GtrPlyr Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 bron-yr-aur and black mountain side from ZeppelinNice choices. There was a time I could play bron-yr-aur on guitar. It's been so long now that I can't even remember what tuning it was in . Some great ones mentioned already. I'll add a few: The Allman Brothers - JessicaFunkadelic - Maggot BrainJames Brown - Funky DrummerSantana - Samba Pa Ti There's a bunch by Jeff Beck but I consider him more of an instrumental artist than not.
