Amos Garrett's solo on "Midnight At The Oasis" has always been one of my favs. Let's not forget George's solo on "Something" About any Larry Carlton solo qualifies.

Had to add Barney Kessel played some amazing solos on Billie Holiday recordings from the 50's cut in LA.

Evelyn, a dog, having undergone

Pondered the significance of short-person behavior

Classic stuff!

One Size Fits All is probably my fav Zappa album. Either that or Apostrophe. Either way both albums have some pretty stellar guitar work (and ensemble work).
