Guitar Solos

[Behind Enemy Lines]

The guitar throughtout Sweet Child O' Mine is glorious, and the solo just crowns it.

Good shout.
AC/DC's " Highway to hell" also falls into that category.

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

The most underrated guitarist: Ernie isley from the Isley Bros fantastic

Quite true but I'm sure I read somewhere that none other than Jimi Hendrix played on some of their hits.

Boredom by the Buzzcocks- proving that great guitar solos don't have to include many notes.

Hendrix indeed played with the Isleys early in his career. Now there is my real hero James Marshall Hendrix!

If you want guitar solos (showing my age now) grab a Wishbone Ash album.

The first band I ever saw live.
Queen's Brighton Rock has to be a contender. Though most Hendrix would probably beat it.

No doubt about that but the thing about Wishbone Ash is that they had two lead guitarists which at the time and even now, apart from Skynyrd, was virtually unheard of.

I dont do guitar solos but if I did they would include Jimi Hendrix and the one out of brothers in arms. I dont know if its technically that good but it gives me goose bumps!

stairway to heaven,comfortably numb are my two fav's off the top of my head

hendrix was just in a class of his own. probably go through all his songs later to find the best solo(i know, its a tough life)

 

[Seagull over SW France]

For my sins I do a blues/rock radio show every week in sunny France.............amongst my favourites would have to be"Desdemona" by the Allmans (or anything by their guitarists, Warren Haynes/Derek Trucks..............or up and coming blues guitarists like Joe Bonamassa,John Mayer,Kenny Wayne Shepherd,Johnny Lang..........the list is endless...........

Thin Lizzy?

Which reminds me - how about Whiskey in the Jar as a solo?

 

[Hampden Park]

thin lizzy - emerald

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

gay bar

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Surely Van Halen's solo on Michael Jackson's Beat It has to be up there?

I may have mentioned that in the first post

I admit it's quite annoying that some of the stuff I'd like to play is impractical, but sadly it seems most students, especially considering those listening will probably be hung over (as will I at some stage of the week!) don't really want to listen to 7 or 8 minute long songs.

Thanks for the suggestions though, keep 'em coming!

Prefer the one's in Paradise City and Night Train.

Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry
