Beautiful Guitar Solos 4

The last (for a while) of the Beautiful Guitar solos picks. A couple on this volume were planned from the beginning, but a couple were added as I was releasing these originally. That's what happens when you comment and leave your favorites in the comments. I had already made a Guitars comp (loud shredding guitars), a Girls and Guitars pick. And Picks that featured Sax, Bass, Drums etc. All coming at one point or another. But I still always come back to these four. Play them at night or the morning when I want something beautiful played. I hope you listen to them as you get ready for bed (sleep or otherwise). They've been god to me. BTW, did you notice that each one of these has a different guitar on the cover, even though they look similar?

Beautiful Guitar Solos 3

A continuation of the Beautiful Guitar Solos playlist pick. This third volume has a couple of tracks that were suggested by guitar playing friends, plus more Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix. I had already picked Pink Floyd, but several people seconded the tribute to Syd "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" to make that a must have track. These may not be the fastest, or loudest guitar solos, but they definitely are the most beautiful. See if you agree. There will be another volume coming, so look for that too. And if you have a favorite, whether it made this playlist or not, be sure to include it in the comments.

Beautiful Guitar Solos 2

This is part two of the Beautiful Guitar Solos playlist pick. The idea was to get the most beautiful solos, not the most rockin'. I started this thinking of three different solos. Two were in volume one: Eddie Hazel's "Maggot Brain" where George Clinton told him to imagine his mom dying right before playing. And the other in volume one was Frank Zappa "Watermelon In Easter Hay". The third is in this volume and set the tone for what I was looking for. That was Santana "Flor D'Luna (Moonflower)" So that gives you an idea of what I was trying to achieve. The people I asked were all given those parameters. And there is one track on this volume that I had forgotten about that was recommended to add to this pick. That was the track from Carl Verheyen Band. Beautiful! More Coming!

Beautiful Guitar Solos 1

This was pretty easy. I picked what I thought were some songs that had the most beautiful guitar solos of all time. I then asked friends, musicians, DJ's what their favorite Beautiful Guitar Solos were (I got a few more that I had forgotten.) And came up with this pick. Several already finished in the series and more to be added. This first volume will have to do for now. I am putting it up now, because another cool site (ButterBoy) had a compilation playlist from Paszek that reminded me of this one. That one was Beautiful Instrumentals. Quite good. Go get that one too, and keep a lookout for the other volumes in this series coming.
