    Now that so many people have reminded me of it, I love sympathy for the devil. That is one harsh tone. It squacks like no other. Must be a magically imbued tele keith was playing.

    Stairway To Heaven-Overall production & structure
    Under a glass moon-Dream Theater-The Sickest Technique In A Song
    Missing You-HSAS(Neil Schon)-Pure fire & fury in every note. Very Underrated player
    The Loner-Gary Moore- Same basic melody he used in many songs, but perfected finally. Not a bad note anywhere in this song.

    i must say that the 'Them Bones' solo is one of the most fun, structured solos, i have ever played.

    The instrumental ending of "Alive" is - hands down- the greatest coda in the history of rock music-- "Layla", of course, coming close.

    Another mind blowing modern rock giutat solo/ instrumental is the work on Radiohead's "Paranoid Android". Christ Almighty, they had to have just been emotional and drained after creating that.

    Neil Young - Cowgirl in the Sand
    the Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil, Let it Bleed (slide)
    Pearl Jam - Immortality
    The Who - Young Man's Blues or Baby don't you do it
    Hendrix - Spanish Castle Magic
    The Beatles - Yer Blues ( I like The Dirty Mac's version better with Clapton on his 335 through an early Marshall, but the whole idea of the song is great, the transitions and such)
    Skynard - Call me the Breeze


    Others I am sure.
    +1 for the DIRTY MAC, hell yeah!!!

    Have you seen the Jimi Plays Berkeley DVD? They absolutely butcher HMTAC! These fuckin "Experience Hendrix" releases suck ass hole! This song is supposed to be three times as long. They cut most of the solo out and is painfull to watch if your used to the full version.

    Not all of the Experience releases are bad, in fact a bunch of them are great. It is a really sad and pathetic story nonetheless and I wish there was a way for Leon to get some of the profits.
    Berkeley was OK, the recent re-release of all the studio albums with the real liner notes are awesome. The jimi blues CD is killer as well. They are going to milk this until its got nothing left to give.

    Yeah I forgot to specify. I meant the DVD's I've seen from Exp. Hendrix. The CDs are pretty good.

    I'm a big Neil Schon fan.
    My favorite from him is "Look Into The Future"
