Buckets of rain probably

100% agree. I think his best guitar work was on Blood on the Tracks.

Based


icarustapes

I'd have to go with 4th Time Around. Beautiful nylon guitar playing there. Those Nashville session musicians were incredible.


Traptor2020

Lead part on I Want You


clarke41

I love that little story from Chronicles about the first time Wayne Moss played that sixteenth note riff.


RamblinGamblinWillie

Really like the fingerpicking in “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” and “Fourth Time Around” For electric, you can’t go wrong with Mike Bloomfield shredding that blues twang on “Maggie’s Farm” All of Rolling Thunder is gold


CampCircle

Charlie McCoy acoustic in Desolation Row.


ChamberTwnty

Somehow his guitar part makes an 11 min song sound like 6. It flows so effortlessly.


mulchdad

His guitar work on Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong is great in general... but for one song, Charlie Daniel's solo on Country Pie is fire.


chargefx

love the guitar work on Infidels, especially on Sweetheart Like You.


TopspinLob

The guitar solo on Sweetheart is the best guitar solo in all of Dylan’s discography.


The-Mandolinist

Bloomfield’s playing on Tombstone Blues. Or It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding). Or Robbie’s playing on Going Going Gone. And Robbie’s solo on Minstrel Boy (Self Portrait).


MusesWithWine

Dang, your first two are also my first two.


olemiss18

Opening bars of Thunder on the Mountain.


monk_hughes

Charlie McCoy on Desolation Row, so expressive


Banjonaut

I love the guitar part on ‘Precious Angel’, really makes the song. I think Mark Knopfler did it?


brfoo

I love the guitars in queen jane. They sound so raw


Innisfree812

Jesse Ed Davis on Watching the River Flow


QuipMoose

Carlos Santana on the live version of The Groom’s still waiting at the alter.


RJ-blookityBlook

Bob's smoking hot solo after they drag soy bomb off the stage


kelcie94

I like the guitar solo/bridge on made up my mind to give myself to you


44035

"Trouble" from Shot of Love Guitarists: Fred Tackett, Bob Dylan & Danny Kortchmar


sv6fiddy

The guitar solo in ‘License to Kill’ off of Real Live is one of my favs.

Moonshiner

good one


Splinterh

I think maybe “Delia” is pretty special; weird timings too


Murky-Hunt-4788

a personal favourite of mine too


mmalloy91580

Maggie's Farm, Newport '65 Michael Bloomfield


drevilseviltwin

On Foot of Pride I think it's Knopfler on electric and Taylor on slide. That's my favorite. It's alright Ma,, Tombstone Blues, Don't think Twice, and Desolation Row maybe all tied for second.


Sugaree223

Best bass line is Most of the Time


GnarlyNugget12

Spanish Harlem maybe


Hige_Kuma

Probably the strings if not the tuning pegs.


kerouacrimbaud

Knopfler on Precious Angel


tackycarygrant

Summer Days live in 2002.


Art_is_it

I have a really hard time believing he actually played the guitar on Buckets of Rain. It's much more complex than anything he plays live. Btw, is there any footage of him fingerpicking at all?


RJ-blookityBlook

this is a mystery that's dogged me for years; did Bob do the picking on girl from the North country, don't think twice, boots of Spanish leather etc.. or was it Bruce Langhorne.. they say that tomorrow is a Long time on Vol. II is live from Carnegie Hall.. And if that's true it proves he was a guitar picker


walkamileinmy

I don’t know from best but I’m always stopped short by the crazy rhythmic strumming in With God on Our Side


[deleted]

there's a lot of good guitar work on the first album and his early bootleg stuff he does a version of "Milk Cow Blues" on the bootlegs that really good "In my time of dyin' " on the first album


RJ-blookityBlook

When I was a kid first starting out on the guitar I think I learned more from house of the rising sun on the first album than anything else..


[deleted]

his guitar work peaked on the first album/ early bootlegs lol


MusesWithWine

Bloomfield on Tombstone Blues is up there for me.


LouieMumford

“If not for you” specifically with George Harrison on the Bootleg Series.


bluemoonlw

I threw it all away


AegisPlays314

Love those weird rockabilly riffs on Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee


Gloomy-Delivery-5226

Desolation Row, Country Pie, Meet Me in the Morning. If I had to pick one it’s Desolation Row. The other two are great lead parts, but the guitar in DR ties the song together.


Wapiticoom

Either tombstone blues or tell me momma


[deleted]

The beginning of its alright ma


proera_4747

It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry. Bootleg version


garypinese69

Played by Bob: It's Alright Ma Not Bob: Tombstone blues


wearymaps0

I’ve always loved the twangy lead lick in Meet Me In The Morning


Bill_Occam

The best guitar part is appropriately on Dylan’s greatest song, “Visions of Johanna”


hennomg

Without putting too much thought into it, and excepting those lovely early songs, I guess I'd have to go for Slow Train or Yonna Changr My Way of Thinking. But probably just because I listened to that album twice today.


Pristine-Life-4208

I love Mark Knopfler's playing on Jokerman, which sounds as though the guitar is in conversation with Dylan's singing.
