Guitar solos of the moment

I haven't blogged in a while but here's a twist on my tunes of the moment, those are my current guitar solos favourites even though they've been released for a few decades. The discovered hidden gems are:

Santana - Europa
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lenny
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pipeline
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Life by the Drop

One key difference between the sound of those two artists is the type of guitar. Santana uses a Gibson with two humbucker pickups whereas SRV uses his usual Fender Stratocaster which usually consists three single coil pickups. You should be able to notice the darker sound of the humbucker versus the distinct sound of the single coils.
