Most Awesome Guitar Solos Ever

**BeN5150** · 03-15-2007, 11:27 PM

Everyone, post what you feel would be one of the/the greatest guitar solo's ever.

I'm gonna go with...

Long Way To Love - Britny Fox

that solo is just TASTY!

but they look alittle, shall we say..."Fruity?"

**lefthandedshredder** · 03-16-2007, 12:36 AM

This is very funny, because I just dug out my Britny Fox LP and listened to that song and thought 'man this is a good solo'

Maybe you're telepathic or somesuch.

**kurenai** · 03-16-2007, 12:47 AM

I doubt anyone knows these boys. One of my favorite bands for sure. There is a decent solo in every song. i just picked any song because they are all good.

Loudness - Like Hell
Lead guitarist - Akira Takasaki

enjoy:

And here is another one. their later days when Mike Vescara was the singer.
Another rocking song with a good solo.

**juancho142** · 03-16-2007, 01:07 AM

Well... You can`t choose just ONE solo... there are so many musical works of art in the business...
Here are my top 10 favorites:

-ERUPTION (Just to name 1) - Edward Van Halen
-CRAZY TRAIN - Randy Rhoads
-WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE - Richie Sambora
-HERE I GO AGAIN / IS THIS LOVE - John Sykes
-IN MY DREAMS - George Lynch
-BIG TROUBLE- Steve Vai
-CEMENTERY GATES - Dimebag Darrell
-ALIVE AND KICKING - Paul Gilbert
-A LIL` AIN`T ENOUGH - Jason Becker
-NO MORE TEARS - Zakk Wylde

Hey Kurenai, a lot of guys here actually know and love Loudness, including myself!

**slashrox** · 03-16-2007, 01:22 AM

Eruption - Eddie Van Halen
Bad Medicine - Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi)
Cherry Pie & I saw red - Warrant
Bohemian Rhapsody - Brian May (Queen)
You Got Nothing I want - Ian Moss (Cold Chisel)
Enter Sandman - Kirk Hammet - (Metallica)
Dirty Little Thing - Slash (Velvet Revolver)
November Rain - Slash (GNR)

I get shivers down my spine everytime I hear the last part of the November Rain Guitar Solo, I've been trying to learn that and get it right, Just can't nail it yet though.

Yeah, this forum.

Cherry Pie solo???? That has to be one of the worst hard rock solos ever, period. I think it was C.C. Deville that recorded it, either way it was even in Total Guitar's top 10 worst solos ever

**Tone?** · 03-16-2007, 04:52 AM

Too bad for that great song that Axl wrote that he had a guitarist with broken fingers to play.

Sorry but i think that Slash is a crappy guitarist. He had a couple cool ideas with some songs like the intro to sweet child o mine but he sucks as a guitar player.

his intonation sucks ass.

**atomicholiday** · 03-16-2007, 04:54 AM

I know this is an obvious one, but the solo for Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb' still gives me chills (as do alot of Gilmours leads).
And here's another big Loudness fan!

"Foat Wayne Indiana, are you weady to wock and woll??? Wock and Woll Cwazy Nights!!!!"

I said Cherry Pie because its one of the guitar solos I "Can't really do yet" :happy1

**lefthandedshredder** · 03-16-2007, 05:44 AM

"Foat Wayne Indiana, are you weady to wock and woll??? Wock and Woll Cwazy Nights!!!!"

Thats the shit right there! 'Wun for your wife, wun fwom the pire'

Sweet child o' mine, cool intro riff right? Well the story goes that he was running through some warm up exercises in a book and the rest of the band said 'hey that sounds pretty cool' Izzy added some chords over it and voila! the song was born. Well or so I read. Slash is ok, but he's SOOOO overrated!!!! He has the most awesome image though, and the fact he is still musically relevant today does say something.

**lefthandedshredder** · 03-16-2007, 05:46 AM

Oh by the way, Ben, I'm an accquaintance of Billy Child's...so any bass questions you have... Haha.

**KramerUK** · 03-16-2007, 06:10 AM

I'm close to you there with Floyd Jeremy.
But I was going to say just go listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and not just the parts they play live but the whole thing, its not fast and its not super technical.
But that is seriously a guitarist at his most creative

**kurenai** · 03-16-2007, 06:46 AM

the thing about slash is. he aint a tapper, he aint a speed freak. but what he does have is melody.

comeone i dont think anyone can say that the solo for sweet child of mine, november rain, out ta get me etc are bad. slash is a fantastic bender, sounds simple but its not.

Why do you think Slash is a crappy guitarist? sure, he aint EVH, he doesn't do any tapping, but his bluesy style playing is awesome, he has feel & melody in his guitar riffs. Also has an awesome tone.

**ShredisLife** · 03-16-2007, 08:27 AM

One of the tastiest guitar solos ever, (in a monster ballad type song) is "Walk Away" by Dokken. Lynch can bring you to your knees on that one.

I'm chillin' right now thinking of it. My favorite, bar none.

**KramerGeek** · 03-16-2007, 08:35 AM

Alvin Lee's solo in 'I'm Comin Home' recorded at Woodstock gets my vote of approval.

A man who was way ahead of his time and in a league of his own.

**unchained1984** · 03-16-2007, 08:42 AM

-Eruption
-Mr Scary
-Freebird

i can't split the above three I'm afraid.
Kurenai man I have to say Kyogi Yamamoto in Vow Wow has always been killer they were bigger in the UK than Loudness.

Sandy

**Bluesman001** · 03-16-2007, 09:48 AM

The GREATEST solo of all time, the one that lasts 5 minutes or more:

F R E E B I R D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, would have to nominate pretty much anything by Satch, and Texas Flood by SRV!!!

And Kurenai, Lefthandedshredder was speaking the truth, I totally love Loudness. My favorite record was Soldier of Fortune. But thier other stuff was just as good!!!!

Loudnes Kicks ass!!!

The intro in Ashes to the sky is awesome(not akira´s solo, i mean the clean guitar playing the chords of the song). Akira is an awesome shredder, and crazy nights is kinda like the ultimate 80´s metal riff, kicks ass.
BTW, akira used Voyaguer shaped axes? esp`s?
i dunno but those are pretty cool

**juancho142** · 03-16-2007, 10:11 AM

I realize that no one yet mentioned stairway to heaven... sure not great speed or technique but... undoubtly one of the best solos.
Pat, i`m with you with coming home by alvin lee...
blew my head off

**amerturk** · 03-16-2007, 10:32 AM

Sorry Ben, but that song sucked. I can see why they were unknowns here in North America. Man dude, that was just all around bad. It was almost commical to watch.

BTW Ben, you can play better than that guitarist anyday. I'm still waiting for Canada's last shredder to hit the scene.
