Your favourite Solo (2 Viewers)

[Bisco]

i dunno... i cant remember anything significantly good about ATSS' solos, even though it is a good song.

my fav solo has got to be the guitar solo in " afraid to shoot strangers" - iron maiden.

Death to Petrucci!!!!!!!!!!!

Petrucci > EVH

 

[HelterSkelter]

Now you're exaggerating.Seriously.

Petrucci is very good,but Eddie is on a different level.

ERUPTION!!!!!!!!!!:lick:

Word...

Eruption is soooooooooooooo overrated! i listed to that song so many times and found nothing great about it...

You are sooooooooooooooooo gay.

The best thing about Eruption is its name, I agree, it's an overrated song. Hell it's not even a song FFS, it's a show-off; "Ooh, look how well I play the guitar, I can keep this solo going for hours". A number of top guitar players can do that shit. A song must have structure, that's when a solo has that WOW effect. A good solo must be incorporated into that structure, it needs to be the climax of an actual song, not just a jamming session. I'd take the 15 second solo from Whole Lotta Love over Eruption anyday, it's more brilliant in every possible way.

I'm not trying to diss Eddie, he's a great, but Eruption is not all that.

Sorry dude, Sheik's right. Petrucci is the better guitar player.

Supposedly, Petrucci has the best technique out of them all. But technique is not everything.

 

[Dinsdale]

I'm not fond of either of them composition-wise. Rock guitar solos are overrated anyway.

John Williams?

 

[Dinsdale]

I'm not familiar with John Williams as a soloist, but now you mention it, there are a lot of classical guitarists who would make even the best rock guitarists feel embarrassed.

 

[V]

Those are two different worlds which can't be compaired.

 

[SoulSiick]

about Iron maiden,the acoustic solo in Nomad is simple,but its from heaven !


Gilmour have alot of Great solos.i cant name just few.

Eruption is soooooooooooooo overrated! i listed to that song so many times and found nothing great about it...

its not bad,you know...but i agree,its realy overrated.

 

[Dinsdale]

Don't forget Syd Barrett.

 

[V]

Now Syd is someone really overrated IMO.

My current favourite is probably Peter Green. The stuff he did with the original Fleetwood Mac is brilliant, too bad he ended up a junkie.

 

[Dinsdale]

How about this for a solo?

 

[Bozi]

personally i love the base in fleetwood mac's "the chain" such a great song
and the guy from arctic monkeys drumming (especially the kick arse start) in "the view from the afternoon" is pure quality

but for an all-round show stopper i have to go with all the elements of queens of the stone age's "no-one knows"

so you're saying he doesnt have feel???

@ SoulSiick: Nomad is a great track! both the distorted and acoustic solos are great!
