guitar performance pieces (1 Viewer)

howdy.

i'm looking for 2 pieces written/performed between 1945 and 1983 on guitar for my perfomance.

any style really is cool (though classic rock-ish or jazz would be best) intermediate to advanced skillz, and preferably for solo guitar (as in unaccompanied solo, not solo playing to backing track).

and it would be even better if there were easily available tabs (good ones) on the net.

so yeah, i'd really appreciate any suggestions, and thanks in advance.

Eddie Van Halen - Eruption
Davey Graham - Take Five (finger picked English folk version)
Eddie Van Halen - Cathedral (if you have the effects for it you will pwn)
Jimmy Page - Black Mountain Side/White summer

Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker
Jimmy Page does an impromptu, unaccompanied solo in this song.
Almost all of Jimi Hendrix's song would work for a unaccompanied solo, as well as JerryC's rearrangements.

So far for my extention peices i am doing: satch boogie-joe satriani
Manhattan-eric johnson
still got the blues-gary moore

Music 2

Core:The extremist-joe satriani
far beyond the sun-yngwie malmsteen

additional:Bouree-Bach

I personally think that eruption, or any unaccompaniend guitar solo is a very risky option. It is virtually impossible to recreate what EVH did and to be able to get that message across. I'd say you should probobly do something more rhythmically based, unless your lead technique is very proficent.
