I'm talking just outright wailing crying


My first submission is Gary Moore's "Still Got the Blues" live from London 1992



Solo begins around 3:45. The pickup change at 4:21 is immaculate.


What's your favorite?

"The Sky is Crying" always comes to mind.

Damn, that's what my mind went to immediately!

I would maybe add Zep - Since I've Been Loving You

SRV doing "Little Wing" is about as close to making a guitar sing/wail as I can imagine.

Long at 19 minutes, but Jerry makes his guitar sonically weep and die on this version.

Jeff Beck "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" (is it even blues?)

"Can't Get You Off Of My Mind" by Lenny Kravitz or "When The Children Cry" by White Lion. Neither are long or complicated solos, but they have some nice bends and notes with feel in there. Another good one IMO is the solo to "I Remember You" by Skid Row, specifically the artificial harmonics in it.

Howlin Wolf. Goin’ Down Slow.

More the song lyrics, piano, but there is a strong presence of weeping “delta blues”guitar.

“PLEASE write my mother, TELL her the shape in…..OHHH write my mother, tell her the shape I’m in……Tell her to pray for me…. and forgive me for my sins”

You can HEAR the hurt in that verse. He really pours it out. That one gets hits me every time.
