best guitar solo? - Page 5

nobody special · 15th October 2002, 01:13 PM

The best guitar solo none of you have ever heard (and I would probably even put money on it)
Phil Keaggy: "full circle" from the LP "Town To Town"
Short but sweet.
Also a lot of good stuff on the LP "emerging". Very jazz influenced.

Also, other good stuff-

Of course, SRV, Hendrix... those are no-brainers, really.
I have to cast my vote for Saturday Night in San Francisco, as has already been mentioned.
So many others I can't remember right now.

oh, and I forgot...
anyone into blues- check out "indigenous"
The guy rips! (although he sounds a little tooooooooooo much like SRV, Hendrix, etc. -starts to sound like a parody at times) I believe they have mp3's at mp3.com

ON my Prince "Sexy MF" maxi single there is a short but outstanding electric guitar solo. It is played by Prince himself? the guy is reputed to to play countless instruments on pro level and to be a real

on the electric guitar ...anyway, whoever may be the guitarist, this solo is one long perfect phrase ... such phrases as played by Charlie Parker or Clifford Brown... and very funky.

Brilliant player, but that b******d stole my girlfriend

The most ecstatic piece of rock music ever recorded, which includes a mighty fine guitar solo by Jerry Garcia, is found on the Grateful Dead's Live Dead disc, track 3 (The Eleven). Highly recommended for your morning commute...

But for an even more minimalist version, that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, and reduce grown men to tears try Hendrix's live rendition, from the 'Hendrix in the West' album.

Worth owning for this and a superb version of Red House alone.

Back when I was dating my wife she was playing a Sting disc(don't know the name, but it's the one where Sting wrote copious notes about what each song meant to him and the social significance of his own performance- the pompous ***!), that had "Little Wing" on it, while I gritted my teeth tried not to pull my hair out. That was the last straw! I could stand it no more and I immediately stopped the disc and played her the original and she said "oh, that's much better, isn't it?" She passed the test, we got married, and Sting has never again "graced" my system.

MRehorst,

that tunes Little Wing and Red House infected me thoroughly and made me seek for more of that stuff.

My album is a German 1st pressing and is named "Jimi Hendrix" but i guess we are talking of the same recording.
I still get completely hooked on those tunes.

There is another one, not from Hendrix, but from those days: The Cream (featuring Eric Clapton) playing "Hideaway".

They're not my favorite band by a longshot, but some of Kirk Hammett's stuff with Metallica is very good. There are usually many guitars on each song, but they blend seamlessly. I'd almost call him more of a 'composer' than a 'song writer'

Randy Rhodes on Goodbye to Romance is one of my favorites.

Anything by George Lynch (Dokken).

In my opinion Joel Hanson plays an excellent solo in the song "My Time" on the PFR recording "Pray for rain". Pure and simple...!

Matt MacBeth · 21st October 2002, 08:34 PM

On a related note . . .

I'd have to say PFR's "Goldie's Last Day" is probably one of the saddest (good song, though) songs I've ever heard.
