Union 5-3992 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Yeah I know there was a topic similar to this in 2011 but I figured this sort of topic could generate some traffic here. What are some of your favorite obscure guitar solos? I'll start with a recent one. Dinosaur Jr's I Don't Wanna Go There has to be one of the best solos of the 21st century. I've played this song to death and I never get sick of it. The song is like 65% guitar solo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) This track may not be underrated since it's on one of the most popular albums of all time but the solo in this song is what helped get me into Prince. This solo was so unexpected when listening to the album for the first time. Edited March 9, 2019 by Union 5-3992 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 This guitar solo just floors everything but no one raves about it because it goes over most people's heads unless they're a guitar nut or jazz head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU_sdOxvBvk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Not exactly an obscure solo, but always impressive to me... way underrated... play it loud...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3cu8sDa90Y 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemned2bfree Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Two of my favs J Mascis and Mr Holdsworth. From 3:36. I guess it's the perfect end to the whole amazing song..rather than being an amazing solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemned2bfree Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Satriani at 2:21 Don't know if this song is that known, appearing on Hamm's album. Its fantastic and suits the music perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Eruption off Van Halen’s debut. If you haven’t heard it, you should check it out. It’s pretty good. You can probably find it on YouTube. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
