Lucky Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Since most of my picks have already been mentioned, I had to think on this.Strangely enough since my tastes normally run to Jimi, hard rock guitar, and blues, I think the banjo-like playing of Lindsay Buckingham is/was very underrated. Say You Will is phenominal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Any guitar solo by Mick Taylor between 1969-1874. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyguitar Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 UFO Rock Bottom riff....Schenker at his best and a damned site more difficult to play than it sounds. Even harder (ie I can't do it ) Satch Boogie riff by Satriani. For 'composed' solo that is brief, melodic and to the point with a bit of viruosity thrown in I would also go with The Eric Bell solo for Whiskey in the Jar by Thin Lizzy....and anyone who even suggest that Metallica's version deserves to even reside on the same planet may rot forever in a dungheap of their own bad taste, foul ignorant heathens that they are :: JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 What, you didn't know that Mick Taylor can time travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyguitar Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 I saw him playing with John Mayall a few months back and he looked like he was born in 1874. Also JM's other guitarist was awesome. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Not all bands are supposed to be "philispohical" like Pink Floyd, U2, Bruce Springsteen etc are. U2 and Springsteen are philisophical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman14141414 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 U2 and Springsteen are philisophical? More philisophical than Aerosmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt_Acid Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 You're joking right? I think Bruce Springsteen kicked Socrates' ass with the song Lost In The Flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
