leftybassman392 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 ... in which case I got it right. Problem is, us old farts tend to have more to choose from, so the notion of a 'favourite' becomes a bit harder to pin down 'cos there's so many to choose from. Oh no wait... I said that bit already.
Stance Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Far too many too mentions, but this one really stands out http://youtu.be/tDl3bdE3YQA And of course, imho G n´R "Sweet Child o´Mine"
BobVbass Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Ritchie Blackmore/Rainbow - , I Surrender - the solo at the end is beautiful.

Great little solo by Eddie too, not the greatest but it all fits so nicely. I heard this track in the car a few days ago and thought it does sound good [/quote]I think it is one of the greatest! It's f***in wild that solo. That's when i love ed the most when he's just killer aggresive and going for it!

Makes my spine tingle every time I hear it. Chezz55.
Wil Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 This lately. Anything by Television would be a contender, though! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4s5bj5fZO8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4s5bj5fZO8[/url]
LiamPodmore Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TcLuHBgtwQ It's an awesome song too. It's a guy over on TB's band that he posted a few years back. Either that, or November Rain. Liam
BILL POSTERS Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Albert Lee on Dave Edmunds' Sweet little Lisa. Come to that, anything by Alber Lee, such as Country Boy.

Highfox Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I like my guitar solo's pretty short and simple: A couple of my favs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgEA5AO-K3U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTFHXKVQJqc
Stacker Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Mick Ronson's on 'Moonage Daydream' on the Ziggy Stardust album.

mcnach Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 One of my all time favourite guitar solos must be the one on Thin Lizzy's "Dancing in the moonlight". It's not a difficult solo, which added more to it, as I was able to play it quite soon.... but it's just melodic and beautiful. Here, from around 2:03 [url="http://youtu.be/Unnh0T2Ftro"]http://youtu.be/Unnh0T2Ftro[/url]
ezbass Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 [quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1362065781' post='1995246'] Albert Lee on Dave Edmunds' Sweet little Lisa. Come to that, anything by Albert Lee, such as Country Boy. [/quote]Oh good call on AL. I remember seeing that documentary about Rockpile that that clip is taken from and doing the whole dropped jaw thing that Edmunds, Lowe, Lynott and Huey Lewis are doing. A truly original voice back then, copied a fair bit since, but never equalled. Another original voice on guitar, and one that I've not heard anyone copy, is Richard Thompson. A guy who really pushes the envelope in note choices, but who just makes it work.
Lasermonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Three spring to mind: there's the Posies' cover of Chris Bell's "I Am The Cosmos", Rain Parade's "A Broken Horse' and REM's "Floweres Of Guatemala ". All are simple, but fit the mood of the song perfectly. Generally, I'm not a fan of guitar solos though.
TommyK Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 [quote name='JeSuisSkeleton' timestamp='1351371691' post='1850672'] I really like John Frusciante's solos, especially on Stadium Arcadium. This is one of my favourites (2:47) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_mcplFhU6c[/media] Less is more! [/quote] +1 Frusciante just blows my mind with his "feel", he has got it in spades IMHO This is my fave: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrLSUNhH_5c"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrLSUNhH_5c[/url]

rubis Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 You have taste Mr McNach, you got me listening to Lizzy all day today......what about the 1st solo on the live version of Opium Trail........or all of the Black Rose song.........the solo at 2:30 is the same but I prefer the Live and Dangerous version with the lovely outro as well [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m33yq9UED_g"]http://www.youtube.com/watchv=m33yq9UED_g[/url] Or how about another of my live favourites.....Jeff Healey ........awesome player.......he sounds like he was wringing that guitars' neck at 1:16 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQwqSrPdwjQ[/media]

mike 110 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I don't know if it's my favourite , but I've loved Eight Line Poem from Bowies Hunky Dory album since I first heard it in 1973 . It's Mick Ronson at his absolute beautiful , tasteful best ....unfortunately I don't know how to upload any vid that there might be around ...if some kind soul could do the honours , I'd be eternally grateful ...plus you'd be doing a public service !

Jeff Healey! Good call! I have his first couple of albums and I love his vibrato, so very expressive. So much music, so little time!!!
