Is there any guitar synth track you really like?

I listened to Pat Metheny's 'Are you going with me' again yesterday. I think that it's a beautiful instrumental, very emotional. It is played using a Roland GR-300.

I was wondering if anyone else has found any guitar synth music that they really like?

This is the track if anyone is interested, guitar solo starts at about 3.40.

Kidding. This is more like it. Fripp's guitar synth solo is about 2:59




...actually not kidding about Planet Earth. Possibly the most commercially successful guitar synth riff ever?

Looks like the YT editor bug feature swapped the video for a YT jpeg picture, as it does !

That's my favourite guitar synth track too. Incredible playing and phrasing from Metheny on the solo too.

Allan Holdsworth springs to mind. 

Then, there's Summers & Fripp.

Allan Holdsworth's Distance Vs Desire



It took me a while to get over the lack of *actual* guitar on his album Sand - but this tune is just so good, it won me over in the end.

Holdsworth is probably the synth guitar master.  I can't think of anyone else who played it as well as he did.

Oh. yeah, this is another one of Metheny's best synth guitar solos - 6.30 in:

I saw them at Manchester Poly in the 80s; they toured as Discipline, before (re)adopting the King Crimson name.
