Thanks for mentioning Winter's "Still Alive and Well" and Santana's "Borboletta" - two albums which seem to have been forgotten. As for Jeff Beck's album, all serious guitar students recognize the riff from "Scatterbrain" as a finger exercise and to hear him manage it so effortlessly was jaw-dropping. "Bridge of Sighs" always brings up happy memories involving an off-campus apartment and a few friends. Thanks for the list, I could hear all of these solos in my head which, I suppose, proves their timelessness.

Your post is really cool, thanks
Adrian Belew's solo in "Big Electric Cat" completely rearranged my brain.
Hi Jas
