Farin Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Hey Ray oh really, just how could I've missed that?
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Go Your Own Way ~ Lindsey Buckingham.... I wouldn't say this would be in my top 10 favs but in my top 20 and I really think that Lindsey is under rated as a guitar player. Oh and it really kicks butt on the album The Dance, longer version.
_Laurie_ Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Go Your Own Way ~ Lindsey Buckingham.... I really think that Lindsey is under rated as a guitar player. I totally agree SJ....He still can kick butt on that guitar...I saw him on tv not too long ago...He's still awesome! :guitar:
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Oh I know and he always seems to get lost in the shuffle when you talk about great guitar players. He is awesome in concert! :guitar:
berjo Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised that I have them listed with my old username. Anyway, here they are - 1) "My Sharona" by the Knack. Berton Averre does more than justice with a full frontal 1:31 ferocious attack on the fretboard that's complete, never needing more. 2) "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zep. No ad nauseum here, for just a great blues lead (A minor) with the 'F' thrown in for good measure. 3) "Ice Cream Man" by Van Halen. Everyone seems to nod for 'Eruption' as Eddie's cream of the crop. However, they overlook what I still feel is Eddie's best ever solo. 4) "(Only A) Summer Love" by REO Speedwagon. Gary Richrath's amazing 'live' version from their great double LP album, "Live! You Get What You Play For," released back in 1977. Whether or not there was studio tinkering involved, his guitar playing puts goosebumps on my goosebumps. 5) "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple. Richie Blackmore's tour de force. Amazing not only with the bends, but the fast particular phrases as well. He is also all over the fretboard but you wouldn't know by the intricate fingering and picking.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Thanks for the reminder of the REO Speedwagon one berjo. I haven't heard that in quite awhile, great tune and kick butt guitar from Gary Richrath!
Blue Fish Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Queen bohemian Rasphedy (so sorry about the spelling!!)
blue_n_white Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Queen bohemian Rasphedy (so sorry about the spelling!!) I have always loved Queen guitarist Brian May. He just seems to have a different sound to his guitar playing,very distinctive and unique.And I hope spelling doesn't count on here because I'm a terrible speller.Btw,it's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and I have to look it up every time to see how it's spelled. And I agree,great song and guitar work :guitar:.

Dappled Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 Loud Green Song - Patto Ollie Halsall was a great guitarist (left handed)!
Foolonthehill Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Let It Be- The Beatles I really like both versions (single and album). Uplifting. I tried listening to both versions at once one time- two sets of headphones plugged into two different devices. It didn't synchronize too well. Oh well.
Blue Fish Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Hotel California - The Eagles. It has an awesome solo in the middle! How could I have missed it before??
Slowhand Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 If we're talking Queen, I'm more of a fan of "Killer Queen" myself, the middle of that song has some handy May guitaring in there. Sweet Child O' Mine, Slash in all his glory. Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughn. Little Wing by Jimi.
Super Ry 71 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Let It Be- The Beatles I really like both versions (single and album). Uplifting. I tried listening to both versions at once one time- two sets of headphones plugged into two different devices. It didn't synchronize too well. Oh well. I tried doing that once too. Didn't work for me either.
Foolonthehill Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 Haha yeah...I need to edit the guitar solo out of one, then layer it onto the other version. I'll never get around to it. I just listened to Something, and it's solo is great for something that doesn't scream so much.
crazyguy29 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Dave Mustaine-Five Magics Kirk Hammett-Damage, Inc. Slash-Sweet Child O' Mine Zakk Wylde-Fire It Up Oz Fox-The Way Angus Young-Shake a Leg Eddie Van Halen-Eruption Alex Lifeson-Working Man Mick Mars-Kickstart My Heart Rudolf Schenker-Still Loving You
MuzikTyme Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Undoubtedly, this next instrumental acoustic solo is among my favourite of all time . . . Man of Constant Sorrow
Viaene Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I'm so afraid - Fleetwood Mac (live 1997 version)
Mike Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 With so much emphasis on the length of guitar solos Many shorter ones get overlooked. George Harrison created some of the best, most memorable and enduring solos of all-time. Two of my favorites are within I want you - Abbey Road and Let it be (album version outtake).
