Post your favorite guitar solo

[410440]

I searched but could not find.


Post your favorite rif/solo - the kind that gives you that little shiver when you hear it.


I really like the little rif Disturbed has in "Another way to die"

Gunslinger - A7x also pretty sweet (actually i enjoy all of A7X guitar work)

Should add the obligatorys:

Metallica - one, fade to black (disturbed had a cool live version of this from music as a weapon tour) , nothing else matters
Ozzy - Mr Crowley
GnR - November Rain, Cival War
Pantera - Cemetary Gates
Dream Theatre - Forsaken
Yngwie Malmstein - lots of songs

4 neck guitar solo, you gotta watch it. Funny and awesome at the same time.

[coal_troll]

Oh man... Santana and EVH just made my whole day, Santana is pure magic... Let's not forget Billy Gibbons/ZZ Top's "I wanna drive you home"...

Thanks Graham for the clarification on embedding!

[swak]

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (on their Pulse Tour)

.... GOOODDDLYY SOLO.

[410440]

awsome. How to hell do you embed youtube vids?

[Graham_A_M]

HOW TO EMBED VIDS:
such as in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYlx5gW90Aw
each Youtube video will have a " aYlx5gW90Aw "
at the end of it. Copy that, now in the advanced mode; you just click on the "Youtube" button and inject that copied blurb of letters & numbers into it, and thats that. Done.

here is the end result

Surprised no one posted this yet...

Eagles - Hotel California @ 4:21

Also, I agree with Mr. Crowley 1000%. Here's a pretty good take on it:

eg7i1-zPX68

The description is hilarious:

I play "Mr. Crowley" on guitar in order to let METAL be popular.

Broderick is better than Loomis, but since he's playing for Loomis's band in his vid he has to let him "win" :rofl:

YES

[core_upt]

also this: my solos are my trademark

That solo that starts at 7:09 is just scorching.

But my all time favorite Jerry solo...
vsKOXDUh2Y0

Starts at around 8:10. You just can't beat that gradual crescendo. I still get chills when listening to it. Jerry is pretty darn underrated as a guitarist. I never see him mentioned whenever people talk about their favorites, unless they're a deadhead, haha...

[CUG]

ZdXfkkyI1nQ

You'd be pressed to hear cowbell in this version. I hate that this song got ruined by that.

2:20 is where the solo starts.

[Horatio]

notr the original video but this is interesting:

dlPjxz4LGak&feature=related

really gotta learn to play guitar.

[V6-BoI]

This guy isn't famous or anything, but he played the Double Dragon mission 1 theme on his guitar which I thought was pretty killer. Especially at around 1:30 - 1:50

Whoever posted Loomis has some pretty good taste! He rips.


I'm gonna go against the norm here and put something up that isn't extraordinarily mainstream.

And this just cause it's hilarious, but also awesome.

YES

I saw Broderick live wih Jag panzer back in 98/99 and I can tell you that that guy has awesome stage presence. I was ready to go gay for him right then and there, but unfortunately nothing came out of it. Instead I ended up chatting wirh Harry "the Tyrant" Conklin after the show, whom I wasn't interested in making out with.

[Hakkola]

No Malmsteen? I'll add some tomorrow maybe, for now here's some electric acoustic.

To many, I go through music like crazy.

I'm into something for a month or two and move on.

All exclusively metal though. SO many genres and sub-genres it's Impossible to hear even a portion of it lol.

Really? Cause at the 7:00 minute mark is the scene that made me first want to start jumping through wedding cakes.

Ding Ding Ding winner!

I slaved away for like 2 years trying to learn this.

I recorded a version and put it on Newgrounds... here it is. I was like in grade 11.

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/87649

lol recorded with that mic that came with computers in the 90's.... awesome.

[TimG]

This is possibly on of the best solos I've ever heard.

[msommers]

My god there are some amazing solos in here since I last checked. I'm also pleased to see there aren't just a bunch of videos of guys shredding at 90mph.

Makes me wanna pick up an electric again :banghead: :rofl:

[btimbit]

Not the most technical, but this has given me shivers since it came out

[Neil4Speed]

Thank you Vagabond! I have been listening to Sultans multiple times a day for the last month. The solo has so much feel and emotion to it.

Telegraph Road is another one of my favorites.
Starts around 6 Minute Mark
ript5JqSWb8

Always by Bon Jovi solo was very good, Sambora is a solid guitarist.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

I don't think I could ever come up with one "favorite" but on solo that blew me away from the very first time I heard it was the one in Jeff beck's Guitar Shop. So different from everybody else.
