Guitar solos that speak to you

You ever heard a song that has a guitar solo in it that says something to you? You know, where the solo fits the song perfectly, and it keeps you hooked, whether or not you even like the song? I'm a chump for a good guitar solo. It really doesn't even matter the genre of the music. Here's some that I think fit their songs well:

My favorite: "Practice what you preach" by Testament

The dual guitar solo if "Freebird"

The solo in "One" by Metallica

Dire Straights "Sultan of swing"

"Flirtin with disaster" by Molly Hatchett


Y'all?

 

Crossfire: SRV
November Rain: Slash/GNR
Love Song: Frank Hannon/Tesla

 

Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot

 

The portion about in the midddle of La Villa Strangiato when it gets quiet and Lifeson plays. Puts the hair up on my neck everytime.

Like you said, it speaks to me.

 

Since "Back in Black" is the greatest rock song of all time then Angus Young's solo must the be greatest also.

 

Guitar solo by Poisons' CC Deville on the Swallow This Live Album. He also plays some variation of it at thier concerts.

 

Angus working a slow, low run on AC/DCs "Ride On"
Just about everything Billy Gibbons does.

 

So mainstream shit sucks....... Johhny A.----Anything

 

"Sweet Child O'Mine" by Slash.

 

I don't like long, drawn out solos. It's some clod masturbating via his electric twanger 99% of the time.

 

Little Wing-SRV

/thread.

 

Kim Thayil's solo on Soundgarden's "Just Like Suicide"

and countless others from many genre...

 

If I have to narrow it down to one, it's Metallica's 'Orion'. :up:

 

Duane Allman. Pick one.

 

Mr Crowley(both solos)-Ozzy/Randy RIP

 

David Gilmore.....pick any of em..

Jimi Hendrix......Red House

 

Zappa

"Watermelon in Easter Hay"

or pretty much all of "Hot Rats"

 

Awesome stuff y'all. Looks like I'm gonna have to do some listening.



How about the dual solo in "Hotel California".

 

There are better solos out there...

 

Metal, you need to expand your horizons there a bit....you are way too mainstream.

Along with some old Zappa (who I used to hate) try:

East/West by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band or

Little Johnny Jewel by Television

Sign up for Spotify...it's free and you can plug most any group and listen to most of their library.

Speaking of that, old Pink Floyd will blow your mind (the Syd years): The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
