favorite solo

[icecakes]

Hi I'm Rose (get it Janice)(I'll tell the story another time )

I was going to ask everyone what their favorite guitar solo would be but then I thought geee that might be too broad of a question.

So.. Between
1. Steve Morse, Steve Vai, Pertucci? Favorite solo?

2. Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Jimi Page? Favorite solo?

3. Eric Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Brian May? Favorite solo?

4. Satch, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen? Favorite solo?

Mine are: Hmmmm I'm thinking I'm thinking...
This isn't easy. haha I'm trying to think how to change around the names so I would have one from each group.

Ok for number 1 I would have to say Morse with Hereafter even though I think For the Love of God is amazing.

For 2 Gilmour - Comfortable Numb

For 3 Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover

For 4 I am going with Eddie with Eruption. I love when it changes at the 57 sec mark.

Stay well.

1. Morse- Runaway Train
2. Gilmour- On the turning away
3. Johnson- Desert Rose
4. Eric Clapton- Badge

Desert Rose over Cliffs of Dover? Really? Hmmmm You must be a romantic.

 

[robelinda2]

the actual solo in Cliffs isnt so great IMO, awesome tune though and great tones. Desert Rose is magnificent, especially the outro solo.

 

[Polaris]

1. Steve Vai - Ballerina 12-24
2. Jimmy Page - White Summer
3. Brian May - I Want to Break Free
4. Satch - Flying In a Blue Dream

...I know someone's gonna think those are odd choices!

 

[SteveB]

First, let me say that I liked robelinda's choices.. "On the Turning Away" and "Desert Rose" are great solos. (My fav EJ solo is probably "When the Sun Meets the Sky".)

1. Steve Vai - "Blue Powder"

2. Gilmour - "Another Brick in the Wall"

3. Hendrix - "Bold as Love"

4. EVH - "One foot out the Door"

Ask me next week and I'm likely to give other answers. There are just so many good solos from all of those players!

Hi:

1) Steve Vai : Ladies Night in Buffalo
2) Page : Heartbreaker
3) could not pick one for Jimi (I have in mind just great riffs + rhythmic parts), so I'll take EJ's Zzap
4) EVH : Feel your love tonight

 

[Jimmyb]

'On the turning away' is great, especially the live version from DSOT.

Hmm, let's see..

1) Don't really know any of them well enough (my bad)

2) Gilmour-Comfortably Numb (aka Come on Big Bum)

3) No preference

4) Clapton-Badge

Well, that's my choice today. Tomorrow may well be completely different!

 

[Mayo 84]

ok!

1. Whit DP: live @Olimpya-When a blind man cries; Warm Regards; To live forever;

2. Cause we end as we lovers; sorrow; starway to heaven;

3. ; little wing; innuendo;

4. Rubina; from Just one night-Blues Power; poundcake!!

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

My favourite one of all time is 'Killer Queen' by Queen. Just love that 3 part harmony!

1. a Tie between Steve Morse - Soemtimes I feel like screaming: Live in Melbourne '99 & John Petrucci Spirit Carries On Live: Score.

2. David Gilmour - Not a huge Pink Floyd fan, but you just have to choose a song to and hear a great solo.

3. Brian May - Bijuo, Good Company, Millionaire Waltz, Let Me Live (anything really - he has never played a solo on record that did not 'fit').

4. Eddie Van Halen - Dreams: So basic yet so cool.

 

[Colin]

1. Vai - I'm Easy
2. Beck - Led Boots
3. EJ - Righteous
4. VH - Unchained

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

3. Brian May - Bijuo, Good Company, Millionaire Waltz, Let Me Live (anything really - he has never played a solo on record that did not 'fit').

I so agree! They are perfect compositions that always seem to fit!

 

[threeminutesboy]

1. Steve Vai : Yankee rose

2. David Gilmour : Comfortably numb

3. Brian May : Killer queen

4. Eric Clapton : While my guitar gently weeps

 

[robelinda2]

Yankee Rose doesnt have a solo does it??? cool licks all the way through it though! might have to go listen to it, maybe i missed the solo!

 

[threeminutesboy]

Could be I didn't listen to it since 1988 as I don't have the CD and no way to listen to my tape anymore

I remember that this guitar part bring a large smile on my face each time I hear it
