Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.

[TheOriginalJames]

Yes folks, here is MY list of my favorite guitar solos of all time. GNR, Sweet Child O Mine is listed as number three because Zeppelin and Skynyrd have HARD yet AWESOME solos, but it's still my favorite song of all time. As for The Metallica song I chose, I just love the solo, but I had a hard time choosing from a lot of the 80s Metallica songs.

I mostly listen to classic rock, alternative, metal and rock, so this is where I'm basing my top 10 in.



10. Slipknot - Psychosocial

[Peter Parka]

good stuff there but this would get my vote

YouTube - Glen Campbell in Concert-The William Tell Overturehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_nO0F4ugss

 

[TheOriginalJames]

meh... he's a performer, not a musician who memorizes 3-4 cds worth of his own songs.

 

[Peter Parka]

This one should be in there though.:nod:

YouTube - The Star Spangled Banner

 

[TheOriginalJames]

But you see, that isn't one of MY favorite bands/solos. Who the heck is it anyway, Petinator?

 

[watermelon man]

I'm a real sucker for theatrics and fast stuff so this would be my choice:

YouTube - Michael Angelo Batio Double-Guitar Solo

I don't know how you guys get that fancy youtube thing so you have to settle for a link!

EDIT: OH NEVERMIND IT DOES IT AUTOMAGICALLY!

 

[Peter Parka]

But you see, that isn't one of MY favorite bands/solos. Who the heck is it anyway, Petinator?

:eek Please tell me you are joking!!!:eek

 

[TheOriginalJames]

No I'm not joking. If its hendrix, then I don't listen to nor do I like hendrix.

 

[Peter Parka]

No I'm not joking. If its hendrix, then I don't listen to nor do I like hendrix.

Yes it's Hendrix! I'm just shocked thatyou couldn't instantly recognise what is widely considered to be the greatest guitar solo ever, regardless of you feelings about it!:eek

 

[TheOriginalJames]

yeah he's a great guitarist, but I can't stand his songs simply because his voice, so ergo... his songs aren't in my list of favorites.

Slipknot writes guitar solos?! WHAT?!

Besides the Disturbed and the Slipknot solos, I like your list. Here is my favorite.

Deicide-The Stench of Redemption (solo starts at 2:29)

[Zorak]

I can't get on board with your list at all, I'm afraid

Like Stairway To heaven, when Page has done about 400 better solos.

1. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

YouTube - Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

We'll make a Southerner out of you yet. We could have visisted the grave of the dead half of them while you were down here.

 

[Zorak]

I'd put my vote in for:

YouTube - Rory Gallagher - Tattoo'd Lady (Madrid 1975)

keep it simple. 1 guitar, 1 amp, no effects.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Slipknot writes guitar solos?! WHAT?!

Well, when you can play guitar like the two solos you denounced, then you can talk. Otherwise that takes some skill to pull off.

Pass me a soda please?

Thats just fine and dandy. Like I said, it's MY list of favorite solos to jam to. You don't have to like a damn thing I do.

I can, and Slipknot suck.

 

[Maulds]

I can, and Slipknot suck.

Wonderful, we all look forward to you providing a video of your efforts playing the guitar.
