Green grass and high tides...The Outlaws

Any others please but they have to be musical not just bashing the shit out of a guitar

 

[7oaksgull]

Sultans of swing...Dire Straits

[corkster]

mistreated ....... deep purple live in europe

 

[Tricky Dicky]

comfortably numb.......... pink floyd live

Whenever we have this conversation, this seems to always come out on top. As an ex-guitarist, I'm sure I could add plenty of others, Garry Moore was always one of my favs, so I guess I'd put Parisienne Walkways up there.

 

[stu7878]

Best acoustic solo: #41 - Tim Reynolds with Dave Matthews live at Luthur college

 

[The Grockle]

Guitar. Thin lizzy, whisky in the jar.

Base. Stranglers, Nice and sleazy.

 

[Seaford Seagull]

Master of Puppets - Metallica

 

[Man of Harveys]

Every, what, 2-3 months this topic crops up on here? And the answer still remains the same: Larry Carlton on the Crusader's "Spiral".

Good times - The Stone Roses

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

[Don Tmatter]

'American Ruse' - MC5

 

[Pavilionaire]

"The Spirit Of Radio" - Rush.

Good times - The Stone Roses

That is a good solo, as is the phase bit in Made of Stone...

My 2 personal favourites right now are the second half of Sweet child o Mine, and also a live version Communication Breakdown - both wah wah based. Tomorrow i'll have different ones, such is the nature of guitar solos

 

[public school boy]

Year of The Cat... Al Stewart
Take care of yo' business... Walter Trout

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Not the best (I'm not the man to jdge) but was very struck by this the other day. Bit of background music on House. I hadn't heard it before - I guessed it might be Snowy White, Mrs TRHK thought it felt like early Carlos Santana, turns out to be Funkadelic.

One of my favourites - the much maligned Gary Moore:

Stone Roses - The riff towards the end of Resurrection is my personal fave.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

"The Spirit Of Radio" - Rush.

This = 11/10

Also, the Richie Sambora segue between acoustic and electric guitar on the show-stopping 'Wanted Dead or Alive...' that closes most BJ gigs

Parisienne Walkway the best version I have heard is by a session musician Clive Read who plays pubs etc under the name of Clive Live.
