The live version David Gilmour did on tour in Gdansk is phenomenal. I have the DVD/CD set of that concert and the CDs live in my car, so I've listened to that version of the solo about 10,000 times now. /thread 17 hours ago, Gugny said: He really makes the guitar scream in this solo. I always point it out to my son (up and coming guitarist) whenever it's on the radio. There aren't many better "rock guitar soloists" than Gilmour. Gilmour's the best. Knopfler's a worthy 2nd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. And anyone reading this - if you have a chance to see one of these shows, DO IT. It's hours of great guitar from beginning to end. Saw Eric Johnson during his Venus Isle tour. He's an incredible guitarist. No one's mentioned Clapton's solo in Crossroads, or Hendrix's in Little Wing yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I've always thought Keith Richards guitar solo on "Sympathy for the Devil" was perfect...I've heard some live performances of it from recent years (probably mostly Ronnie Wood playing them at this point), and while the solos are still great, they are far more embellished and drawn out...I just like the direct relative simpleness of the recorded studio version...nasty tones, fit the song just perfectly.

I like that! Keith's tape recording additions to JFF and Street Fighting Man of this era make it a little tough to replicate. Andy Johns claims: When we were doing "B word," Keith was very late. Jagger and Mick Taylor had been playing the song without him and it didn't sound very good. I walked out of the kitchen and he was sitting on the floor with no shoes, eating a bowl of cereal. Suddenly he said, Oi, Andy! Give me that guitar. I handed him his clear Dan Armstrong Plexiglass guitar, he put it on, kicked the song up in tempo, and just put the vibe right on it. Instantly, it went from being this laconic mess into a real groove. And I thought, Wow. THAT'S what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Man there are so many. Are we talking speed solo? Technical solo? Or just overall great solo? Guitar solos are the thing that will draw me to a song and get me to play it over and over. So I'll probably end up competing with gugny for most posts in this thread! I guess we can start here. I had a hard time deciding between this and still got the blues but since this was the first song of his I discovered I'll go with it. On 1/24/2018 at 9:08 AM, Seasons1992 said: 2.

When he first struck out I thought he was just a gimmick but he is fantastic on the guitar. I was really surprised at his range. How about some love for Steve Vai. Solo starts 2+ minutes in but this guy is also incredible there are so many it is hard to pick 1 but you can't go wrong with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your son you will not regret it. Saw him several times years ago in California when he toured with the Meat Puppets. If he is doing a solo gig it will be great.

Gigged with it and concluded while it looks good. Sound wise it sucked. $90 Danelectros blew it away. That said I sold it to a friend for $100 and regret it because of its current collectors status. None the less it sucks IMO. Lucite does not resonate well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGTEleven Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) I like a lot of guys mentioned here already. I love that Gilmour is getting a lot of mentions. I like classic rock for the most part so I thought about Hendrix, Gilmour Page, and a bunch of others. For a lot of them I like some of the lesser known deep tracks type songs. I was trying to pick one of those to post and was surfing around Youtube. When this popped up I couldn't look past it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1Wp2ASqyxI For one that you might not have heard, look up a live version of "Speedway at Nazareth".

Doc Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Another obscure solo from a metal master who, like Vai, IMO are probably 2 of the most technically greatest guitarists ever, but lack feel: And another from the master George Lynch (going to see him in March at a free show at a local casino): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
