I know what you mean but "Noodling" is a term I hear people use who don't understand the vocabulary. Most people who don't like Jazz just hear a lot of "Noodling" going on.

Also "Once Upon a Time in the West" - once it finally gets moving anyways.

I like how he throws little "asides" into the songs, "Say what", etc.. - I like to do this in my own band just to make the singer laugh. Thank you Leroy - RIP

Nobody's Fault is pretty great too, but otherwise….

Speaking of Creed(ence), John Fogerty could lay down a mean solo, Born on a Bayou?!

As a side-point, I think Moulding's bass playing is way underrated - one of the most innovative bass players out there.

A Farewell to Kings is my favorite, like molten lead.

Happy Birthday to your Asshole!

The solo from Cruising for Burgers off of Make a Jazz Noise here is a surprisingly good "later" solo for Zappa.

Jalopy on Fire was fine until the Bro's started playing it all the time.

My favorite Angus solo is in Hells Bells - aggressive as Hell itself.

Gilmour gets that sound playing on the edge of feedback. Incredible song.

They don't have to be sloppy - Billy Zoom from X has some skills.

Highway Star. I can never decide if I love the studio or live version from Made in Japan more. Blackmore's rhythm is even great in that song (the thrashing chords in the opening…)

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) - has a great Mick Taylor solo.

Yeah Zappa - so many good ones but Zappa himself felt he didn't play good solos in the studio, thats why he would graft live ones onto studio recordings to get the "feel". Steve Vai said Zappa could "play a solo for 10 minutes and still have something to say" where most guitarists run out of ideas fairly quickly. I

Is it wrong that I prefer to listen to Trower over Hendrix?

Though I think I like Tipton's playing more overall - I love KK Downings work on Sinner from the Unleashed in the East album.

Yes - he actually makes the guitar sob…

That solo is played without an amp (guitar plugged directly into the board) which gives the guitar a unique sound.
