Top guitar solos

Well...i just thought up 10 solos i think are amazing

I probably should've voted for Hotel California - Eagles - Don Felder/Joe Walsh it just fits the song so perfectly

but holy damn...Neil Young is just one of the greatest guitarists ever...especailly shows it in this song, and ESPECIALLY on Rust Never Sleeps

 

I stand by Free bird.

 

the good ol' freebird never fails man...

p.s. neil young said "its better to burn out than to fade away"

 

voted Comfortably Numb but Cortez The Killer is my favorite song from that list,great choices :H

there should be an Allman Brothers song on the list ,"Blue Sky" or "Dreams" perhaps? or Duane Allman's solo on Clapton's Layla :sunglasse

 

yeah, i was thinking about putting Derek and the Dominoes - Layla on there, but i wanted to keep it diverse or else clapton would be on there like 2000 times

 

Texas Flood!

 

I have three unorthodox ones -

Money - Pink Floyd. Awesome feeling in that.
Seasons in the Abyss - Slayer - there's one note in there that sounds like an inhuman howl. It is literally the best note played on any instrument ever.
Neon Knights - Black Sabbath - Tony Iommi may be boring, but that solo fits the song perfectly and it's rather cool.

 

Stairway to Heaven easily, altho there is some great competition. I was tempted to pick All Along the Watchtower, but i would feel guilty.

 

and this bird youll never chain....freebird

 

stevie ray vaughn has the best recorded solos...... texas flood for sure, and his version of voodoo chile...... damn.

 

Why dont I see Jerry and Trey on this list!!!!


Oh I see. only popular music huh?

 

fuck you dude, these were the first solos that came to my head, plus they have been chosen by magazine and magazine again to be the top solos...so dont be telling me i only know mainstream shit...i hate that

 

shit I didnt mean to offend you man. I'm sorry. anyways theyre all great solos. but I voted for my main man allen collins.

 

Robert Fripp - "Baby's On Fire" (Brian Eno)

 

Funkadelic - "Maggot Brain"

 

it's so hard to pick up just one--I like while my guitar gently wheeps, highway star,but I'll choose All along the watchtower

 

Comfortably Numb if I had to choose one!

 

The Jimi Hendrix guitar solo following Purple Haze on the Woodstock album.I might stick it on the turntable right now.

 

After a lot of thinking I'll go for "All Along The Watchtower" and JIMI!!!

 

What about Eric Clapton's "Layla"??? That is the gretest guitar solo. But from the list I picked "Stairway To Heaven".
