Post a Great Guitar Solo

Big Country - Inwards (starts at 3:40)

Wonderfully lyrical, with clear echoes of Verlaine and Garcia, but very much Stuart Adamson, all the same.

 

Slaughter & the Dogs - Dame To Blame (solo begins at 1:47)

A teenage Mick Rossi, no doubt encouraged to new highs by the producer, Mick Ronson. The sound of the Yardbirds wearing Doc Martens...

 

I'm A King Bee-Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush ('78 Live Album)
Solo starts aprox 2:00

 

Never heard these guys before. Thanks!

Punk with Glam. More Johnny Thunders than X-Ray Spex. I like the sound.

 

Glenn Tibrook at :51 - such a terrific and truly underrated lead guitarist.

 

That reminded me a lot of Eliot Easton of the Cars, the pentatonic licks with the occasional nods to the harmony of the song and the sliding sixths (actually may have been thirds...will have to listen again). Nice stuff!

 

He has recorded tons of awesome, memorable solos; ripping or not.

 

This for the jazz fans (early 60s Coltrane style). A bit long, but Sonny Greenwich is the first soloist and he shreds so it's worth the listen! And the other guys are no lazybones either...



EDIT: Sorry for the wrong clip initially posted, folks! (Identical picture on Youtube...) This is the right one now...

 

^ Sonny steps in at about 2:50.

 

From Joe Satriani, a burning one at 2:28:

 

A legendary one from Jimi:

 

The amazing guitar god: Randy California & Spirit

 

Led Zeppelin - No Quarter - Album: The Song Remains The Same

The FULL Version:

 

I would also include Andalusia and Asik Vaysel as well. I don't know how he does it, but he always takes me to that special place.

 

Great example of double picking. Sounds like it's getting out of his control and Ginn pulls it back on track. (Starts at 1:03)
Who said punk doesn't have solos?

 

Godlike

 

Nice! Love that Chuck Berry on Speed sound.

 

they really rip on the last half of the song

 

Zeke Turner at 0:57. Just because it's so weird to play a solo like that on a song like this.

Hank Williams - Pan American

 

Grateful Dead - I'm a Hog for You Baby (3-25-66)

Solo starts at 0:58

 

Mike Bloomfields first solo on "East-West". Eye opener.

 

John McLaughlin-Do You Hear the Voices You Left Behind
He's on his farewell tour. Better see him now, because there will never be another like him.
