Thought you all might find this interesting.  The video links are mostly dead but a search will turn up newer ones on all.

1)  Zappa - When anybody else solos its an interlude.  When Zappa solos its a lesson in music theory.

2)  Carlos Montoya - Sometimes its all about structure.

3)  BB - "Its not how many notes you can play, its how you play them" BBKing

4)  Santana - Soul and style

5)  Leo Kotke - I never knew there were that many notes in a chord.

Everybody else can sit down

New to this forum but I've been playing for over 40 years.  Follow my advice and you'll be a much happier person:

1) Avoid all songs with F.  No great song was ever written with an F chord.

2) Change to another key

3) For the duration of the F chord pause playing but continue vocals.  Pick up the instrumental again after the chord change.

4)  Pause during the F chord and allow the bass to take a solo.

In 40 years I've never had to play an F and I'm proud of it.
