best solo ever

ime a huge guitar solo fan but in this era of music the guitarists are so boring and they dont do anything interesting. thats why i stick to classic rock. i was wondering whats your fav guitar solo, mine are stairway to heaven by led zeppelin, and sweet child o mine by guns n roses. whats urs?

 

I really can't choose! Some of Jimi's and Quicksilvers jams are among my favourites though. I love it when the guitar just goes on and on. But to me it's how it's combined with the other instruments what makes it really great. So I guess I just forget which songs contains my favourite solo's
I really love the guitar part in 20 buck spin of Pentagram, superb 70's rock, though I wouldn't call it my favourite. Black Sabbath - Warning is also among my favourites for sure!
I don't agree about nowadays guitarists are all boring though, are you aware of the first two albums of the Atomic Bitchwax for example? Their selftitled debut is full of intense guitarsolo's! Greenleaf - Revolution rock? Nebula - Smokin woman? Something pretty different but you can't diss what you don't know: Datura - Visions for the celestial? Dead Meadow - Shivering king has some awesome bluesy guitarwork. I could go on, but maybe you did indeed heard this stuff and just didn't like it

 

Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan would be one of my favorite solos.

If you think music is boring nowadays I suggest you look into some early Dream Theater (recent stuff's good but much heavier) I suggest the album Awake. Also there's Liquid Tension Experiment wich is kind of a progressive Hard Rock. I suggest the second album. If you like good solos and rockin' riffs you'll be served.

 

Planet caravan, sublime song indeed! We sail through endless skies

Haha, I guess recommending bands isn't always the right way to convince a music fan who has no hope in todays music. Those two you mentioned aren't of my liking at all!

 

thanks so much guy. ive been listening to ur suggestions and its not really my style but hey thanks for the reply.

 

my top favorites would have to be (in no particular order)

red house - Hendrix
shouldn't have took more than you gave - Dave Manson
Alive - Pearl Jam
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Samba Pa Ti - Santana
Dark Star - Gratefull Dead
Loan Me a Dime - Allman brothers Band

 

thanks alot but still not my style. ime more into hendrix and 80's kinda rock.

 

Free Bird...Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

i love that solo, what is it like 4 min? lol

 

lol i'm not sure...their live versions are longer

 

what!! no way thats sick, ime gonna go youtube that right now.

 

Steppenwolf- Magic Carpet Ride, definitely a trip.

 

Try "Don't Step On The Grass, Sam" or "The Pusher"

Both better songs by the same artist.

 

any of Garcia's his sound really cool because they are but the q tron helps

 

I love both of those songs, have them on CD, I like "Don't Step On The Grass, Sam" more though. But fact is, "Magic Carpet Ride" is a big trip itself.
