Going Modal
I should be practicing right now.
I heard Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" this morning and I remembered just how freaking blisteringly-hot the guitar solo is in that song (guitarist: Hugh Burns)--iconic saxophone melody notwithstanding, of course.
What other songs strike you has not being particularly rockin' but have insanely hot solos? I'd offer the following off the top of my head:
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty (Hugh Burns)
One of These Nights - Eagles (Don Felder)
Ride Like the Wind - Christopher Cross
PS. I just realized--are they all "yacht rock?" Hmm...
