edna 6 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Loud Green Song ~ Patto (Ollie Halsell) Funny, it´s the first time I see Ollie Halsall mentioned here... I had almost forgotten about him myself. He played with many different people such as Robert Fripp, John Cale or Petula Clark (he plays guitar in "Downtown"...) Link to post Share on other sites

RonJonSurfer 15 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Mick Ronson on the entire " Spiders From Mars " tour ! :guitar: I couldn't pick a favorite by Ronson, too many. However, Panic In Detroit, The Width of A Circle and Moonage Daydream would qualify as "Greatest" solos. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 2 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Comfortably Numb from The Delicate Sound of Thunder! Truely the best EVER!!! Link to post Share on other sites
edna 6 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 There is an amazing guitar in "I put a spell on you" by CCR. Link to post Share on other sites
Danielj 1 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I start to forget how rock oriented songfacts is. Here's my top 10: 1. Facing West - Pat Metheny 2. Easter - Steve Rothery (Marillion) 3. Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix 4. Shine On You Crazy Diamond - David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) 5. All Blues - George Benson 6. West Coast Blues - Wes Montgomery 7. Chords Of Life - Joe Satriani 8. Crossroads - Eric Clapton (Cream) 9. Down By The River - Neil Young 10. Bright Size Life - Pat Metheny Quite a contrast there. . . but that's what music is all about isn't it?

Odoyle Rules 0 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 1. Freebird- Lynyrd Skynyrd 2. Eruptionm- Van Halen the rest suck Link to post Share on other sites
TheLizard 1 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 A few that I don't think have been mentioned that are worth a listen: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"- Clapton w/ Beatles "Tales of Brave Ulysses"- Cream (also Clapton, of course) "Sweet Child O' Mine"- Guns N' Roses (Slash) "Orion"- Metallica Anything from Electric Ladyland (or Hendrix period, but I love this album so much) "Thunderstruck"- AC/DC (Angus Young) "In My Time of Dying"- Led Zeppelin (Page) Link to post Share on other sites
WalterMitty 0 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Other honorable mentions to those already stated.. I'm Goin' Home - Ten Years After (Alvin Lee) Woodstock. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin (Jimmy Page) UnLedded version. America - Yes (Steve Howe)[Original by Paul Simon] Purple Rain - Prince I would also include the entire album "Friday Night San Francisco" by John Mclaughlin, Al Di Meola and Paco de Lucia. Jaw dropping playing throughout. YouTube Taster Here Link to post Share on other sites
randawakes 0 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 By far the best guitar solo: Always With Me Always With You - Joe Satriani Yeah yeah you can't argue with that, just listen at about the 2 minute mark, its sick Link to post Share on other sites
TheTallOne 0 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 This isn't really a classic, but the solo in "King Without a Crown" by Matisyahu has a real classic rock feel and is definentaly worth a listen. Link to post Share on other sites

Wyld Card 5 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I agree with the initial top 10 that was posted, maybe not the order though. I would replace One with Fade to Black by Metallica. Yngwie Malmsteen is another good guitarist that most people haven't heard of. Link to post Share on other sites
edna 6 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 John McLaughlin and Santana on the 1972 album Love Devotion Surrender That record is awesome... I spent the whole 1973 listening to this album every day. Link to post Share on other sites

Wyld Card 5 Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 He's Alright, But Not As Good As Joe Satriani Or SRV Or Anything. I Used To Have A Compilation Cassette Back In The Day, Which Had About A Dozen Solo Guitarists With Their Premiere Signature Track. My Friends Would Rate Them & Think That We Were Better Players (Not Me, I Played Bass & Had To Sit This One Out) Sloppy Fret Handling & Power Chord Extensions Are A Recipe For Disaster.

Peace Frog 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Favourite 10: 1. Stairway to Heaven- Led Zeppelin 2. Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd 3. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (part one)- Pink Floyd 4. Dazed And Confused- Led Zeppelin 5. Money- Pink Floyd 6. Rotten Apple- Alice In Chains 7. Time- Pink Floyd 8. Hey You- Pink Floyd 9. Panda- Dungen 10. Here Again- Rush Those might not be in order. Link to post Share on other sites
afroceltduck 0 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Some of my favorites: -"Bold As Love" by Jimi Hendrix. Everyone always mentions "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", but as a serious Hendrix fan, I think this is possibly Jimi's greatest solo. -"The End" by The Beatles. What a way to end a career! -"Rock And Roll" by Led Zeppelin -"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC. Especially the beginning of the song. -"We Will Rock You" by Queen -"Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd -"Doesn't Remind Me" by Audioslave. A great modern rock song. I couldn't possibly begin to compile a top-ten list of the all-time greatest solos. I'd have to hear all the already-mentioned solos and then some to rank them at all.
