24. That's Not Lesser Known Though

Sun Apr 26, 2026, 06:15 PM

Sunday

Practically ever rock guitar fan knows about that Woodstock performance.
I'm in the camp that finds it unimpressive & way too long, I find it to be a slopfest.
But that's not my objection:
His solo on I'd Love To Change The World is WAY better. Cleaner, more accurate, more musical.
The OP was talking lesser known solos. Not sure Alvin at Woodstock qualifies.
