Favorite guitar solos
Not the fastest, and none of them are 'the 30 best' but what are your favorite to hear on the radio? Known or unknown guitarists.. In otherwords, what gets you air guitaring? NO CRITICAL Comments like "Yuck, how do you like that"
There are hundreds I can think of, but two that popped on recently that are favorites... I love the exit solo on White room. not the fastest, or longest of Claptons, but a favorite... YouTube - Cream - White Room LIVE! Killer queen; Brian May, astrophysist... YouTube - queen - killer queen |
good thread,
I'll stipulate these are some of my favorite rock solos Jeff Beck - Cause we've ended as lovers. Amazing phrasing and the entire song build to the solo. YouTube - Jeff Beck - Cause We've Ended As Lovers Jimmy Page - Ten Years Gone Love the flange/phase effect and beautiful up of the solo. listen how he begins the solo at 2:30 YouTube - Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone For air guitar, the ultimate guitar explosion 3minutes and 48 seconds of one giant flash guitar showcase. This never gets old to me. YouTube - Van Halen - Van Halen - I'm The One |

:grins: Alvin Lee, Ten Years After, I'm Goin' Home at Woodstock 8/15/69. Give it a listen.... unbelievable, and he was WHACKED!!!! :smash:
|
I don't get utube at work, but Van Halen's Eruption and Little Guitars are at the top of my list. Prince's Lets Go Crazy is up there too.

wow, so many. Tull- Aqualung, Procol Harum- The Idol, Outlaws- Green Grass and High Tides, Dave Mason- Shouldn't of took more than you gave, Gary Moore- Only fool in town, to name a few off the top of my head. I like so many

Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover
Allman Brothers Band - Blue Sky Jorma Kaukonen - Sea Child (on Hot Tuna's Burghers) Pete Anderson (w. Dwight Yokum) - Long White Cadillac Tom Verlaine - Marquee Moon |

RIJimmy, sorry for the dup, but I like this version better..and is a double header, as it also features one of the better bass solos as well.
YouTube - JEFF BECK LIVE Cause We've Ended As Lovers And, while Prince is not always on my "top ten".. I think he owned it here: YouTube - While my guitar gently weeps - exceptional Prince incredible guitar playing and waayy too many more to list.. good thread! |
Here is a clip of Eric Johnson's Cliff of Dover which I did not have time to find before my earlier post
YouTube - Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover |
Those are all great selections. Here's another decent one but just a little different from Duke Robillard.
YouTube - Duke Robillard - Gee I Wish |

An odd mix of jazz and country that works so well. Listen to George Bensons solo in the middle of the song. That guitar is smooth as butter in his hands.
YouTube - Chet Atkins & George Benson |

Tom Verlaine...Tom Verlaine... wow, I did not see that coming. Great pick that one! As are all of the above in their own right.
My first come to mind favs always seem to be Metheny "Amelia" live from Shadows and Light, and Gilmore "Shine on You Crazy Diamond". Suppose I would also offer up Frank Zappa - Variation On The Carlos Santana Secret Chord Progression, John McLaughlin with Mahavishnu Orchestra "Meeting of the Spirits", Al DiMeola "Race With The Devil on a Spanish Hwy". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOiSdQldrmc Tom Verlaine....wow Maybe we should be having a Vinyl Fest or something just like it. |

[QUOTE=Tagger;831825]I've never even owned a Ten Years After album but Woodstock 1969 Alvin Lee is still my favirote live performance ever.. Best guitar faces anyway ... frickin great piece .. long ,, too bad they cut it short .
