Guitar solos that annoyingly fade out

[johnny on the spot]

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. But then again, if you're doing things right your brain should have faded out long before the guitar.

Good call, also Juhn Frusciante - Before The Beginning is a good one, which is influenced by Funkadelic.

much prefer the Fleetwood Mac version

I mean the GM version proves the need for the FM version to be longer.
Same guitar, don't you know?

Something like this you mean (the actual song starts at about 3mins in)

Thank you for that, that was lovely.
The guitar is now apparently in the hands of a collector in Texas. Locked away and silent, shameful. I was lucky enough to see GM play it in the Albert Hall one night, and it really is that good, in his hands anyway. He sold it shortly before his death, reputedly for as much as 5 million, but these are just rumours, sorry.
Oh, 'rumours' - I really didn't mean that.

Don't know, but he traded it with Moore so I suppose he didn't have any claim on it anymore.
This is the man who became disgusted with materialism and money and held a gun to his agent's head demanding that he take back the royalties he was trying to pay him.

Some info on the guitar here:

Further googling tells me that it was sold in 2006 to a London collector for $2m. But this vid tells a third story...

Trevor Rabin pre Yes years - heard you cry wolf - by the end of the track it is all out then fades out for no good reason. Simon Philips on drums. Play it loud. A hidden gem.

I remember seeing Pete Townshend telling Simon Phillips off for getting over excited when he was drumming for The Who. I think it was the first UK gig of the tour.

Rabin did some very good solo work before his stint with Yes; talented boy and a bloody good guitarist: had no trouble recreating steve Howe's work live.
