Favourite Guitar Solo

[binnie]

Slash- Sweet Child O Mine

I know it's overplayed, but that solo is trult outstanding!

[bueno bob]

Dokken/George Lynch - Mr. Scary

Anything by Tony Iommi...

Most everything from Billy Gibbons...

Everything from Yngwie Malmsteen...say...1981 to 1996...and a few things thereafter...

Kirk's solo at the end of Hit the Lights...

Jake E Lee on Bark at the Moon...

Everything from the first two Racer X albums, Paul Gilbert...

Everything from the first two Tony MacAlpine albums...

Every fucking guitar break Criss Oliva ever took...he has the ultimate distinction of having NEVER made any mistake or poor choice of note/chord/progression through his whole fucking life...

Dave Chandler (Saint Vitus/Debris Inc.) and Buzz Osbourne (The Melvins) tie with their material...they're nowhere near soloists, per se, but they absolutely kick ass in whatever passes for their solo breaks...

Anything either Jason or Marty did on the Cacophony albums...

Alex Skolnik - anything on the first four or five Testament albums...

Steve Howe - COULD overplay everything, but DOESN'T...and that's the most telling aspect of his playing right there...either Asia or Yes...

All of Jase Edwards' work on the first two Wolfsbane albums...the kid would have been LEGENDARY ten years earlier...damn shame...

Jeff Waters...Crystal Ann...first song off the first Annihilator album...and pretty much all of his playing on the first two Annihilator albums is fucking righteous...

Don Dokken's solo on the original version of "Felony" (NOT the one on the Breaking the Chains LP...the one on that "Back in the Streets" bootleg when Don was 3/4ths of the band, playing guitar, bass and singing - very buttrock but very cool, anyway)...

I heard a bootleg of Phil Anselmo doing a guitar solo live that was...unspeakably good...unreal...

ALL of Tommy Vetterli's solos from the Coroner albums (AFTER "Punishment for Decadence"...after that album, the "spiraling solos" took a back seat to more thought-out playing)...

Off the top of my head, anyway...

I've got a few:

1. Mr. Scary (Who doesn't like George Lynch?)
2. Miracle Man (Young Zakk is the best)
3. Tears of Sahara-Tony MacAlpine (This guy is amazing)
4. Way Cool Jr. (Warren DeMartini is great)
5. Family Ghost (Andy LaRocque is stupid good!)

[binnie]

Holy shit Bob, Cacophany, havn't heard them in years.

Hell I'm gonna dig my vinyl out tommorrow and crank it up.

Good call.

Some interesting choices there Bob/Mako

"Machine gun" by Jimi Hendrix from "Band of gypsies".

Also the one at the end of "Tonight" by Ozzy, played by Randy Rhoads, sprung to mind as that`s also one I love to listen to. It isn`t structured at all and sounds like he`s just winging it but it is amazing.

Agreed on Machine Gun.

Ozzy has said Diary was kind of rushed, and I can hear it on the outro to Tonight, where RR kinda starts to fizzle out as the song fades, then bursts into a flurry of notes - it almost sounds like a first pass at a solo that was recorded and ended up being kept.

Favourite, eh? Well, I guess my favorite all time solos - I mean the ones that sound really grate to me, nevermind if they are or not original, technically perfect and fuileed with soul - are, in this particular order:

1. The end solo for 'Let It Rock', on the Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band's Nine Tonight live album. I don't know, it's just dead on! Complements one badass Chuck Berry's medley perfectly. This is also my all time favorite live albums. It's awesome!

2. Vai's solo on 'Ladies Night in Buffalo'. Shit, that thing is out of this world, absolutely brilliant.

3. Ross the Boss's solo on Manowar's 'Hail and Kill'. THE Heavy Metal solo. Perfect.

Cheers! :bottle:

Angus' "Riff Raff" solo on IYWBYGI......too many others to mention.

[Panamark]

The one solo that always amazes me is Jimmy Page in "Stairway to Heaven". The feel he gets out of a very basic scale, is incredible.
