Ha! That's where Jimi tells the conga player to stop playing during Mitch's solo. That's funny!
I love me some univibe. I think that song was originally called Driving South.
Jimi stated:

you can leave. we're just jammin' that's all..."

What else?

I haven't read this entire thread yet, but I have to say, the guy you linked to is just a wannabe Michael Hedges. I wish the sound was louder, but here's a decent Hedges clip:

I mentioned Hedges upthread too, but this clip is nice. I saw Hedges play at Northwestern U in 1992, I believe it was. Jawdropping.

I know this is an unpopular choice, but could you imagine being a fifteen year old guitarist hearing "Eruption" by Van Halen for the first time on the radio in the summer of 1977?

Pedestrian and even irritating nowadays, but completely fucking mind-blowing then.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Great Kat yet, or the guy from Europe (especially the solo from Superstitious). Oh, did you say not crap? Sorry.

A sculpture student here just came in from the workshop. I asked him what he was listening to whilst using the bandsaw. He showed me this Youtube clip:

Drifting - Andy Mckee

Not bad...

Oh yeah...and has anyone posted this yet?

Vaseline Machine Gun - Leo Kottke

Holy fuck!

C.C. pick up that guitar and-uh talk to me!

Imagine being able to play that cack-handed, bedroom dross in front of hundreds of adoring fans.

He could have stood there caressing his guitar strings with a copy of Playboy whilst tugging his old feller and the audience would have gone along with it, screaming all the way...

Awesome.

I'd have to go back and check for accuracy, but I have a friend who once claimed that that very CC Deville solo was nearly a direct lift of a Rick Neilson solo. Might have been 'California Man'. Can anyone confirm this?
