Default Re: those moments in music

lol - I hadnt seen your whole post as it cut off at the bottom and I immediately thought SRV Little Wing. I have chills right now thinking about when he goes into the second verse after the opening. He switches to the clean tone and plays this little riff on the 12th fret. It is very simple yet it blows my mind. I have played it a million times on my guitar and I can never capture what he did.

There is also a moment in a piece by the base player Jaco that tells me there is a god becuase a random universe could never create such beauty. He hits these notes where the strings kinda vibrate out of sync and creates this incredible sound.

Finally, Steve Vai in "Call it Sleep". One of the greatest and most original guitar pieces ever. There are about 50 moments in this song but my two biggest are where he cuts from the intro and hits the hit note with the volume cranked and the distortion on and when at the end he makes the guitar cry like a baby with that wah wah sound.
