Top 5 guitar solos ever

[jem88]

How old is the tele? I had a 1963 Telecaster that I sold for $95. What a ******* I was.

I've been playing for a while and just this year decided it was time for lessons. I can't read either. Nor do I want to learn how to. My teacher is the coolest guy on the planet. I KNEW we had a breakthrough when for one lesson, he took my book and began to write in it...then put the pen down and said, "Here's how the song goes. I'll expect that you'll know it next week." Perfect.

Sure you can run that 4 track into the computer. I have done it with old LP's and some cassette tapes.

That's good to know about the 4-track. I have so many ideas from over a 10 year span just sitting on tape.

I'm not sure hold old my tele is. I seem to remember the guy who sold it to me telling me it was a late 70's model, but I'm not sure. It really is a beauty to look at but I made the mistake of taking out one of the original pickups and putting in a humbucker, which has never sounded good on it. I think it probably needs a major rewiring job.

I'm now become more interested in music theory but I really think it was good learning by ear rather than by theory. Of course a rudimentary knowledge is important (chord names, some scales, etc.) but at a young age, it was so much more exciting to figure out a song on my own.

Oh, you've GOT to get that humbucker out of there and go back to the single coil....esp on a Telecaster...you want that Fender sound.

I agree. I used to sit and listen to records and figure out solos, one note at a time.

Back then, other than the Beatles, I was a Creedence fan...when I saw Fogerty live for the first time, it was very moving because I was watching the guy playing solos that as a kid I would spend hours learning by ear.
