Hey yall

Just wondering, what are you favorite guitar solos? I want some suggestions because I have been listening to a lot of rock lately and I'm loving the guitar solos so I'm wondering what your favorite solos are.

My favorite would have to be slash's solo from sweet child of mine. My second favorite would be from lynard skynard, and my third favorite from all along the watchtower by hendrix.

So what are you favorite solos?

Good choices "exe11er".
I"m into rockabilly. Fave solos, Both solos from "Stray Cat Strut" by Stray Cats.Lots of jazzy bits & brilliant melody.
Solo from Restless version of "Long Black Shiny Car", It just ROCKS!

Wow I've never even heard of those guys LOL I'll be sure to check them out thanks

Some of my favourites.......

Fake Plastic trees - Radiohead

Spoke in the Wheel - Black Label Society

Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers

All add more later as I think of them.

Metallica - One

WAR PIGS for me

I love the Metallica - Fade to black solo


Although it's too easy, learned it in about 2 days. xD Best solo ever though

Cool topic exe11er.

This has to one of the''Greatest Guitar Solos '' ever played & heard IMO...Eddie @ his most awesome best!

Ben Harper Number 3

Allthough I could only find covers of the original

Maggot Brain, suckas. All of it.

Another one of the all time ''Greatest Guitar Solos'' ('original soundtrack' not clip)


Joey's masterpiece...crank it up!

completely agree or stairway to heaven, and fade to black, all great solos

That has to be one of the toughest questions to answer.

This though, has to be one of my favorites

Harry K cody from Shotgun Messiah on Heartbreak Boulevard

incidently the singer, Tim Skold is now the guitarist for... yup, you guessed it

Marilyn Manson!

But watch the vid cause the solo kicks!!!

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

Someone had to say it

Spellbinding

if you love Guitar Solo's you should check out "White Summer" by Led Zeppelin composed by the great JIMMY PAGE!!!

Hey Baby~ Jimi Hendrix



Who can never cease to be amazed at him?

That was nice!

My favorite song-length guitar solo would have to be: HIZAKI grace project - "Race Wish" (I'm pretty sure only the guitar is live.)
Hizaki is probably not as technically skilled as Eddie, but this solo is the prettiest I've ever heard. He's my favorite guitarist. (Yes, I said "He")

Ooooh. I love that song. Can't believe I forgot about it.

AC/DC - Thunderstruck

Billy Gibbons/ZZtop ~ BlueJean blues

Ahh yes, the sweet tunes of Billy Gibbons.

And some even sweeter guitar tunes of SRV Texas Flood


must be the wide open spaces, beautiful heat and endless blue skies in Texas?

I have a lot of guitar solos that's I'm quite fond of. Some of my favorites are in

"99" by The Haunted
"As I Destruct" by Threat Signal
"Dead to Me" by Silent Civilian
"I and I" by Soufly

Uh....too hard to name anymore, haha. I know I have a lot more, though.

Paul Waggoner

I can't believe I haven't even heard of half of these solos Wierd I'm on here looking for good solos quite a bit.



Hey I love ALL the acdc solos they have a good solo for each of their songs. I kind of think angus young isn't getting the credit he fully deserves but anyway......

Sorry but I beat you to the skynard solo lol.

Couple more:

Phantom of the Opera - Iron maiden

Suicide - Motorhead

Stone dead Forever - Metallica version

The Trooper - Iron Maiden

Lol Dragonforce has some pretty fast solos. Pretty cool ones too. But not as good as all the classics mentioned above


Clicky!

I don't listen to much music actually.. so I would have to say, of the 2 or 3 I can think of, I'd have to go with stairway to heaven

one of my favorites would have to be stranglehold by ted nugent.
the whole song is basicly a solo but i like it.
also master exploder by tenacious d has a good one

I forgot this one Lazy by deep purple.

As soon as I saw the thread title, Eruption was the first song that came to mind.

Good choice!

Steve Morse

Ummmm, yea, I would have his baby!

Brian May - Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

It's not fast. It's not flashy. It's not technically brilliant. But it is my favourite guitar solo of all time.

The best guitar solo iv'e heard is by the guitarist in Grand Funk Railroad, can't remember the song, but he's jamming throughout the song. Then he does his solo (it's a great one in my opinion, and it's a long solo), then the band kicks back in and they finish the song. Overall it's one kick**s song and solo.
I know someone out there knows it, I need to go and get the album on CD, it rocks.

My ultimate solo:

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb


Eyes closed and enjoying

Edward Van Halen's opening to 'Mean Street'.

This isn't him, can't find a good one of EVH doing it, but this is a damn good version by whoever this is:

Great solo. but it doesnt have to be difficult to be good.sometimes, simple is best.

Every single note of Sabbaths Snowblind.

I Lve everthing this guy plays..........................http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7QriGZBV0s

Ozzy Osbourne - Perry Mason

Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears

I cant pick a favorite really.. but here's some Paul Gilbert I found which is pretty cool..

Insane Guitar

Another fave:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8UPi3KUiOQ

You beat me to it Tiggs. Although I don't know if I agree with it not being technically brilliant. Brian May's sound is so completely recognizable! I love the sound!!!

Beatles - Helter Skelter
Led Zepplin- Stair way
There is also Peter Frampton- Show me the way.
Areosmith - Kings and Queens and Back in the Saddle is better known
Just a few old school off the top of my head.
Has Alex Lifeson, Robert Fripp or Adrian Belue ever done a bad guitar solo?

Love the Guitars don't know if you'd call them a solo per say but love the sound on Rob/White Zombie- More human than human.

Regards,
Mabon.

I did a compilation with my favorite solos and guitar riffs. Some of the tracks are not solos but just great riffs.

Chuck Berry- Johnny Be Good
Blue Oyster Cult- Don't fear the reaper-amazing solo
Van Halen-Eruption
Metallica- Ride the Lightning- the solo gives the lightning effect as it recreates the execution
Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera- opening riff
Led Zeppelin- Dazed and Confused
Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley (two great solos)
Exteme- Play with me ( starts off with an insane transcription of Mozart's Rondo alla turca)
Black Sabbath- Iron Man- possibly metal's most famous riff
Rush-all the solos on the 2112 album LOL.

RazorBlade Kiss by HIM!!!!

Black Label Society - Sold My Soul

If you are into new stuff there are some pretty bad(good) solos on the album Faceless by Godsmack.
