Re: Favorite Guitar Solos

Every solo posted on here so far is a masterpice in it's own right...

Sails Of Charon / So many lives away / Catch Your train / most everthing by...by Uli Roth is still mind numbing till this day....for me anyways..

I have his Metamorphisis disc on right now..his version of Vivaldi's four seasons....this is untouchable by any other human hands..IMHO

He is the man! [img]graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

he's kinda weird though.. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Favorite Guitar Solos

Ya know, it's weird. Out of all the songs I know, when I think the words "guitar solo" I always think;

Pink Floyd - "The Final Cut"

David Gilmour...hmm...

Comfortably Numb solo by David Gilmour. (Pink Floyd - The Wall, 1979)......btw, that description was for all you young dudes who probably never heard of Dave!
For the more seasoned fans, here's the normal description:
Gilmour, Comfortably Numb.
Yup, I'm feeling OLD tonight! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Anyway......Dave had one of the thickest, cleanest, most emotional blues strat sounds I've ever heard. A lot of their success was owed to Dave IMHO.
As far as metal is concerned, Rhoads and Lynch will always be my favs.
Course, there are a lot of others I like as well!......should I list them all or do we just get to choose a couple????
Oh Fuck, this thread was about favorite solos, not favorite artists........damn I'm going to bed now..... [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: Favorite Guitar Solos

Vito's solo in 'little fighter' is still a favorite of mine.

Some of the solos in Dream theater's first album, and Metrop pt.2 also stand out to me.

For good bluesy/metal solos I've always liked Zaks solo in 'No More Tears'.
