Japhet Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I'm not a fan of the band or the music, but I always think of Richie Sambora's solo on Bon Jovi's Keep the Faith as the 'perfect' solo for the song. Just a very well crafted piece of music IMO. Solo starts at about 3.00. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZQyVUTcpM4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZQyVUTcpM4[/url] For sheer brilliance I'd go for Stevie Ray Vaughan; Riviera Paradise. I will NEVER get tired of hearing this. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVoDVyMY3m4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVoDVyMY3m4[/url]
FinnDave Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1364721792' post='2029926'] 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. [/quote] I was in the audience when Richard Thompson recorded for Radio 1 'In Concert' in 1981/2. Took me a few minutes to work out where the extra guitar was coming from, then spotted a familiar frizzy-haired tele player hiding at the back. Yup, Albert Lee and Richard Thompson on stage together in front of about 200 people.
the_skezz Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 A lot of Brian May's solos - not always the most exciting things but I struggle to think of a Queen song where the solo hasn't contributed and felt like an essential part of the song. Particularly Killer Queen and Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
Lynottfan Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 My fave Lizzy solos, being a bit of fan, I will take one from each of their guitarists. Eric Bell, The Rocker. Scott Gorham Dancing in the moonlight. Brian Robertson Dont believe a word. Gary Moore Toughest Street in town. Snowy White Killer on the loose. John Sykes Sun goes down.
mike 110 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 One of my faves is definitely is the solo at the end of Summer Breeze by the Isley Brothers ( Ernie Isley I think ) . Superb .
TonyBones Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 For me its two solos both in the same song with the bonus of a Bassman out front [url="http://youtu.be/TIS_g1L0IIw"]http://youtu.be/TIS_g1L0IIw[/url]
timmo Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) [media]http://youtu.be/foopZvhQRZw[/media] From about 3.30 to 8 mins.Hard to choose a favourite for me as it could have been virtually any song from Alvin Lee. Edited April 23, 2013 by timmo
Simmo Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Not to everybodies taste but I love this solo. Pantera - Floods, from the album The Great Southern Trendkill.

[/quote] Kyuss, to me, is perfect rock music My favourite guitar solo is John Frusciante's in Dani California. That tone!!
Fettsman Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 For my two pennorth, this always makes the hairs on my neck stand up! [url="http://youtu.be/EYhqjjUuhfI"]http://youtu.be/EYhqjjUuhfI[/url]
Lynottfan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Nice one, the late and certainly great James Honeyman-scott iirc had a bit of talent that boy, from just up the road in Hereford to.

Wilson_51_ Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I would have to put a Big +1 for Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, preferably the live version off of Pulse, it just has so much emotion to it!
EliasMooseblaster Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxgY9eEFiYM For those in a hurry to get to the point, skip to about 2.00. Worth listening through the build-up to it, though.
RichValentine Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Big fan of Warren Haynes and Govt Mule so both solos in this: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElrDolRpbIs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElrDolRpbIs[/url] Starts at 4:58 Edited July 22, 2013 by RichValentine
