Ponzini Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Keith Richards and Mick Taylor on the extended version of Sympathy for the Devil, from Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out (1970), which is possibly the best ever live album - certainly the Stones at their best.

Thank god the title of the thread said "favorite" instead of best...because I would not put the RS guitar players on the top 1000 all time best.

gertlush Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Are there any entries post the v-shaped guitar/spandex era? Surely to god someone has released an album with a decent guitar solo since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hafilax Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Neil Young: Cinnamon Girl- The ultimate anti-solo. Brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheamclimber Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 I like playing the tapping solo in Eruption too, thats another classic, a good one to play is Crazy Train too, it sounds cool but is pretty easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Uli Roth - Scorpions - Sails of Charon. Also, Polar Nights is a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Pink Floyd - the last two minutes of Comfortably Numb. Especially the final 30 seconds. And the first minute and a half of The Division Bell's Coming Back to Life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dechristo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 There are SO many, but, right now what comes to mind: Larry Carlton - Third World Man by Steely Dan Jimi Hendrix - (so many, but) Voodoo Chile Al DiMeola - (lots of solos when with) Return To Forever John McGlauthlin(sp?) - Mahavishnu Orchestra A bunch of stuff Harrison did with the Beatles (I forget who played it) - Don't take Me Alive by Steely Dan almost any list would be vastly incomplete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Lindsay Buckingham's live solo in I'm So Afraid. Very similar to comfortably numb in intensity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hendrix Born Under A Bad Sign Pretty much the whole 7:38 is a guitar solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Are there any entries post the v-shaped guitar/spandex era? Surely to god someone has released an album with a decent guitar solo since then. Kenny Wayne Shepherd's While We Cry on Ledbetter Heights. Speaking of Ledbetter, there's Mike McCready's short but sweet Yellow Ledbetter lick on Lost Dogs. One of these might fit the bill...

kevbone Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Michael Jackson's "Beat it" solo by Eddie. For 1983 that is way ahead of its time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 WfGspqkFN9s Michael Hedges. All the YouTube sound quality sucks to show off his ability. Saw him in Boston in, oh, maybe 1990. Amazing acoustic performance. Had the poor bastards from the Berklee College of Music realizing they had just been presented with the height of the bar and that they were unworthy. Also saw SRV back in like 1988 or 1989 at a Paramount Theater sized place (can't remember the name). I was stuck on Al Dimeola back in his Return to Forever days and even saw them live in Chicago but haven't listened to that jizz for a long long time.
