Greatest Stringed Instrument Ever Solo done any time, any type of Music. (Vanity)
Any place You want to. ^ | 05/28/2023 | Mabarker1

Posted on 05/28/2023 3:13:13 AM PDT by mabarker1

I'm going to pick 4 for starters that are in different decades but for the time frame were the best in My opinion/era/Genre. I don't care what type of music but this Thread is (hopefully) going to be about Stringed Instrument Solo, meaning only 1 person on the Instrument.

1) Eddie Van Halen born Edward Lodewijk Van Halen Van Halen Eruption (Live)
Trivia note: Eddie made his Guitars one of these was named Frankenstrat

2) James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix) National Anthem U.S.A (Woodstock 1969) I know this one may offend/upset some FReepers due to the song being played and if so I apologize.

Many including Myself aren't aware that Jimmie was in the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles".

3) Aleksandar Živojinović, known professionally as Alex Lifeson* La Villa Strangiato

4) Stephen Ray Vaughan aka Stevie Ray Vaughn Voodoo Child ~ Live From Austin, TX

BTW- 3 of the 4 of My picks are playing for God in Heaven, very impressive Roster being assembled...

*Still with Us.

Ok, I’ll take you up on it.

Completely disagree with your no. 1. That’s just a showboating piece of work.

I’d replace it with “Ice Cream Man” from the same album, if you’re insisting on Van Halen.

But a better choice would be Hendrix, Hear my train a comin’ from Woodstock - an absolutely brilliant piece of work.

I’d put Brian May (Queen) at no. 2 with Liar from their 1st album.

No. 3 would be Doc Watson - Tennessee stud.

No. 4 would be Rory Gallagher - Going to my hometown.

And the original Voodoo Chile from Hendrix - Live at Berkeley beats all other versions.

One other player whose skills demand a mention is Danny Gatton. No particular song. Any of them. He used to be called ‘The Humbler’ for good reason.

‘Pod.

Eric Johnson- Cliffs of Dover
Joe Satriani-Satch Boogie
Yngwie J. Malmsteen-Far Beyond the Sun.
Any of those in no particular order.

Jimi also hated Communists, his Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock was not an anti-war protest as Leftists always say it was.
