Best guitar explosion of all time


My vote is for Jimi's Voodoo Chile - a Slight Return! No one has come close to his majic on that recording. I am a big Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton fan and everything they have done falls short. Not for emotional involvement, or technical virtuousity, but for the finality of the perfect guitar moment. Jimi hit it on the mark - and then some!

Many good suggestions...Eddie Van Halen and Vernon Reid for sure.
Jimi and Stevie Ray to me are among the best(I watch tape of SRV playing and it is like some Higher Power flowing through him) - personally, I prefer them to Clapton. Leslie West of Mountain. Pete Townsend with the Who...start with Live at Leeds or take your pick (Quadrophenia's "Love Reign O'er Me"). Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl, Southern Man, practically the whole Zuma album also the Freedom album. Very many things by Frank Zappa ("Orange County Lumber Truck" on Weasels Ripped my Flesh...why do think he's laughing at you after the abrupt break at the end of the cut???...cause you want more and he knows it). Roy Buchanan. Rory Gallagher.
