Favorite Guitar Solos

Touch one to pick a favorite for.

I'll just pick Megadeth - Holy Wars.

I'm sure there are ones I like more but that's one that pops into my mind at the moment.

 

Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Fade To Black - Metallica
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Green Grass & High Tides - The Outlaws

 

You know, wouldn't it be decent if we had a music forum?

 

I was thinkin' the same thing. Maybe we could cry to our mods?


The Eruption BTW

 

Ain't Talkin' Bout Love - Van Halen
Home - Dream Theater

 

Queen- Princes of the Universe

 

Comfortably Numb-outro solo

 

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Back In The U.S.S.R. - The Beatles
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns 'N' Roses
Armageddon It - Def Leppard
Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream
While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles
Time Waits For No One - The Rolling Stones
All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry
For The Love Of God - Stevie Ray Vaughn
Layla - Eric Clapton (though Duane Allman played it)
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
You Really Got Me - The Kinks
Beat It - Michael Jackson (played by Eddie Van Halen)
Walk This Way - Aerosmith
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC / DC

Yeah these....

But i mean look at some of the guitarists on this list:

- Slash (GNR)
- Gilmour/Watters (Pink Floyd who i've both seen play incredibly).
- Angus Young (ACDC)
- Eric Clapton/Duane Allman (Allman played the Studio Album version of Layla but Clapton can do it just as well and is one of the greatest guitarists i've ever seen both with Cream and solo).
- Brian May (Queen)
- Joe Perry (Aerosmith)
- Pete Townshend (The Who)
- Eddie Van Halen
- Jimi Hendrix
- George Harrison (The Beatles)
- Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones)
- Stevie Ray Vaughn

So it's no real surprise.

I like The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides solo and i'd never even heard that song until i bought Rock Band.

One of my favorite solos is Joe Walsh's solo in Hotel California.

I also like the solo in Boston's "Piece of Mind" played by Barry Goudreau.

and how do you not like Skynyrd's guitars? Rossington and Gaines.

Also! NEIL YOUNG! COME ON PEOPLE!

 

Eruption solo by Van halen, hands down one of the best solos. well imo.


i love playing it on guitar.. sick ****.

 

i wish i could play guitar

i love listening to it so much but i'm musically challenged.

 

I love Gary and Steve... but the virtuoso was Allen. HE'S the one behind Freebird.

 

Collins too, i was just talking about Skynyrd in General though not just Freebird. I happen to love Sweet Home Alabama and Simple Man perhaps even more than Freebird.

 

Gimme Back My Bullets FTW...

 

Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
War Pigs - Black Sabbath

 

Randy Rhoads in Crazy Train i suppose is worth bringing up if we're going to put Black Sabbath (Ozzy's first claim to fame) on this list.

 

Hot for teacher- Van Halen

 

Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin
Dazed & Confused - Led Zeppelin

and quite a few others listed above

 

Estranged - Guns n Roses
Vodoo Chile (Slight Return) - Hendrix
Machine Gun - Hendrix
