Favourite Guitar Solo?

Any Meshuggah solos are very cool and unexpectedly changable.

Gotta hand it to em.

I think the bass solo pulling teeth in metallica: Kill em All in pretty good:D....alot of good guitar playing in this album tbh..

I know the last one may be indie I just don't care!!!! Why is everybody going for metal solos here? Some of the best solos ever are by non metal bands!!

Have you ever heard a Dream Theater solo in your life?

Darkillion · 26-01-2003 5:50pm

i agree, but there are some mighty fine metal ones as well

cournioni · 26-01-2003 7:08pm

Another to add... Suicidal Tendencies - How Will I Laugh Tomorrow.

Oeneus · 26-01-2003 8:05pm

Uh. Black Sabbath - Paranoid? The solo wasn't that impressive!

Darkillion · 26-01-2003 9:47pm

worked for the song though

ManWithThePlan · 26-01-2003 10:03pm

Alice in Chains - Man in the Box
Not the most impressive Cantrell solo but i think it fits in so well with that song.

Darkillion · 26-01-2003 10:19pm

for sure. there was some poll done a few years ago and it was in the top 100. think it was voted by rock guitarists aeound the world

I know someone in my year who can play that, and hes still pretty naff at the guitar

TELEVISION - MARQUEE MOON

mmmmmtastic!!! There's a 15 minute live version floating around the net somewhere, more than half of which is dedicated to guitar (improv) soloing. What's even better?? They've broken out the zimmerframes and played Vicar Street twice in the last 2/3 years.

happydude13, you make me happydude14!! That song (Emassy Row by Pavement) blossoms at 1:04 to be exact

ManWithThePlan · 28-01-2003 8:26pm

Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark [Live at Rock in Rio]

Good solo, brilliant song.

Darkillion · 28-01-2003 9:01pm

the one from best of the beast is class as well

Pauleeeeeeee · 28-01-2003 9:02pm

I just can't wait for the summer so I can go on those nice long 8 hour practice binges on guitar.

I remeber goin to see satriani in 2000 in vicar street...that changed the way I look at music and motivated be to ( try to be ) as good at guitar as him.

Flying in a blue dream by satriani- class class solo

That is the Rock In Rio version.

Oeneus · 28-01-2003 9:38pm

No it isn't. The Rock In Rio one is from "Edward The Great". The Best Of The Beast came out before the Rock In Rio concert even took place!:rolleyes:

Johnny_the_fox · 28-01-2003 10:23pm

Roisin dubh (Black Rose) A Rock Legend - Thin Lizzy

TELEVISION - Little Johnny Jewel...18 mins or so. Animal Solo. Marquee Moon is a warmup compared to it.

Other Worthies

Zappa . stacks and stacks of them
Hendrix, stacks of them,the man who invented the genre

Page/Beck/Blackmore Invented cockrock....much imitated, íts a kinda parody of itself now and has been since acdc started up

My mistake..

Another good solo -
Pantera - Cemetary Gates
Dimebag is killer on his axe.

domeara01 · 29-01-2003 7:02pm

Wanderlust by nightwish

Yeah, cool solo. I personally prefer Domination but then again just about every solo on that album is class.

Have you tried playing it! It's the hardest thing I've ever tried to play on guitar!

domeara01 · 30-01-2003 11:27am

well as a matter of fact i have. do you use sonique media player.
it allows you to adjust the pitch so it is slowed down enough for you to play it,
you can get it at www.sonique.com
you gotta sign up but it costs nothing.

domeara01 · 30-01-2003 11:28am

didnt get it at full speed yet though

That means you can't play it! I mean, anything can be played slowly!

I can just barely get that big scale in Sacrament Of Wilderness at the right speed! It's a good one to try out!:)

domeara01 · 30-01-2003 4:50pm

i must try that actually.
well almost at top speed wanderlust. it is a great tune.

Yea i like that solo.
The Cowboys from Hell album has to be Pantera's best.

Drazhar · 01-02-2003 2:07am

Favourites are
Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Pearl Jam - Alive
Metallica - One

A friend of man has a great term for the Iron Maiden-esque, think Phantom of the Opera style of guitar solos
Guitar Wankery
I think its bloody brilliant

Darkillion · 01-02-2003 6:44pm

i reserve the phrase for tom morellos solos

Giblet · 02-02-2003 1:52am

Wait coming up with different ways of playing solos is guitar wankery?
Ok I take it you dont play guitar, or are shit to think such thoughts.
Morello is a genius when it comes to crazy sounds.
Bit samey on most of his records but different to anyone else.

If you were gonna reserve a phrase like that for some one, try yngwie!
