Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Joe Walsh and Don Felder doing the Acoustic version of "Hotel California" on Hell Freezes Over....it gives me chills everytime I watch/hear it...
my 2 cents: Don Felder will always be an "Eagle" in my book...but since he has more class/talent in his little finger than Don Henley has in both hands...he's better off...ymmv
Joe Walsh is one of the best... |

Location: So. Cal. | "Once upon a December" from the Disney cartoon - Anastasia... it has some interesting twists and turns; whether it sounds great or not is definitely personal; yet as a beginner level guitar student, I find it most interesting to listen and play... |

Go listen to a bunch of good bluegrass and country and there will be too many good acoustic solos to mention. Stuff by Brian Sutton, Tony Rice, Brad Davis and on and on............. |

Location: Chicago | How can you have a lead solo in an instrumental song? In jazz (& other instrumental styles) some parts are arranged (head), others improvised (solo). Hence "Kenny Burrell\'s solo" "I Never Knew" or John Mcglaughlin's "solo" (at 1:25) in Thousand Island Park . |
