It’s time for the third top five of Christmas. Today, I’m doing top five songs driven by a guitar solo. So the criteria break down I’m going to use is this. The song has to driven by a guitar solo and it has to be long. For this list I’m saying longer than seven minutes, and that’s on the studio release. No live versions. I almost made it upwards of ten minutes, but I decided there were some in the seven minute range that I deserved to be on this list. Because of this a lot of great solos are getting over looked by this list, but I do still have nine list to go, so don’t fret. I’m planning on doing a best guitar solos ever recorded. Also you may have noticed I only do one band or artist per list. So even if that band has two or three really good ones I only pick their best and the other spots go to another of the same caliber. Anyway, I’ll get to the list now.
1. Cow Girl In The Sand – Neil Young
2. Maggot Brain – Funkadelic
3. Oh Sweet Nuthin’ – The Velvet Underground
4. Little Johnny Jewel (Parts 1 & 2) – Television
5. Five Long Years – Buddy Guy
That’s my list. I know, I know. There are a lot of others that could have made it. Like Voodoo Chile. The fifteen minute one off of Electric Lady Land. I even thought about using Since I’ve Been Loving You, but like I told you, I just had to tell myself. There will be other top fives.
