Another one suggested by a commenter, this time Johnny Vector.
Robert Fripp is such an incredible guitarist. His playing is very unconventional; he does some weird and very cool things with his guitar, even, somehow, when he’s just playing a straight solo. This one, King Crimson’s The Night Watch, is a nice example…
The solo starts at 2:49 and ends at 3:39.
There’s just audio here, no video…
Enjoy!

Ooh, thanks for posting it! One of the reasons I love that solo (and the whole song, truth be told) is that it really captures the feel of the painting it describes:

Holy crap. I just learned that John Wetton passed away a week ago.

My favourite track from that album is “Fracture“.
I’m happy to see that the improv piece “Asbury Park” is back on youtube; the full version!
