What Are Some Of Your Favorite Solos? Let's Discuss!

[Bogner]

We all have solos that we absolutely love. What are they? List them up!

They don't have to be guitar solos either. They can be anything. GO!!!

 

[Bogner]

I love the keyboard solo to "Burn" One of my favorite solos of all time.

Mr. Corwley....Epic!

Tornado of Souls....FANTASTIC!

 

[sergiodeblanc]

This solo is the GOAT

Pure swagger and you can sing the whole thing (and have to).

Dawg… Marty is untouchable on that song!

Some good ones so far, but lets just be honest. Machine Gun on Band of Gypsys is THE greatest solo ever! And as many great ones as there are, this is IT!

Listen all the way through, but at the 4 minute mark, hang on. In the next 5 minutes of music, your life will be changed forever!

Pretty much anything by David Gilmour but especially the 2nd solo on Comfortably Numb on his Live at Pompeii album.

The solo in Are You Experienced makes me drop what I'm doing and listen like that dude on Seinfeld when Desperado is playing.

Every, time!!

That Sweet Child of Mine solo brought rock back in the late 80's. Its Gold!!!

 

[Tony M.]

This solo is the GOAT

Pure swagger and you can sing the whole thing (and have to).

This solo is also a lot more difficult to play correctly than it sounds like it would be.

 

[bodia]

Just about anything from Stevie Ray. I'd say Texas Flood or Tightrope. Of course, Alex Lifeson. LaVilla Strangiato gets my vote. Big fan of Michael Schenker....Rock Bottom, Armed and Ready, and Captain Nemo among my faves.

Ever seen this?

"Little Fighter" by White Lion...Vito Bratta...WOW.

 

[Bogner]

That Sweet Child of Mine solo brought rock back in the late 80's. Its Gold!!!

It definitely had its impact!

"Little Fighter" by White Lion...Vito Bratta...WOW.

His solos are awesome!

^^^^ THIS!

Some great ones so far!!!

I’ll never claim something subjective to be best, but the Zakk’s solo on “No More Tears” still gives me goosebumps. Comes out of that relaxed interlude and brings the energy back perfectly!

 

[Dirty_Boogie]

Too many to list, but this one gets me every time I hear it - Andy Summers' 10 seconds of pure genius... that solo comes out of left field, but somehow fits this song so perfectly:

FWIW:
The Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time

But, of course, we have far better taste than their voters (even though they did get the top one correct. Right @Brad Lawson?)
