Iggy Pop. Turning Blue.
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

Iggy Pop. Turning Blue.
*beo looks puzzled .. Licks his guitar experimentally*
Yuck tastes awful..
Can I say Black Night by Deep Purple.. if that's what you mean by "a Lick"? it's got a good strummy bit
Isaac Hayes. Shaft Theme.
Game over?
Absolutely anything by Satriani
Layla (Clapton)
Telegraph Road (Dire Straits) - memories of the summer I was 17, ah....
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.Originally Posted by LMC
One of these days & Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd (David Gilmore)
in My Time Of Dying - Led Zeppelin (Jimmy Page)
Stairway to Heaven.... Led Zeppelin
(not sure what a lick is, or a riff for that matter... )
Ok Storm? By the self same Richie Blackmore, vocals by Candice night.. fantastic spanish guitar type licky slobbery rifty burpy farty type whatchyamacallit ? Anoraky enough for you?Originally Posted by Barry Shnikov
I dare say you're counting Smoke on the water?
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...
The opening chords from Tie Your Mother Down - Queen
Just about all of Amazing - Aerosmith
The beginning to "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones, as played by Keith Richards.

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?
