Guitar solos

[Stinkers Bridge]

Green Onions - Booker T & The MG's

 

[Man of Harveys]

No question, nothing comes close: Larry Carlton's guitar solo on Kid Charlemagne by Steely Dan is the best guitar ever recorded - voted, I believe, by Rolling Stone magazine as the best guitar solo ever. Or something.

Anyway, get to Limewire now, rip it off and have something in place to stop your jaw shattering on the ground when Lazza does his thing. The man's a GENIUS - some his other stuff with the Crusaders is fairly bland funk-lite but with some incredible guitar playing in between, the instrumental Spiral being a prime example.

 

[Bluejuice]

Back in the USSR - The Beatles

Proper love that one

 

[We're the Stripes]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird.
Eagles - Hotel California,
Hendrix - Bold As Love.

 

[Icy Gull]

Voodoo Chile - Hendrix

Manic Street Preachers- Archives Of Pain, very underrated guitar solo IMO

Red House-Hendrix is also an awesome bluesy solo

 

[Grendel]

Man of the World - Fleetwood Mac. Before Fleetwood Mac became a steaming pile of MOR turd, they were a bloody good blues band. It's not the flashiest solo ever, in fact it's incredibly simple to play, but it fits with the song perfectly and remains (in my opinion) one of Peter Green's finest moments.

SPLURT!

[Wilka]

You Love Us - Manics

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I don't think I know that but from your description it sounds good. I hate all those Steve Vai widdly, widdly solo's or Eric Clapped outs blues snorathons.

Ernie Isley SPANKING his plank in "Summer Breeze" is pretty damn special

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Brian Robertson / Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous - Still in Love with you

Slash / Guns N Roses - November Rain

Michael Schenker / UFO - Live - Lights Out

David Gilmour / Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

I think that just about covers it.

 

[Icy Gull]

Gary Moore's Parisienne walkways is pretty evocotive if not the best ever guitar solo

 

[Grendel]

Michael Schenker / UFO - Live - Lights Out

I take it you mean "Strangers in the Night"? Schenker wasn't in the band when "Live" was released.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Correct

 

[Half Time Pies]

Steve Vai / Whitesnake - Slip of the tongue

Gary Moore - Still got the blues (saw him play this live and made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck).

Mark Knopfler / Dire Straits - Telegraph Road

 

[Marc]

AC/DC - Hells Bells
Strung Out - Too Close To See

 

[METALMICKY]

And how to play them!

For the totally indulgent 'plank spanking' i prefer Malmsteen, Vai and Satriani.

Otherwise i have always loved twin guitar stuff like Iron Maiden & Thin Lizzy.

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Slash - November Rain



Mark Knopfler - Sultans of Swing

Unfortunately I don't play the guitar, my brother does and seems to think Sweet Child O' Mine is piss easy, so much so he insists on showing off by playing it wrong handed behind his back.






































What a wanker he is

 

[The Wookiee]

Metallica - Enter Sandman

Derek & the Dominos - Layla
