yes yes yes...earlier i said that i thought Paige played a guitar solo with a violin bow on Whole Lotta Love, but i think it was on Dazed and Confused.
it's one or the other.
guitar solo= the solo in "Feels So Good"-Chuck Mangione
guitar riff= opening riff in "Keep On Rockin In the Free World" - Neil Young AND opening riff in "Gimme Some Lovin"-Spencer Davis Group
keyboard/synth riff= opening riff in "Superstition"- Stevie Wonder
the electric guitar replaced the sax in the 50's as the blues solo instrument...up until then the sax was the more common solo instrument... rock and roll and blues are closely related, so it's not unheard of to hear sax solo's on rock songs.
didn't led zep's Jimmy Page play a guitar solo with a violin bow on one of their songs? Whole Lotta Love or something?
the beatles had a sitar on Norweigan Wood.
and a clarinet/oboe on When I'm 64.
harmonica solos aren't that unusual.
The Who had that twangy thing on Join Together.
it's not a very good song, really.
lot's of others have done a whole lot better with the 'we don't need no education' type song.
including the floyd, men at work -"Be Good Johnny"...
The Logic Song is where S.T. got it right on that whole theme.
