 Topic: Best guitar solo
Posted: February 08 2006 at 21:42 |
So ... Choose your favourite solo! If it is not in there, vote for Other and state your favourite solo (I can only put 24 choices, so I won't cover all the great ones)
I choose: Achilles Last Stand. (both solos)
So much power!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing soloing.
Runners up: How many more times, Im gonna Crawl, and Firth of Fifth

I voted for Since I've been loving you. So much soul in this one. WOW!
Prog-speaking, I would probably choose Firth of fifth. This one was a very close runner up.

Out of this list I would have to go with Stairway to Heaven. It's kind of hard
to make a poll like this because there are so many choices. I can't even think
right now as to what my favorite all time solo is. There are so many
contenders.

ha ha lately, I have to go with Phil Millers tense, long guitar solos on "Squarer for Maude" by National Health, written by John Greaves. It is seriously cool.

I have a lot of favourite guitar solos. To name a few:
Steve Hackett's solo in "The Knife" from Genesis "Live"
Roman Bunka's solo in "Lost Scooters" from Aera "Live".
Roman Bunka's solo at the end of "Heartbeat" from his album "Dein Kopf ist ein Schlafendes Auto".
The 2nd giutar solo in "Transylvania Express" from Guru Guru "Live", played by either Roland Schaeffer or Dieter Bornschlegel (my guess is Bornschlegel, but they both played lead guitar).
The guitar of Manuel Göttsching in Ash Ra Tempel's "Freakn' Roll" from their album Join Inn.
And so many more....

From that list "Firth of Fifth" but my real favourite solo are either
"Edguy - Pharaoh (live)" or "Ayreon - Dawn of a Million Souls" or "Symphony X - Masquerade 98"!

And Christian`s Vidal Variaciòn alegre?
And Zappa`s Muffin man?
and Kyrie Aleison of Eeela Creig?
And La poderosa Muerte, of Los Jaivas, with this powerful Autoctone feeling?

well a solo that has it all and is one of most varied solos i've ever heard is petrucci's under a glass moon solo i mean it has pentatonics, tapping, sliding, legato, sweeping, half step bends, full step bends
but for my favorite its between then ending solo of Octavarium or the solo in Glasgow Kiss both by Mr. Petrucci and I also love both solos by Akerfeldt in Windowpane simple but beautiful

Two come to mind immediately.
Agualung has a very good guitar solo - & I've always liked it.
Not Prog, but Too Many People by Paul McCartney also has a very good guitar solo.

You've included Purple but not my favourite solo, which is the one in "Highway Star" (studio version). It's not the fastest or anything, I just like it, particularly the harmonies.
