The Best Adrian Belew Guitar Solos

Adrian Belew built a guitar vocabulary of animal cries, sirens and machine noises, and it made him the go-to sonic wildcard for Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads and King Crimson. His solos treat the guitar as a sound generator as much as a melodic instrument. That approach expanded what a rock guitar solo could be.
