Then what would be Don’s most underrated solos of his own solos? I have my pick already in mind.  |

Showing my age - for me the first 3 BOC albums were must have and heavily in rotation on the turntable as I tried to expand my chops. The outro solo from Dominance (Submission) remains one of my favorites.

Amazing talent. Grew up listening to him, and now I know him. Should've been number one on this list IMO.

Please don't think I'm trying to take anything away from this thread. Knowing Donr, I'm sure he will appreciate this addition to the list. My vote for most underrated guitar solos. Jack Daniels is a forgotten Nashville guitarist but the man had as excellent timing and feel as anyone I've ever heard. This solo gave me chills the first time I heard it and every time since. Jack lived up to his name. Struggled with addiction most of his life. But lawd, what a guitar man.

Now that I've set the benchmark for this thread (and I am getting a kick out of the attention ) here's a solo I've always admired. David Spinozza and Dr. John's "Right Place Wrong Time." Here's the story behind the solo, it's great. www.guitarworld.com/features/session-guitar-my-interview-true-studio-guitar-royalty-david-spinozzaHow about Dr. John? "Right Place at the Wrong Time" ... I was at the right place at the right time! I was at Atlantic working on a record with Roberta Flack or Aretha Franklin and Arif Mardin producing. I was leaving the session, a 10 to 1 to get to a jingle session, a 2 to 3, which is how we looked at them. Jingle sessions were only an hour. So I was at the elevator and Dr. John sees me in the hall and yells out, "Hey, Spinozza! I need ya to play a little blues for me!" They were mixing the record and they forgot to put a solo on the song! So I explain I'm on my way to a jingle date and I only have 45 minutes to get there. So I went in and they had a little Fender amp mic'd right in the control room with them. So they go to the middle of the track where they want the guitar solo and I just play what I play. Then I go, "I know what you want. Let me try another one." They say, "You're done." And I'm like, "No! The guitar is out of tune." I over-bent a note that drives me crazy to this day. I was just bending my G string and then I was gonna tune up and do a take! They loved it. They threw me out of the studio. I remember leaving feeling very dejected because I could have played much better. Cut to three months later. I'm in a cab on my way to a session and I never heard the song. Never heard the vocals. So this song comes on the radio and the cabby must realize I'm a guitarist because I have three guitars. So he turns to me and says, "Oh, you're a guitar player, this is my favorite! You're gonna love this!" And it comes to the solo and he turns it up, and I hear that it's me! So, knee-jerk reaction, I go, "That's me!" And he turns the solo down and says, "Yeah, right, buddy." So I never even heard it in the taxi. A New York moment! |

I just looked it up and turns out my uncle had a cut on one of their records. |
