This was just a quick slap together of me trying to overdub myself. It was what Randy Rhoads did, albeit more successfully.

Nowhere near 15 minutes, but still fun. More of a test in tone and recording techniques than skill.

Great, if you can do it, but no audience wants to sit there for a 15 minute solo. Not if you're Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson or David Gilmour.

Ravel said that played at the correct tempo, "Bolero" would be exactly 15 minutes.

I'd have to string 15 individual ones together... But they would all sound the same. :?

I usually get pretty bored during a solo. It's fun to play them, I'll admit, but every time I hear a long guitar solo it reminds me of Spinal Tap when he plays his guitar with a violin.

I love that Steve Vai has lightning fingers, but I can't sit and listen to him play for too long.

The best solos ADD to the song, not 'live for themselves'. Santana's Europa and Samba Pa Ti and the Allman Brothers' Jessica would be perfect examples in my mind.

Haha! :lol: I was thinking of you and Jeff when I posted it. I stand by what I said and won't make any judgement calls between your versions. I HAVE seen/heard Carlos play this live, and it was f*cking awesome!
