Favourite Guitar Solo's?

John Squire - I am the Resurrection - Outro


Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well - 1:25 onwards, even the **** up at the end is excellent :D


Iommi - Nuff Said.

No. No, he doesn't. He has standard knowledge of radio-orientated rock without doing one shred of research into anything beyond it. Those solos are tepid at best, as much as I like Nuno Bettencourt.

I listen to a huge amount of guitar based music and I stand firmly by my choices. Just because they are in popular or radio friendly songs doesn't mean they are bad either. Comfortably numb has a tepid solo, are you joking?!

Horses for courses, but I'm sorry, they are all (well except for Rana) pretty universally regarded as 'classic' solos.

EDIT - Oh it's you! Haha, #planbetter

Ooo, this thread has been revived :)

Gonna add some of The Black Keys old stuff. You don't get much (nothing they ever do or have done has ever even been close to self indulgent), but some of the riffs and (short) solos in Stack Shot Billy give me goosebumps. Dan Auerbach is properly under-rated imo. Seen these guys live and they really, really rock!

I agree. So many 'musical connoisseurs' write off great guitar solos and great music, because it's 'overplayed' or something. Someone actually laughed at me the other day when I said that Stairway to Heaven had a great guitar solo in it... :o

lol oh dear :o
 
Dream Theater - Lines in the Sand, Scarred, many more!
Porcupine Tree - shesmovedon, Dark Matter
Rush - Between the Wheels, The Analog Kid, Middletown Dreams, Cold Fire
Pink Floyd - Mother, Time (Comfortably Numb goes without saying!)
The Smashing Pumpkins - Here is no why, Soma
Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love (live on the alchemy cd)
 
How Could I by Cynic, The solo towards the start followed by this one and the whole outro thing - Not the best quality though

 
Using guitar solo in the generally accepted sense, rather than guitar compositions by the usual godly types, these are all ones that are personal favourites. Generally this isn't necessarily because they're the most melodic or epic or whatever, but things like nostalgia, association with events in your life, or just plain 'LOL that's ridiculous and I'll never be able to play that'

Solo starts at 8:00, there are a load of DT ones, but this has always been a favourite

2:55

So many Nevermore ones it's unreal, Jeff Loomis is a metal god:

A load of Metallica ones from albums 2-5, although the whole S&M CD/DVD was what made me want to play guitar (epic Outlaw Torn outro especially).

Got to stick some Thorndendal in here too, nobody does alien Holdsworth better than him, it's his style more than any individual solo:

Oldie but a goldie, 0:40

Loads more but we'd be here all night. These are just the rocky/metal ones too!
 
I love Zakk, and get off on his playing. But he was so much cooler pre-Black Label Society, before he got so over the top with his metal image. He was the man in the Book of Shadows/Pride and Glory days, absolutely brilliant music (and guitar playing, obviously ;)).
 
I haven't listened to Order of the Black, but all of their other albums have some absolutely killer tracks on. But I agree, there's something about that beard...
