Lol guitar is for plebs. Solos are even worst.

Camel has some pretty good solos. I like Lunar Sea's solo.
But my favorite one would probably be Van Halen's I'm The One. It's just insane....
Idk I like the solo in Pink Floyd's Echoes too... hmmm
and the one on La Villa Strangiato by Rush ugh

>>71737177
nah

>>71737218
Why are you all posting shitty prog then. Not really making a case for yourselves.

>>71737199
>La Villa Strangiato by Rush

>>71737253
Fuck off indie cuck

>>71737253
lmao it's not shitty

>>71737253
Go listen to your hip hop

Interlude section of orion. Those harmonized bends while the bass is playing that awesome clean melody

>>71737199
Echoes is great but any colour you like is superior guitar work

Wes Montgomery on No Blues (Smokin at the Half Note)
Robert Fripp's on 21st Century Schizoid Man
Jim Hall on You'd be so Nice to Come Home to
Steve Howe on Starship Trooper
Peter Lindgren on The Leaper Affinity
Joe Pass on Five Pounds Blues
Harrison, McCartney and Lennon's shared solo on The End
Rudolf Sosna on Miss Fortune
Jerry Garcia on Dark Star (August 27, 1972)
Andrew Belew on The Great Curve

Honourable mention to every glorious lick played by Dorothy and Betty Wiggin on every track of Philosophy of the World

>>71737036
Kurt Cobain - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Pink Floyd - Time
Metallica - Fade to Black
Holy Grail - My Last Attack
Alice in Chains - Nutshell
Au5 & Heavy J - Dream of Love
Talking Heads - The Great Curve
Brian Eno - Baby's on Fire
Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker
Ted Nugent - Stranglehold

That's all I can think of now

>>71737399
The bass solo in that same song is way better

One solo that always gets me moving is Tommy the cat by primus its short but tasty and live it always goes off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4P_OofC3xM

Also gotta bring up Dean Ween he can wail
Tear for eddie is an amazing solo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpMoWlE2OkM

and for sheer endurance L.M.L.Y.P. the solo is huge the track goes for 35mins

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQnrnjuEjww

>>71737456
nice taste

>>71737456
this is a great list

for me, the solos in Start Choppin' by Dinosaur Jr.

Love the way it goes from being dissonant and frenetic to clean and melodic and back again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbD1sZj8BbA

Solo starts at 2:18

>>71737036
randy uchida-crazy bomber

Dancing with the moonlit knight and Firth of fifth by Genesis, anyone?

Pretty much any solo on Bad Brains' first album

>>71737381
>indie
Lol. The only acceptable guitar solos are in Talking Heads and Television. Everything else is wanky garbage

Maggot Brain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOKn33-q4Ao

Smashing Pumpkins - Soma

David Bowie - Boys Keep Swinging

>>71737036
Mine would have to be either Adrian Belew's solo on either Born Under Punches or The Great Curve by Talking Heads, or any one of Lou Reed's solos on Heard Her Call My Name by Velvet Underground

Yes on Wes, Pass.
Big yes on Jerry. So many of his solos make it into my top 20

Also, RIP big man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b2w_nJLuvw

>Yes on Wes, Pass.
If you like those two, you'd probs love the album that Hall solo is on (pic related).
His sidemen on it are fucking killer too. His playing was scare better than on that album, but the group chemistry is really what sets it apart.

>>71746385
Cheers, I'll check it out.

Also, all the John McLaughlin moments on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbCt-iXIXlQ

And this finger bending solo from Gary Lucas

I'm not a massive fusion fan in general, but man, does John find his way onto so many of the best ones.

I really like Mick Ronson's solo in Moonage Daydream

Duane AND Dickey on Blue Sky-one of most melodic solos ever with killer simul-jam in the middle

AND/OR Duane on the second half of Mountain Jam- one of the most sublime 5 minutes of soloing ever

EVH- just about anything on VH1- so short, concise and brilliant. Able to do more in 10 seconds than most wankers in an entire song.

Tommy Bolin- Stratus (Billy Cobham)
Jimmy Page- Whole Lotta Love
Nuno Bettencourt- color me blind
Chet Atkins- Cannonball rag
Steve Vai- Audience is Listening

>>71745094
You know that's stolen from Dream On by Aerosmith

>>71737036
Death in your eyes- Annihilator
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK1g3-V7pBY

Dont care for this band, never really listened to much of them but check out this solo, literally the best metal solo i've ever heard

2:30 - 4:40

>>71747108
>second half of Mountain Jam

you mean this? It is extraordinary...everything Jerry wished he could accomplish in one passage...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8oZAeL084Q

people genuinely get enjoyment from guitar solos past the age of like 16?

>>71747230

Why wouldnt they? Being able to craft lyrical, interesting melodic passages on an instrument is pretty basic to musical enjoyment.

Do you only like music for the "words"?

Empire by Queensryche, super dated late 80s but goddamn it every time it gets me going, so huge.

Marty Friedman on Tornado of Souls is the best metal solo of all time

not only does prince have an amazing solo here, it's also a great cover in general
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y

Guitar solos are life


Obligatory BTBAM Selkies:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19UZd_DKs2Q
Listen from 4:30

Here's a few others I love:

No More Tears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CprfjfN5PRs

This one is wizard tier ~1:30
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmn8hU_B4l8

Job for a Cowboy surprised me with this one at ~3:30
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJnu3Tp8tNk

Also Hotel California because fuck you that's a god damned classic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPrJJ_nUYQs

>>71737036
The second guitar solo in Human Sadness by Julian Casablancas + The Voidz

That song is really incredible. Julian is stealth patrician.

>>71748874
>no more tears
Fucking based

Pere Ubu - Humor Me

>>71737036
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY01aJbHf1U
Starts at 1:56. Angus's best solo.

Picking a favorite is real tough, but one that's always stuck out is Mick Taylor's solo in Can't You Hear Me Knocking.

Although maybe it's because it's preceded by the really good sax solo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fa4HUiFJ6c

>"leave dad rock to me" - david gilmour

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPdlJFDpU6o

Not necessarily favorite but I really like the solo in Frankly Mr Shankly

>>71737036
whoa, that's my favourite too

Top 5, with 4 minutes of thought.

5. Say Hello 2 Heaven--Temple of the Dog
4. 1% of One--Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks
3. Alive--Pearl Jam
2. Since I've Been Lovin You--Led Zeppelin
1. Slaves and Bulldozers--Soundgarden

While typing I realized that there are 3-4 Phish songs that could be in the top few. So not set in stone.

>>71751136
>Phish

>>71751161
What I just said.

>>71747119
Nope, the solo for that song was performed in the studio by Joe Perry himself specifically for that song.

What's happening here? Any more good solos? Or is tread died?
