Non - Guitar Solos

[Bitzer]

Just been listening to November rain and as always I am blown away by the Slash Guitar solo. Am I over rating it or is it as great as I think it is?
Got me thinking. What are people's favourite guitar Solos? Sorry, seasons over - bored already.

Skynnard. The live version of Freebird or Hank Marvin on The Young Ones.

The absolute high point of the whole Ziggy Stardust/glam rock era.....anyone else see this live ?

 

[Toronto John]

Definitely Slash. Have seen him 7 times in the various iterations (GnR, VR, w/Myles Kennedy). The key to me is how clean it sounds - no fuzz.

Honorable mentions to Bonamassa and Tom Morello.

Best solo ever = Hi Ho Silver lining and Jeff Beck's genius contribution.

 

[NWCherries98]

Nah the best solo of all time is in Funkadelic’s “Maggot Brain” by Eddie Hazel.

 

[Runnerrunnerru]

Kind of hate guitar solos, unless it’s some rambling Neil Young job.
I like the solo on Man in the Box by Alice In Chains though

Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun
sadly only a small bit on this video

At the risk of answering my own post and muddying my own waters I've just remembered Gilmour on Time.

Francis Rossi onnQuo’s “Something going on in my head “

Skynnard. The live version of Freebird or Hank Marvin on The Young Ones.

Free bird , yes

 

[stanthevan]

I’m an absolute sucker for a guitar solo. Too many to mention but Clapton on Crossroads has to be up there.

At the risk of answering my own post and muddying my own waters I've just remembered Gilmour on Time.

Gilmour's solo on the pulse version of Comfortably numb is mind boggling....quite simply a living God.......you haven't heard a guitar solo until you hear Gilmour........................

 

[RobTrent]

Look, anything by Diamond Head off of their first 'white' album!

 

[you_reds]

Free Bird takes some beating but Comfortably Numb is just on a different level

 

[sam adams]

Dennis does it the Texas way !

 

[table]

Well I know nothing about how to play guitar or the finer points of technique but this is the benchmark for me : )

Tony Peluso on the Carpenters’ Goodbye to Love

Eddie Van Halen - Eruption

 

[corfe_red]

Always has done it for me....take a bow Ernie Isley
