Guitar solos that speak to you

Admitedly...at times. But, I'm always willing to listen to other stuff.:up:


How about Kenny Wayne Shephards "Ledbetter heights"

 

Duane Allman on Boz Scaggs Loan me a Dime

SRV - Riveria Paradise

Jimi / SRV - Little Wing

Jimi - Red House (already listed but is just that good)

BB King live stuff - His tremolo speaks volumes without a bunch of flashiness

 

Damn. haven't heard that in a while. Good stuff.:up:

 

Gary Moore's version from Fenders 50th anniversary show

 

Oh gawd, most of this crap was on oldies radio 20 years ago and I hated it then. There's a few good songs listed but most of it is one step away from blasting out all mono in an elevator.

CRAP!

 

Alright Dave, let's hear your top 3 songs if you're stuck on an elevator

 

Marty Friedman (Megadeth) - Almost Honest
Gilby Clark (Kill for Thrills) - Ghost and Monsters
Mick Mars (Motley Crue) - Saint of Los Angeles
Gary Hoey - Wipe Out / Linus and Lucy

 

Interesting list. I'm going to check out the 'Gilby Clark' mention.

 

He is an amazing talent.

 

The first three solos that came to my mind are below, but I love guitar solos in general

Pantera - Drag The waters (Dimebag Darrell was the man on the guitar)

Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath (Flute solos FTW!!! hahaha, does this count? Seriously though, I love this song.)

Metallica - Master of Puppets (I love how melodic this one is, but Metallica solos are usually pretty good)

 

Like a Lay's tater chip... can't have just one. Here's some that instantly pop into my mind:

Duane Allman- Elizabeth Reed
Mark Knopfler- Sultans of Swing
David Gilmour- Time
Jimi Hendrix- Little Wing




Oh, and just about any pedal steel solo by Robert Randolph will make me get up and do the hippie dance.

 

I could do that with a .22 revolver. I can also make you stop dancing with that.

 

I said that JUST for you.

 

Anything Jimi.

Bold as love, Little Wing, Red House, Hey Baby, etc...

Lots of Zeppelin. Jimmy Paige may not be the smoothest guitar play ever, but I can't not whip out the air guitar when he's wailing on "Since I've been loving you" or "the Ocean".

Pink Floyd. "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" if I have to pick only one.

The Duo-tones "Walk, Don't Run"

I love BB too, but I don't consider him to be a great soloist. He uses a lot of the same tricks and progressions over and over.

John Mayer "Gravity" (skip to 6:00 in the live version if you can't take all the crooning lol )

Clapton "Sinner's Prayer"


Yea, I listen to a lot of blues... Most of it older than I am.

 

Pretty much anything that comes out when Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks get together...

 

David Gilmour, Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb, live Pulse album.

 

You sir, have great taste in music!

Kenny Wayne Shepherd...solo in the middle of "Blue on Black"

 

Yep.:up:

 

Shake a leg - Young AC/DC. Forgot that one.

 

Damn. I haven't heard that in ages. Good reminder.:up:
