Amazing Guitar Performances

Fun Facts: Some of you might recognize Jeff Healey (who lost his eyesight as an infant) as the guy who played Patrick Swayze's brother in "Road House". 

Cody was Dalton's brother? Very cool. I don't recall that.

Few people know that Healey focused much of his energy on jazz/dixieland trumpeting in the last years before he passed. What a talent this guy was.

Aha. The ol’ “Can’t be”/“I don’t” parallax. 

Jeff Lynne called, too. He said, “Don’t bring me down.” (Oddly, he seemed to think your name was Groose.)

The thread could be filled with A. Lees.

Given the comments when that clip went around the first time, using George’s look as some sort of appeal to authority saying “A Beatle was blown away!” I’m entitled to my opinion. George Harrison’s hair was not blown back that day. Not by Prince at least.

You are correct.  George's hair was not blown back.  He was quite dead at the time.

Fair enough. Elvis then.

Still just a pentatonic wankfest  

Re Knopfler, and getting away from solos, I always loved this gentle, longing instrumental from the soundtrack of the movie Local Hero.

No Idea who this guy is but damn:

Amazing guitar solo at the end of this beautiful song by Richard Thompson:

That was nice, thanks. He always sounds like he’s got the freshest set of strings on.

Luka Bloom:  Delirious.  First one is video.  Second is live performance.  Both amazing.

For over 1,000 opinions on this matter, -I discovered this reddit.com thread this morning.

Quite a few of them seem to be metal selections of which I was never a fan.
