    Default Great guitar solos in unexpected places!!

    Just thought I'd start a thread about solos that you love in music that you normally wouldn't expect to find cool guitar solos.

    Here's a couple of my favorites..

    Elton John - I'm still standing...



    Duran Duran - Ordinary World

    Main Guitars: Fender US Deluxe HSS Strat, PRS SE C24, Fender Baja Tele
    Bass Guitar: Squier VM Jaguar Special
    Main Amp: Vox AC15
    Main Effects: Digitech EXP-7, Line6 M5, Soul Food, Sub n UP, Flashback, Polara Verb

    Don Johnson's "Heartbeat" with a cool 80's solo by Dweezil Zappa.

    My God, I'd forgotten Don Johnson had a recording career - great 80's memories.
