    more time wasting...

    OK, we've had a lyrics thread, a movie quotes thread...

    In the car at lunchtime listening to the CD, I came up with this.

    FAVOURITE GUITAR LICKS.

    It can be short, or long, but what are your favourite tasty trills?

    Start the ball rolling with:

    Denny Dias on 'Night by night' by Steely Dan off the LP Pretzel logic
    The mighty Jimmy Page on 'What is and what should never be' by Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin II

    Mmm.

    'case it wasn't obvious, you have to name the guitarist. Otherwise the anorak quotient is just not high enough.

    OK, Deep Purple, it's Richie Blackmore. That's a freebie. Black Night is not his best work, by a long chalk.

    Layla. Now there's an interesting one. There's a lot of hoo-hah as to who was responsible for the solo - many people argue it was Duane Allman, and not Slowhand...

    "Absolutely anything by..." anybody doesn't qualify either. The object of the thread is to give an example of exquisite guitar, narrowed down to track and album. A blanket enthusiasm for a particular guitarist is just - wet.

    Is Telegraph Road on Brothers in arms? That LP sent me to sleep faster than Mogadon.

    Re: more time wasting...

    Shame on you all, for allowing this thread to die without mentioning the following:

    Mr. Hendrix - his version of the Star Spangled Banner
    Mr. Bolan - 20th Century Boy (you've gotta love that "starting up a motorbike" intro... ) - never an album track outside compilations, I think...
    Mr. Destri - Call Me - Parallel Lines
    Mr. Strummer - Should I Stay or Should I Go - White Riot


    ...amongst several others...

    Re: more time wasting...

    More candidates...

    Lovely bit of grunge from Zal Cleminson on 'Ain't nothin like a gang bang' by SAHB on - hmm, forget which LP originally, have got it on compilation CD.

    And Andy Powell and Ted Turner on 'Blind Eye', track 1, side 1, of Wishbone Ash's eponymous first LP.

    PS Any of you Scots types up there have a copy of Tear Gas' first LP?
