Favorite Guitar Solos (your list)

[dwight]

Have not spent enormous time contemplating this but here are a few that the rest of the site may have overlooked.

War Begun - Live
Eruption
Flirting With Disaster
and anything Jimmy Page did

[Billy_Pilgrim]

Great topic!

There are 2 solos that really stand out for me at the moment (mainly because I listened to the album today) from Love is Hell 1 by Ryan Adams. The Shadowlands and Avalanche are both played out by stunning solos performed by Greg Leisz, who I know a criminally small amount about. The one at the end of Shadowlands is especially haunting.

Eurption by Van Halen has alwyas been one of my favourites.

I also agree with anything Hendrix or Page produced.

AND how could I forget to include Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" (LIVE from "Rock and Roll Animal")!

c'mon now! Peter's a lovely guy (and plays a pretty mean geetar when he wants)! :D

hey man, i had a total obsession with FCA back in the day...from start to finish, that record is great...you are correct, he does play a mean gittr when he wants to!

[marktwain]

thought of one more:  the bit at the end of "stop breathin" by Pavement (off crooked rain, crooked rain) it starts to get kind of dissonant in a really good way -it's so good it's ridiculous. I haven't listened to that album in years, and I started thinking about that part on the way to work this afternoon, and now I'm completely jonesing to hear it - can't wait to get home!

Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne, from The Royal Scam.
Zappa - just about anything, but especially the Hot Rats album.
Hendrix - Like a Rolling Stone (live version)
Derek & the Dominoes - Key to the Highway/Have you ever loved a woman

[antoniostrohs]

Love your taste Greggy,some real guitar gods on your list.Especially Zappa,who a lot of people tend to not to take too seriously because on the humour and sarcasm in his music.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

"pajama people" is still one of my favorite songs... :)

[fitzcarraldo]

Jane's Addiction - Three Days
Always makes me do this:  :o

[wordawg]

What's Going On - Taste.
One of the first solos I ever heard that made stop in my tracks.  Long time ago and haven't heard it for years, but still remember it.  Rory, what a man.
(Was he big in the US?)

[SmoothOprtr]

Did anyone mention the live solo on Cortez the Killer... awsome!

[ben grimm]

David Rawlins on 'Revelator' never fails to make the hair on my neck stand up.

[antoniostrohs]

Bengrim,Good call on David Rawlings.A very under rated guitarist with a great acoustic sound and style.

[EC]

Here, here!  That solo in "I Want to Sing that Rock 'n Roll" is so unbelievable.  And it's cool because it's live, and you can hear people go nuts for it.

(hm.  Is it "here, here", or "hear, hear".  hm)
