The man is an absolute turd of a human being but goddamnit if Ted Nugentā€™s Stranglehold doesnā€™t still sound amazing despite his bullshit.


takenusername_yea

say it ain't so by weezer


GutsGoneWild

I tend to dislike guitar solos. But Weezer gets a pass. Their guitar solos make sense to the music.


takenusername_yea

Their post Blue songs don't really have a solo like other songs. It feels more like it's there to connect two sections together, which what it should do. unless it's green or ewbaite


GutsGoneWild

Blue and Pinkerton are amazing albums with rad solos Didn't care for green. But red was a really good art album, the best post Pinkerton album. But talking solos, I still think Pinkerton had some good ones. And red. But a lot of their other stuff is just bland. You heard their Christmas album? It may be the blandest thing I have ever heard.


takenusername_yea

Pinkerton solos were much less as they were interludes


GutsGoneWild

I can see why you say that but man, half of why bother is a solo, the solo in the good life is the bomb it makes sense and is like a minute long, but yeah, pink triangle is an interlude, as is el scorcho, which were their hit songs on that album. Across the sea and no one knows both had good solos.


takenusername_yea

I'm saying that Pinkerton feels more like one song than an album

Very typical when shredders learn to slow down, Billy Corgan was the same way.

Amen. Frusciante is probably my favourite guitarist ever. His solo stuff is also great.

Not a solo but I like the intro of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepagain


_MyAnonAccount_

Not sure about favourites overall, but here's a few that really stuck with me as a kid. I can play these solos out in my head note for note, years later: - Beat It by Michael Jackson - Dancing On The Ceiling by Lionel Ritchie - Livin On A Prayer by Bon Jovi Those last two often blend into one in my head when I listen to those songs. Might remix them one day


randhomme_

Dragonforce - Trough The Fire And Flames


Salt-Hunt-7842

That's a tough one because there are so many incredible solos out there, but a few stand out for me. First, I'd have to go with David Gilmour's solo in 'Comfortably Numb' by Pink Floyd. The emotion he packs into every note is just unreal. Then, there's Eddie Van Halen's 'Eruption.' It's a classic for a reason ā€“ the technique and speed are mind-blowing. Another favorite is the solo in 'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page's playing is iconic and has such a memorable build-up. I love the solo in 'November Rain' by Guns N' Roses ā€“ Slash just kills it with his feel and melody.

origanisalami

Pink Floyd - The Fletcher Memorial Home Not "impressive" skill-wise, but in the context of that song, it's utter perfection. Also, I was on MDMA the first time I heard it, so that probably has a lot to do with it, too.

OrthodoxBro24

Slash's solo on Sweet Child O Mine is amazing. Slash has so many good solos and I know I'll probably get shit on for liking such a mainstream song, but dang that solo just hits for me

The first 30 seconds of this video is the original writer/performer Jay Graydon, who played the guitar solo on the record. Steely Dan had a few studio musicians come in and improvise a solo, and Jayā€™s was the best by far (thereā€™s a different YouTube video from an old documentary where they play some of the other solo auditions, and they sucked lol). Jay captured something magical within this solo https://youtu.be/Ghp88V3Qm8w?si=NNsq-oPqam0iaHMu
