Gen X’s Dancing With Myself.

Yeah, but he wouldn’t be anywhere near as good if he wasn’t taking AAS. I wish it were possible to play the guitar like that naturally.

Yes, you ARE that bad with AAS.

I swear when I saw the title of this thread I was thinking of this song.

I don’t know if it’s the best but it is up there.

Very interesting indeed, Push. I don’t listen to country so I wouldn’t know about Gill, but for Knopfler to offer him a job speaks volumes of Gill.

VG is in my very top group of the most underrated/unknown (ie folks don’t know he plays as well as sings) guitarists ever.

I haven’t been able to get much work done thinking about which riff is the best. These types of music questions keep me up at night.

… to be cont’d

Ted Nugent - Stranglehold

That is a tough one considering various scale modes and song formats.

I would have to go with Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Or most songs by the Allman Brothers.

I think we were talking riff & not solo…unless I’m mistaken on what was meant
