    Stevie Taylor's guitar solo in one of his own songs "Witch Finder". It is awesome! And certainly one of my top favourites.

    Or a CD, I've heard loads of people on about him, but never heard him myself?

    You can see him live in October and he'll be playing some of his own stuff. No downloadable stuff just now as far as I'm aware.

    Friday 27th of October in the Redwood.

    Astronot and Boss Hogg will also be playing too.

    Not as yet, we are approaching the final stages of recording at the moment. We will have some sample audio downloads available soon.

    Easy. Sugar Cane Robinson playing electric violin on The Gumbo Variations, from Hot Rats by Frank Zappa.

    Not a big Zappa fan, but that violin is so wild it'll curl your eyebrows. Real virtuoso stuff.

    And some solos done purely for amusement on Fried Hockey Boogie (Canned Heat).

    Is it wrong to like the solo from this song:

    Jonny Greenwood in Radiohead's Paranoid Android.

    The range of music he can make from a guitar is just amazing. Seen them live in Edinburgh last month. Definitely an all time live music moment.

    I`m currently enjoying Buckethead and his over the neck tapping / atonal tomfoolery.... Ex Zappa all round genius Mike Keneally delivers on "Planet of the Baritone Women"...mucho respecto..

    and my all tiem fav has to be lotus feet gutiat concerto by steve vai from his new album real illusions reflections that really sends a shiver up my spine great composing performed with metrepole orkest. was amazing seeing him play it live
