Post a Great Guitar Solo

Early on someone mentioned that the whole topic could be Mick Ronson solos - here's what I think is the best example - a combination of melody, restrain, power and crunch and it takes you somewhere. Where? - look at the audience in ecstasy of a very physical kind.

Play it loud.



Mick Ronson with David Bowie & the Spiders. July 3, 1973 Hammersmith Odeon London.

Mick's featured throughout, though the soaring solo starts at 3:20 till the end almost three minutes later.

 

Ha! I just finished watching the movie, and I was going to post this song.

 

So instead, I will post this other one:

 

Robert Fripp helping Eno.

 

Chicago "Poem 58"

Terry Kath on guitar.

 

East/West - Butterfield Blues Band - the whole track:

'tempo rubato' by one definition.

 

Fair enough, "Each to their own"

 

One of my favorites from him.

Steely Dan - Black Friday

 

"Daydream" (1975 live) by Robin Trower. The main solo starts at 4:12...

 

Another Trower, "Bridge of Sighs" from 1974...

 

Andy Latimer has such great solos, for example: Stationary Traveller

 

Latimer is fantastic. I wish I could post all of The Snow Goose!

 

Jerry Reed's great pickin' is all over this tune, but he gets a special workout at the end. Starting around 3:00.

 

Prince. At the Super Bowl. In a Rainstorm.



Solo starts around 1:15.

 

Prince again; begins around 3:30

 

Who's playing the solo on this one?

 

Felder and Walsh

 

Zakk Wylde

 

So did my best friend and I with our wives too. At Humphreys ,San Diego. Agree about King's X as well. I saw Kings X at a small club in SD in the 'early '90s. Great show!Saw Joe for Flying IABD tour and Dream Theater for Scenes FAM tour.

 

Bloodline- Since You're Gone ( Joe Bonnamasa 17 years old) 1994

9:26 A short solo at 2:15 But,The Solo starts aprox 4:00-then starts killing it at the 4:50 onward to the end! This was the first I heard of JB in '94 and was blown away! Enjoy
