Best GUITAR SOLO ever...

[Withdean Wanderer]

Now THAT is a poll and a half, some brilliant selections in there!

Brighton Rock is good, Hendrix is good, 'DC is good, hell, they're all bloody good!

Between November Rain and Comfortably Numb though....think Floyd just edge it

 

[Frutos]

Bon Jovi - Dry County

Richie F'N Sambora



Eruption (EVH), November Rain (Slash) and Hotel California (Don Felder/Joe Walsh) are right up there for me too.

and Hotel California (Joe Walsh) are right up there for me too.

OK that's it..the 2nd reference to Joe Walsh's solo on Hotel California on this thread It was Don Felder and Joe Walsh playing twin lead guitars which is why it is so awesome please stop crediting the cool one only

If you want to argue abiout have a look att his 1st to refresh your memory. Old old video when they were young rockers not old businessmen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvzE1rNIvIk

My apologies.

Both Felder and Walsh are awesome.

Hell, the whole band (all 7 of them past and present (Henley, Frey, Felder, Walsh, Schmit, Leadon & Meisner)) are great musicians and vocalists, which is why even now, they still sound far superior to the vast majority of bands out there.

The "Eagles harmonies", have become legendary, and rightly so.

carlos santana - Incident at Neshabur ( lotus triple live album in japan)

THREAD CLOSED

I've GOT that album - the most flamboyant sleeve artwork ever, with a load of MASSIVE fold-out posters in each part of the sleeve.

You don't get that with CDs

Oh, by the way, for me it has to be Ten Years After followed closely by Freebird

This is truly magnificent and gratifying that there are other unashamed fans of indulgent guitar solos out there. Prob is, I couldn't possibly pick one. Just taken delivery of Freebird the Movie so my leanings are obvious. My avatar gives another clue. Come on Attila, just one Saturday gives us what we crave!

YEAH!!!

Let's have Red House by Hendrix for starters!

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Sonny Landreth, On Cannibals with Mark Knopfler. Awesome,class.

Comfortably numb immediatley springs to mind but as the list suggests there are so many more. Personally I like Extreme's "Play With Me" & EVH in Michael Jacksons "Beat It"

 

[Marc]

Bon Jovi - Dry County for me!

 

[NMH]

Horrible menschens are surely due to 'I Ain't Got You' by The Yardbirds (Eric Clapton), 'The Year Of The Cat' Al Stewart (Tim Renwick), and not least for Jimi Hendrix at the end of 'Johnny B. Goode' from 'In The West' album

Voodoo Chile wins that list for guitarwork imho, except it really isn't a guitar solo as the whole tune is blazing amazing guitar strangulation..... so I had to vote for the emphatic power issued forth in 'Comfortably Numb'.

Bon Jovi - Dry County for me!

A man of seriously good taste.

Anyone who loves good guitar solos, but who has never heard this song and solo (it's not one of Jovi's biggest commercial hits) would be well advised to check it out, because it's a seriously impressive piece of playing from a very talented musician IMO.

 

[Biscuit]

Freebird anyone? I f***ing love that solo. Just close your eyes and imagine your playing to 50,000 people...

 

[Ansty Seagull]

I know the classic film is Knebworth but the footage of a concert in San Francisco is awesome. Solo though? Allen Collins plays a considerable solo role, worthy on its own, but the track and Skynyrd's whole thing was three guitars and without the input of Gary Rossington and Steve Gaines would it be the same?

Fair point, but Collins was always the main man on Freebird.

The stuff on One more from the Road is AWESOME - I think it was only Gaines' 4th gig with the band or something and Collins re-did his Freebird solo 29 times in the studio afterwards, but STILL couldn't get it any better

Skynyrd are probably the best live Band I've ever seen. The were fantastic in a concert environment but outside - I saw them when they supported The Stones at Knebworth - they were unbelievable.

Sadly the bloke who played it is now dueting with Jomi Hendrix.

 

[Ansty Seagull]

You saw them? Deep awe! I was 15 when the plane went down but a bloke I played footie with saw them as support to Golden Earring (I think they ended the tour as headliners). I see it as my sacred duty to instill Skynyrd (plus the Allmans, Little Feat etc) into my own kids heads.

 

[Bromley shrimp]

Dazed & Confused (Live) at 28 mins it has to be if we're talking strictly guitar solos. Hendrix and Page are really the godfathers in this department with Knopfler a close 3rd.

What about Cream - Badge?

 

[Biscuit]
