I love that song. It was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar as a teenager. The “Ventures” did an acceptable cover of the song, but it just didn’t have that bluesy feel that Doggett had.

Doggett also had a song called “Hold It”, which of the several bands I’ve had over the years, we always used for a theme/break song.

The funny part is, Bill Doggett played the organ, not the guitar. I don’t remember his guitar players name anymore, but I think he had several over time.

Sorry, gang, but these are rather unremarkable solos. (somebody had to say it).

Because this subject is completely a matter of taste, I won’t specifically disagree and I won’t entertain an argument with anyone who disagrees with me but, I would put the solo in Pink Floyd’s Dogs of War at the top of the Sax list.

Great find! This song still gets some airplay on the oldies stations. Just one of those tomeless classics.

Another good one from back then circa 1957 was 7-11 by the Gone All Stars.

Nice vintage guitar work, but I have some other favorite solos...

Time - Pink Floyd
Arpeggios from Hell - Ingwie Malmsteem
For Jazz and fingerstyle, my favorite guitarist is:
Steven King - King of Guitar
For classical, it must be:
Paganini's 24th Caprice - Li Jie
No mention of Paganini would be complete without 16 year old Jason Becker's heavy metal version of:
Paganini's 5th Caprice - Jason Becker
Of course, there is the fashion-impaired Ewan Dobson:
Paganini's 5th Caprice - Ewan Dobson

I don’t know, Claptons second solo on the Wheels of Fire version of Crossroads is pretty amazing.
