mountain bed Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Doesn't have Cippolina/Duncan's work on "Who Do You Love" (LP: Happy Trails). Jesus, how could that be left out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 My favorite solo is in Sympathy For The Devil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Lame.Ditto. Plus, how does Hendrix' "Star-Spangled Banner" not even make the list? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoFan Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 My favorite solos: Anything Jimmy Page and Johnny Marr's solo on The The's "Sodium Light Baby" I actually meant "This is the Night" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hendrix, Jeff Beck, SRV, Peter Green Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Lame.I second that emotion...why do people even bother with this?? LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Acres Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Please. What about Billy Butler's solo on Bill Doggett's "Honky Tonk"??? It laid the groundwork for so many riffs it's ridiculous. That list is beyond inane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 I second that emotion...why do people even bother with this??Generates talk. The kids call it "buzz". No publicity is bad publicity, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 thumbs down on that list. how about Larry Carlton's solo on Kid Charlamegne by Steely Dan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I noticed the lack of Brian Henneman's chickin pickin solo on Casino Queen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncle wilco Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 so i guess guitar world is full of sh*t? at least they got eric johnson's cliffs of dover. this is pretty heavy on the stuff the over 30 crowd grew up with on the radio and it's obvious that not a lot of thought was put into it. why is there no steve morse on this list?

street spirit Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 multiple Hendrix and no "Machine Gun?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusetc84 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Marquee Moon. nough said. It's a solo that's done for the song, yet it also manages to be epic as hell at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 thumbs down on that list. how about Larry Carlton's solo on Kid Charlamegne by Steely Dan? I think it is on the list....after 20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anodyne Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 perhaps the list should have been called "20 best known guitar solos" comfortably numb deserves to be on there. the rest are a crapshoot. stairway is the most overrated song of all time, so i guess it's about right to have GW put that at the top of the list. i was surprised to see one of my favorites actually made the list (honky tonk women at #96). no iron maiden? they practically invented melodic dueling solos.

mountain bed Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 A few that crossed my mind as being 'favorites':Steve Howe--Siberian KhatruRobert Fripp--FractureZappa--Black NapkinsSantana--EuropaKeef--Sympathy for the DevilBeck--Cause We've Ended As LoversPage--Dazed & ConfusedKnopfler--Telegraph RoadClapton--Sweet Wine (Live)Betts/Allman---Elizabeth Reed (Live) And esp. Gilmour--Time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Basil II Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Clarence White on.... "Chestnut Mare" and his take on "Eight Miles High" -Robert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Marquee Moon. nough said. It's a solo that's done for the song, yet it also manages to be epic as hell at the same time. I'll second that. I love Tom Verlaine on that solo. Its killer. But that whole list is crapt, the only thing good in the top twenty is Chuck Berry and Layla solo, but only because Duane Allman is in the solo. I mean Eddie Van Halen is crapt, he needs to learn the meaning of less is more. What about Neil Young's solo on "Powderfinger" or something by Lee Ranalado and Thurston Moore. or what I think is greatly underated is Ira Kaplan's solo on "I Heard You Looking" from Yo La Tengo's "Painful." Every time I hear him insert chaos and noise into his solo, it sends shivers down my spine. Finally, add in Sterling Morrison and Lou Reed's solos on "Sister Ray".

boywiththorninside Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 The last minute thirty of "Carry the Zero" by Built to Spill has some good guitar work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Degenerex Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 If neither Black Napkins or Watermelon in Easter Hay by Zappa make a list of guitar solos, I disregard it immediately Quote Link to post Share on other sites
