Great non-guitar solos?
Base theme by DesignModo & ported to Powered by Vanilla by Chris Ireland, modified by the "theFB" team.

I can't find a video of it, but I remember seeing a clip on a documentary once with Rick Wakeman and Bernie Worrell (Parliament/Funkadelic, Talking Heads etc.) about the Minimoog. It went something like this:
Worrell: With the Minimoog you can treat your solos like sex, man. You can... (mimes playing the keyboard, turning knobs, makes sexy Moog noises)
Wakeman (deadpan): I tried that approach. All my solos ended up really short.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
YES. The most mournful, regretful, desperate sound I ever heard. Was listening to it last night. Truer now then ever. Cheers
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.

Dave Greenfield on "Down in the Sewer".
The harp solo on Papa Lightfoot's "Wine, Whiskey and Women".
Very flamboyant guitar style keyboard solo. Sounds like Georgio Moroda - no idea if it is. The main riff is a George Duke sample.

Rumours that astronomer Patrick Moore used to play it at the Royal Astrological Society Christmas parties have not been verified however he did influence Brian May.
