Demetrio. |

You wanna talk heartbreaking solos? What about Jimi Hendrix? I still listen to Electric Ladyland to hear the part in "Moon, turn the tides, gently gently away, a merman I would be" to hear the riffs with echoing flute where he is emerging from the depths. Sure, I can play the various leads after all this time, but I've never had the sounds around me or the overdub symphony to set me up. That's heartbreaking for real. I don't take it personally, however, because no-one else has ever accomplished that either.
For a lot of 70's guitarists, learning "Reelin' in the Years" by Steely Dan was a heartbreaker. Most people liked that song, but most guitarists learned it note for note, not achieving that level of musicianship, like keyboardists and "Green-Eyed Lady". Traditional blues, with B.B. King's "Why I Have the Blues", featuring "The Thrill is Gone", has to be considered. Of course, back then, Jose Feliciano's classical guitar take on rock songs and Mason William's "Classical Gas" was sympathetic guitar vibes for most of the listening public. The bluest note I've ever seen is still being played by Picasso's "The Guitar Player". |

For me this would include:
The guitar and synth duet between Steve Hackett and Tony Banks in Genesis' Ripples Mike Oldfield: Solo at the end of Incantations Part 4 (just the before the "Ode to Cynthia" singing begins) and in fact a hell of a lot of his other stuff too.
