[asp integra]

ya i was thinking agian, so i decided to make another music related post, this time whats the top 3 guitar solos in a song

1 led zep stairway
2 lynard skynard free bird
3. G n' R sweetchild of mine


what about everyone else?

[dirty_magic]

Clapton- Layla, unplugged or original. I prefer the unplugged.

[Hakkola]

Does it count if the entire song is a guitar solo?

Yngwei Malmsteen (I'm sure I butchered his name) with one of his spanish guitar solos, I forget what it's called, probably simply "spanish guitar" but maybe not. It is the live version that is really good.

Van Halen - Eruption

[sxtasy]

Eagles - Hotel California (Hell Freezes Over version)

[statick]

Also, Tempest by Jesse Cook.

anything by Jimi Hendrix

[Roger Moore]

Do you feel like I do - Peter Frampton gotta love the old talk box in it. When he was really popular in the 70's using the talk box along with other bands such as Aerosmith people started making these devices on their own. Obviously a hand made apparatus that puts a feeds a current of electricity from your amp to your mouth is bad news, and as a result quite a few people where injured and im sure some killed.

If I had to pick my ultimate top 3, it would be:

1. Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child Slight Return (at Woodstock)
2. Jimi Hendrix - Red House (at Woodstock)
3. Jimi Hendrix - Johnny B. Goode (at Berkeley I believe)

Ya, if you want an album full of amazing solos, just grab the Hendrix Woodstock DVD (new remastered one just came out) and the 2 disc CD set. Every solo just flows perfectly, along with tons of hard to play (for me haha) techniques.

Now, if no Hendrix allowed:

1. Guns and Roses - November Rain Live (From their Live Era CD set).
2. Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (the one where Eric Clapton is playing)
3. Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
