health issues.  Guess I shouldn't have been too worried, eh? ?

I can't believe I forgot about Stanley Jordan. After seeing this, I sat with my wife and we watched about an hours worth of his videos. Phenomenal musician. His creativity is exceptional.
