And may the last line (i.e. ""**** *o*** *n* *'m ***e") be written in full here, or it's too dirty?

The last words are probably "and I'm gone". Or given that he works with paint, he's probably saying "More Solva and I'm done".

Ugo & NS close but no cigar

You will both have too wait until the 7th of Jan to find out :cool:

@ Milamber: well, if we're mentioning Gary Moore, I think the one below is slightly better (IMHO)... not counting his old stuff, of course.

@ Milamber: guess who's playing the solo in that Macca track? David Gilmour.

Anyway, many people forget (or don't think) that Macca is a great guitarist as much as a great bassist. Here is he neck-to-neck with two other guitar monsters (and other cool people around him) during the historical 1997 Music for Montserrat show.

I saw someone had posted videos of Eddie van Halen.
I saw him once outside an icecream shop in Enschede called vanderpoel. I never actually talked to the guy, cos I didn't care really. By the way I really like his song Jump.

@ milamber: of course, as I said, Paul is great at soloing, and he proves that in the song I linked. But that dreamily bluesy solo in "Lonely Nights" is unmistakably Floydish and unmistakably Gilmourish.

Well, seeing that a solo guitar piece has been already posted here (Tommy Emmanuel), here's a Joe thing...

This is pure acoustic guitar with just a little effect on top. Satch does not only make all hell break loose on electric guitar - he also shows his sensitive side in these acoustic pieces. There's another one on Time Machine, maybe I will post it later on.

Everybody sounds sensitive on acoustic. It's when you give them extra powers with an electric one you can tell who is is really. Some play like they they practice scales, others play like David Gilmour.

@ Olivier: well, it depends on who's playing, and even the great electric guitarists aren't 100% consistent on acoustic. The acoustic playing of Gilmour himself sounds to me like it has a surprising ease to descend from sublime to scholastic, depending on the single performance. Listen to him on "High Hopes" on his latest solo tour, where he plays nylon-string:

here...

... and here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwht3dDPL_Q

I think you can easily hear that the whole of the Gdansk performance, from when he first starts picking (second verse) to the very last note, is consistent throughout, and it's soaring throughout. But the (much earlier) Royal Albert Hall performance is IMHO way more restrained, less sky-high, and comes down into pure scholasticness in the finale. I don't think it depends on the fact that the RAH show was one of the first in the tour and the Gdansk one was the last, and I don't think that it depends on the effects he used. It's simply a matter of a different amount of inspiration, of a different spirit if you want, in the two performances. Maybe he played it better at Gdansk because he knew it'd be the last time he played that song for a while...
