Heck, if you are going to include jazz interpretations, I'll throw in "Song of India" by Danny Gatton, arguably the greatest guitar player that ever lived.

yes. Yes. YESSS!

In a show of musical flexibility I'll throw out.

"Soulful Strut" by Young-Holt Unlimited

Dasmmmmm.

My votes go to either the "Ectasy of Gold" cover by Metallica

or one of the remakes of "Canon in D".

Jebus H Crispy!!!! Vinny Colaiuta and Tal Wilkenfield along with Jeff Beck?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Holy shit. Thank you so much for posting that. I am looking at all the related vids, too.

Fugazi--"Slo Crostic"

I'll jump onboard with malmo here and give a call to Danny Gatton for "greatest guitar player that ever lived". Some horrible quality video here of Danny playing in front of a dart board in a Washington bar. This is some unbelievable guitar playing.

I've got one of Danny's instructional DVD's. The guy was so good that he can't even really explain his own guitar playing.

LOL @ the Beverly Hills Cop song. That made me laugh. Hence the "LOL".

You're all wrong

Yngwie Malmsteen - Dark Star

acoustic solo then he rocks it at 3:47, masterpiece pure and simple

Agree with Walk don't Run

How is Little Wing an Instrumental????? Love the song, but Hendrix and Dominoes version are not instrumental

Just to be controversial, I will add, if you take out the one verse, Shotgun by Junior Walker really rocks.

Jessica and Elizabeth Reed both go in the top ten

Samba Pa Ti by Santana wiil knock your socks off

Try Lester Had a Coconut by String cheese

Add Grazing in the Grass by Hugh Masakela

Any Strokes song

Eruption - guitar was never the same after this track.

Can you suggest more from Metallica? I remember hearing one awhile back from them and it was awesome. I can't remember the name.
