(10,035 posts)I spent the last 38 years playing music, went to school for it, worked in the industry for about 35 years still do, 5 days a week I hear people playing,taught music, had some of the best teachers there are and that solo effing rocked. It really starts at 5:06 and the video below the first one misses a lot of the beginning which is some of the best playing on that solo. His use of bends is perfect, he pre-bends and swallows notes to make it sound like a slide guitar. I cant remember the last time I heard a solo and thought, yup, that's a 9.7 let alone anything past a 8. Ive listened to him before but I must have missed the good stuff somehow. I've got one for you, he even mentions Guthrie as a inspiration and you can hear it with his work to make it sound like a slide guitar.
5 min is when it gets really good but give the whole thing a watch if you can, the keyboardist goes awesome at about 4min.
