That helped. More Buckethead required. I need that phone call.
Saw some early-downloading (2000? +/-) '100 greatest guitar solos' list. Think they had Page from Stairway to Heaven as the #1, if rings bells. Found some cool shit I was unawares of, I think (e.g. Eddie Hazel's work in Funkadelic's Maggot Brain, and what's another good example?...point made...). Pink Floyd they had Gilmour in Time at maybe 9, or some shit, and had Comfortably Numb at #4. Two solos in CNumb but they must be referring the closer, which is stellar but has a fade-out negating a proper summation and, hence, perfection. David Gilmour in Time has a solo that engages forcefully, takes me where I need to go, and doesn't sugarcoat it as he leaves me to the mercy of the songs conclusion.
Still my favorite guitar solo, if a gun were pointed, you know.
