favourite guitar solo ?!

Personal fav. : Lay low

[KarateDreamzShoNuff]

Yeah, when I saw the title of the post, I immediately went to Lay Low. That one deserves all the renown and recognition we can muster

I personally believe Duane Allman's spirit descended from the Heavens and into Carl's body during the Okonokos Xmas Curtain.

I've always loved the ending of Mahgeetah. Right after Jim scream "i've been waiting on the boat here i've been waiting so long" till the very end.

War Begun hands down so haunting. Lay low, Magheeta, Thank You too, Dondante, Spring are up there for me as well but that's just off the top of my head.

Off the Record

You know though, what really makes Laylow so good is the fact that it's not a solo, it's a DUO!!! 

[darizzzla]

@BH spot on. still great yeah

[rkwedge]

This is like picking which one of your kids you love the most. Two of my favs are already up here War Begun and Off the Record I'd throw a couple sleepers in there too The Bear and Gideon

You NEED to get Okonokos.  Its a live recording of late 2005 performances.  Its available as a 4xLP box set, 2-CDs, and also on DVD.  Should be easy to find copies via Amazon or eBay.

carl's in mageetah

i always wish Carl would rip his solo section in Dancefloors, instead of playing it a little bluesier and quieter before Jim comes flying into his part. Dancefloors, when it's rippin, is beyond anything.

Phone Went West, Red Rocks 8/4/2012! THE VERSION of PWW, the greatest ever, still have yet to hear one that tops it (or even close to be honest and I heard the Beacon one and RR2015's wasn't as good as it could've been, same with RR2016, albeit it's hard to fuck with perfection, which PWW/RR2012 WAS, I was lucky to hear this version two days earlier in SLC and it was DIVINE). The guitars are just wailing and climbing higher and higher up the neck at ALL the right parts. It's really Jacket playing for their lives, playing at the dawn of the apocalypse...just literal MAGIC.

Lay Low is a totally duh moment for them, it's probably the greatest guitar solo, as far as arrangement, note selection and emotional build, since the 70s. I've seen it live before and it was.....good god....Jim went nuts...it was an 8 and a half minute version and he just kept going and going and going...Carl was right there with him every step of the way, but it was beautiful how they'd veer off on their own thing while coming back to unite the notes.

The heavy reverb and delay on the explosive guitar notes in Slow Slow Tune are just orgasmic. I WOULD call that a solo.

Masterplan should be longer so we can hear Carl just absolutely break his Blackie Les Paul, the only version I've felt was adequate (meaning they actually go to the full frontier of the Masterplan end jam and let Carl wail) was the ACL 2016 episode! I was so shocked and surprised, because usually Jim cuts him short, usually RIGHT AS HE'S WAILING TOO...sometimes I see Carl get a little annoyed by that, cause he's ALWAYS feelin Masterplan.

Good god, so many. Great thread!

Sooo powerful. My favorite. It's always about more than just the solo with them boys.
