    I was an understudy of Ray's. I asked him one day to play this for me. It was better than the recording watching him on solo guitar play the riffs. I love playing this tune. His phrasing is phenomenal. When I hear people call guitar players guitar gods, I laugh because they pale in comparison to Ray.

      Truth. Nobody is better than Ray.

      @@dorianpedraja5439 , I love your name, Dorian, very musical! Dorian, it is a lot of love for the instrument and a lot of work. Ray knows all modes, all scales, probably every known riff in history. He is not a trick guitarist, but a straight ahead guitarist. He can play any style. And that is all about work. Practice every day, play every day. It's not for the weekend guitarist. I wish I had the time these days to spend on my instruments these days.

    I always dug Ray Gomez...his sense of melody and phrasing are very cool, accessible, yet still "out there". If you like this tune, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush's song "Tales of the Unexpected" is in a similar vein. My iPod is stuffed with music like this. Believe me, it never gets old.

    Ray is a beast. I saw him with Stanley Clarke way back in the 70's. He's brilliant.

    Gomez did some incredible guitar on the first solo album by Patrick Moraz ; The Story of "I" (in quotes because it's not actually a letter but a symbol resembling a golf tee). Between that and Stanley Clarke's first solo album Gomez earned his place among the best guitarists.

    Great upload and nice surf. We had some pro surfers charter our boat and they rode waves that dwarf these. Cortes Bank surf [under ideal conditions] is possibly the largest anywhere. I saw waves ridden in excess of 65 feet in height.

    Ray Gomez's Solo CD Volume has a lot of great playing on it as well even though its a little hard to find. It features the original version of "West Side Boogie" that Shawn Lane use to play.

    I've been hearing this since it first came out.
    Like usual with these master pictures every time I hear it it's always magical great beautiful heaven stuff. Wow nobody speaks of Gomez as usual for Latin players.
    He also did a hit like hot for teacher rhythm on drums before Eddie for the record.

    Great guitar solo but not one of the best in my opinion, however that bass in the background is the most insane fucking thing i have ever heard done on a bass and that keyboard player definitely fucks shit up.Also that solo was pretty insane for 1975 only other guitar players that i know of around the 70s that were that good was John Mclaughlin, and Al Di Meola.

    Yeah i won't deny their greatness but as far as on a technical level those guys couldn't come close to what Ray Gomez was doing way back in the 70s. Shawn Lane is another that comes to mind....
