This was the last track I listened to on Spotify yesterday and I was looking on YouTube and it threw this up.
Is this the greatest guitar solo ever?

No Mark Knopfler has at least a dozen greater than this Jimmy Page solo in Stairway to Heaven is greater Eric Clapton has many better Don Felder/Joe Walsh in Hotel California is greater too |

I've played guitar for over 50 years and loved to learn licks from records of all the greats inc gilmour.
Must agree this gilmour bit is boring.its just a blues scale jam filler.and he over uses a bank of effect peddles too.
You'd be surprised what he sounds like with just a guitar and a humble practice amp

Been playing in bands since 1973 and still take lessons even now. Modern players have developed skills far in excess of what was envisioned even ten years ago. Check out Joscho Stephan or Mateus Mancuso for examples. My favourite is still Brent Mason.

Check out Joscho Stephan or Mateus Mancuso for examples. My favourite is still Brent Mason. I much prefer classical music of all kinds. This is a well known piece of guitar music which is very pleasant to listen to and must takes a lot of skill to play as well as done in this video !

He said he wanted freedom to create and express

Add to that Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Hans Zimmerman, Irving Berlin, Elvis Presley and Eric Clapton !! Elton John can read music but then again he was a classically trained pianist. Elton studied as a teenager at London’s Royal Academy of Music (RAM), which he credits for shaping his unique style of rock, funk and blues. In a recent article by The Guardian, he reveals why he didn’t end up pursuing classical music, and whether he’d still go through the training if he had his time again.
I knew I wasn’t going to be a classical pianist – my hands are too small and I wanted to be a rock’n’roll player,” Elton says.

Even more amazing are the many blind pianist's who play amazingly well !!
Lastly the famous classical composer Beethoven who composed much of his greatest music whilst being stone deaf !

I've just learnt many guitar chords and play blues lead using a simple scale like the old time bluesmen use.
Quess Stevie wonder has a gift for keyboards and can locate middle 'C' very easily since birth

Jazz players have their own method of describing what they play by quoting the intervals between notes and chords. They'll talk about a tune being in the 1-4-5 format or 2-5-1, 1-6-2-5 etc. Nobody really cares what the notes are, it's how they relate to each other that makes the tune what it is. The same numerical notation describes which notes provide the 'flavour' of each chord.
Blues players use 3 note chords in the main but then add the flat-7 of the scale to get that blues tone. Jazz players favour the major-7 to get that "cool" sound.
Classical musical notation is only of value if you want to reproduce, note for note, what somebody else has written. This is probably only used by classical orchestral musicians.
