Best Guitar solO!

[James Deuce]

Hahahah... where do I start!

Buddy Rich, Hellhammer (Jan Axel Bloemburg), Tony Lorenzo, Mike Portnoy, of course DENNIS CHAMBERS has to be on the list , Vinnie Colaiuta... etc etc.

Many more but I cannot remember them at this time of the night.

Go start a thread I reckon... I'm sadly off topic as it is. (sorry)

I've seen Dennis Chambers on two continents and here in NZ and he's a horrible soloist. Uninvolving, uninspired, and deeply aware of his own "stature" within the drumming community. Steve Smith on the other hand is humble, clever, and profoundly good in both a solo setting or group environment.

Stop apologising. Drummers are far better people and musicians than bloody guitar weenies. Just trying to keep things off topic.

[What?]

Duo's then? Early Wishbone Ash were straight blues,good stuff,but got more refined later.Argus is a classic album,the cover one of the best - but the twin guitar solos were mesmerising....interweaving in and out,you never knew who was playing what.

Geez Motu - you must be really old!! (Like me...)
How about Carlos Alomar playing with David Bowie - Width of a Circle (David Live at Tower Philadelphia). Sounds like every note came from the depths of his soul. Awesome stuff.

Without a doubt for me it's the solo in "Sympathy For The Devil" by The Stones.
Clever virtuosity with lots of notes can be impressive but using just enough, but not too many, notes is even better.

[awd]

Gotta add Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways, the live version with Phil Lynott from '85. Twelve minutes of extacy!

[Coyote]

Scary thing is I'm 21 and I know this stuff.

I'm 15 and know this stuff

Children of Bodom have good solos in their songs. I don't think they have a song without one do they?

Tom Petty
Joe Walsh
Rodger Hodson (Supertramp)
Duane Allman - was placed second on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, behind Jimi Hendrix.

Oh yeah - forgot about them, which is dumb, seeing as I've got or have had albums by these guys.

Awesome album, that. Used to have it, but gave it away when I went all religious. I've been looking for a copy on CD, but it's not easy to find (except for a high price, on the Interdweeb..)

I saw Split Enz in Tauranga before they released their first album, 'Mental Notes'!!

Another highly under rated guitar player is Frank Zappa - just because he doesn't follow the rules doesn't mean he's not any good,he's a very,very,very good guitar man.

Without a doubt, hands down


Joe Satriani - Take your pick from so many, but my current fav is "Flying in a Blue Dream" although "cool # 9" rocks!"

Stifarms and I went to see him play live at St James just recently and nothing will ever compare to this concert.

I just wanna watch him play live again.....

Joe Walsh doesn't follow the rules either- I'm told he plays using just his thumb as a pick

Was.

I like his comments in my guitar book: "The electric guitar is the single most blasphemous instrument ever made..."

Heaps of good stuff...too much to name.
Try Ted Nugent's - Sranglehold and tell me that isn't one brilliant bit of music. Even you young pups should like it.
Satriani - Cool #9
Vai
Buchanan
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Santana

Have you heard G3 (satch, vai & johnson) play their rendition of Zappa's "guitar wants to kill ya mama"?

No, but sounds like I'd want to

How embarrassing, I am sitting at my desk with the Biggest Grin you have ever seen just thinking about listenting to it, the best thing about it (I think) is that Steve Vai's guitarist sidekick - damn can't remember his name - he sings and it rocks....
