FZ - 'Watermelon in Easter Hay / Joe's Last Imaginary Guitar Solo' from Joe's Garage.

This has always been my favourite Zappa guitar track and it made my day when his son Dweezil played it perfectly at the Zappa Plays Zappa show I saw last month. There are several videos on You Tube of Dweezil playing this onstage and in tears.

Another Stevie Ray Vaughan number for me.
It's the last tune he recorded, and was recorded in one take.
The tape ran off the spool seconds after the last note faded away.

Yes, I was going to suggest that one - typed it up & got the link ready, but I thought I'd be hogging the thread a bit, so deleted it.
Well done that man!
For some reason the music of Django can send a shiver down my spine
Here is Stochelo playing dark eyes

Fave Jimi track. What amuses me is Jimi covers on Spotify - there are quite a few people out there who can play Jimi's stuff in a technically better manner than he could. But it just doesn't sound as good somehow.

Surprised not to see Eric Clapton on here so here's a link to 'Old Love' from the MTV Unplugged session and album…. this can bring a tear to my eye every time…. also has a great Piano solo from his session musician :)

If it's Clapton it has to be Cream's version of 'Crossroads'. The final solo in a particular is so good it defies belief:

Al Stewart's Year of The Cat has always done it for me.
Dire Straits Live in 85 Tunnel of Love. From the spoken intro with its medley of Stop in the name of Love/Don,t let me be Misunderstood right through to the end its 17 or so minutes of guitar genius. Watch it on youtube ,see what you think,I hope you will be impressed

I'm currently really enjoying this one, which you might like Dave, seeing as you enjoyed 'Maggot Brain' so much - it's quite similar, except for the electric sitar in the second half!

Guthrie Govan playing on Drive Home always sends me to another place and gives me goosebumps.
His live version differs from the studio recording, but both are good. The first time I saw it live I was disappointed as it was so different. I have learned to love them both now, but the studio version really does something to my insides, especially through headphones :)
5:00 onwards, but it really kicks in at 6:50

5:05 onwards
