If you want good solo's from JF go to his solo records.

Definatly his solo work is excellent one of the best guitarists out there, though i think his vocals vork better as harmonies than main.

This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship. :love:

It's hard to pick a favorite Yes solo. I think it's gotta be either that build up at the end of Trooper, that amazingly weird pedal steel solo from GFTO that sounds like a theremin or that crazy hoedown throwdown from Sound Chaser. :laughing:

But a minor correction, it's called Return of the Giant Hogweed. Awesome song though. It's probably the closest thing to a "rock" song Genesis ever did.

Really? Iv grown to love his voice. Songs like Carvel, Omission, Wednesdays Song (all of Shadow Collide With People) are great example of this. I mean the guy has a ****ing range twice as big as most female singers. Of coarse I respect your opinion also ;) (A little more so because of your avatar)

:afro:

For now, just in the context of the two guitar solos I mentioned (Serve The Servants and In Bloom, and there are 2 or 3 others), my interest is in the way he snuck atonal skronk at earshattering volume onto top-40 radio.

Yeah exactly.

That album is so good. Very underated.

I agree... But the clothes, eh, not so much. =)

VERNON REID's solo work or with Masque has been unbelievably good for the most part... I think I'll go listen to some when Jimi At Winterland is over!

Another one of my favourites (besides the one I posted a few pages back) would be Jeff Baxter's solo in Steely Dan's Change Of the Guard. I'd post the video, but some killjoy's gone and taken it offline.

The acoustic one.

Oasis - Live Forever!

I always found Steve Hackett's solo in Genesis' Firth of Fifth to be utterly compelling, moving and just lifts the whole song to new heights... amazingly good solo. Most of the solos he performs on The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album are equally amazing too. Definitely a very underrated, very talented artist.

Greatest guitar solos
 

Some of the best guitar solos ive heard, are

Eruption-Van halen
Cliffs of Dover-Eric Johnson
Torn-Disturbed
Psycho-System of a down LIVE(because he extends the solo about 1minute when he play it live)
Stairway to heaven- Led zeppelin

any guitar solo you think sounds awesome

Thread exists somewhere already

Maybe you should work on your list while searching for that thread.

Tornado of Souls (Megadeth)

squealer - ac/dc

delivering the goods - priest

clubfoot - fate

Sweet Child O mine - G n R
Freebird - Lynrd Skynrd
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

disturbed doesn't know how to make a solo. How could they have one of the best?

Mine are

COB - Kissing the shadows
Trivium - Anthem
Trivium - Gunshot to the head of Trepidation

Since Ive been loving you- led Zeppelin
Riviera Paradise- SRV
Tunguska- Darkest hour
Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd
This Dying Soul- Dream Theater

I always thought this was badass:

I agree

Maggot Brain - Funkadelic

This song gives me chills

The frist 2 minutes are amazing, then it gets kind of... meh.

tops in my pile is still hendrix's 'bold as love'

his lead in run is unlike any of his other solos. then he forgoes his traditional blues based leads for melodic accompaniment to the main melody. twists it all around back to some bold blues for the false ending, and then... love.

Ugh... gotta go with the real cliche here and say Stairway to Heaven. It's not even like the official version is that epic, but the one on the concert film blew me away.

Gotta say 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. So clean and vibrant. Absolutely my favorite.

ditto for maggot brain, as well as anything else off maggot brain


smashing pumpkins-cherub rock(I don't like the smashing pumpkins but it has an awesome solo)
thin lizzy-romeo and the lonely girl/black rose/the emerald
ac/dc-riff raff

In Flames - Come Clarity (although Clayman is still the best album)

Joe Satriani - Love Thing (because Satch Boogie and Surfing With The Alien don't show as much emotion, and are too predictable)

Queens Of The Stone Age - Little Sister (Josh Homme is underrated!)

Rise Against - Blood-red, White, and Blue (not exactly complicated or anything particularly original, but for some reason i think its awesome)

Tommy Emmanuel - Angelina (an instrumental acoustic piece that is just awesome. I suppose this isn't exactly what the thread is looking for, but **** it, this is awesome)

Look (or, better said, listen to) what these two Argies do:

• Norberto «Pappo» Napolitano, band Pappo's Blues, song Caras en el parque (from min. 1:10 on).
• Walter Giardino, band Rata Blanca, song Preludio obsesivo.

This.

This is probably my all-time favorite guitar song and the solo (at 2:33) is eargasmic.

For some reason I really dig the solo in this song, very raw (starts at 1:40)



The solo in Time is pretty sweet to (starts at 3:30).

Can it be bass guitars too? Well if it can then this

Mikael Akerfeldt's solo in The Grand Conjuration is amazing.

Always loved the solo in Ace of Spades by Motorhead

That's a great solo and a good song... pity i just can't get into anything else by Motorhead... I guess it's just not my thing...

Try Orgasmatron or for an even more powerful version of the song, Sepultura`s version.

hmmm, Sepultura covering that song? sounds very appealing indeed!!!
