GREATEST GUITAR SOLO(s) (5 Viewers)

[wanton-wonton]

Riff != solo.

A riff is not a solo. A solo builds on from a riff, I think you already know.

cbfed naming songs...

led zeppelin (page)
black lablel society (zakk wylde)

slash's and jimmy page's solos are generally excellent

achilles last stand by led zep- excellent solo, i think it's better than stairway
stairway
sweet child o' mine
comfortably numb

one that not many of you would probably know is "i'd love to change to world" by ten years after - has a great solo

awesome acoustic solo in one in a million by gn'r

No? .

 

[Bookie]

Hmm well.

First and foremost i'm appalled no one has mentioned Clapton's solo from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on the white album. Not to mention the cool live versions.

.

Dude, I don't know if it's insanely famous or not, but I heard this song done with George Harrison somewhere or the other. Fucking awesome. Only heard it once though

I know, != means not equal to.

 

[ChrisE]

comfortably numb, not technically amazing but its execution and its feeling is perfection.

Much of the stuff by Yngwie malmsteen

Children of bodom - everytime i die
metallica - One
Frank zappa
The fucking champs - thor is like immortal

P.S stairway to heaven has a solo in it.

 

[king_of_boredom]

velvet revolver - slither.

the solo in that sounds impossible to execute.

 

[wanton-wonton]

I know, != means not equal to.

Oh, sorry. I didn't understand what you mean by !=, I thought it was just an exclamation mark.

I don't like him.

 

[DaddyK]

He's fucking awesome.

 

[ledzeppelin]

velvet revolver - slither.

woo, velvet revolver

 

[Bookie]

Contrabands a pretty good album, but I guess the Slither solo sticks out.

 

[AsyLum]

Cliffs Of Dover - Eric Johnson
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Freebyrd - Lynyrd Skynyrd
And probably the biggest 'fuck you' to any guitarist Michael Angelo Batio - Speed Kills

 

[karpov]

When The Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

I know it's not a guitar solo, but I don't see it likely that there is going to be any threads dedicated to a bass solo: so i thought i'd make mention of Cliff Burton's (late of Metallica) efforts, really noticeable in Anesthesia - Pulling Teeth. Fucking brilliant. As for guitar solos I think most of the greats have been mentioned, Hendrix, Paige, Hammet etc. Agreed with whoever said the thing about the emotion, despite it's simplicity the guitar solo in Smells Like Teen Spirit really works perfectly.

The bass solo in Stumblin by Powderfinger

 

[duckofdoom]

I particularly like the solo in Sweet child Of Mine by Guns'n'Roses and November Rain by them too.

 

[fakingtheday]

Frank Zappa - The Muffin Man

Oh yeah that's right
