 Topic: Favourite Guitar Solos?Posted: May 13 2005 at 17:19 |

My prog memory banks are a little washed over at the moment, but of the
recent music I have pleasured my ears with I have to say that the solos
on pink floyd's- time, comfortably numb, and fletcher memorial home are
quite good. Also, I was impressed by the solo on porcupine tree's
radioactive toy, of course steve has numerous other good ones worth
mentioning. I would like other forum members to bring some stately ones
to the table. . .

I like a lot the Frank Zappa´s solo in the song Willie the pimp, album
Hot Rats. Steve Howe has also very good solos. For example in the
Ancient or in Mood for a day.

Allan Holdsworth's precise tour de force on Jack Bruce's Obsession (album: A Question Of Time), followed by Holdworth's solo for In The Dead OF Night (the first UK album - although it is clearly made up from at least two takes)

Okay, how about something a little different? I just bought Dave
Bainbridge: Veil of Gossamer, and Camel: Rajaz. Two excellent
recordings and the guitar playing is superb. And yes, there are
some terrific solos on them. And this is coming from a 31 year
unrepentant Steve Howe fan.

It's pretty hard to get much better than the guitar work on Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. |

Steve Howe.....his solos on "The Yes Album" are the most concise and accessible in the whole Yes catalog.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
