Mr. Not Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 IMO This is my favorite solo portion of any song.. Ever... It's a guitar/keyboard solo duet.. Whenever I listen to this part I get so f***ing energetic! Thought I'd share.. And if you think this sucks, please open my eyes to better solos by recommending them 1:48 - 3:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbW_WyG7PEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0N Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I could never really get into Sonata Arctica, but that was pretty cool. Sounds kind of Symphony X-esque in my opinion. They have quite a few solos in a similar vain. In The Dragon's Den was the first that came to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Half-Forgotten Stranger Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Sorry. IMO that solo sounds like all the rest in that, and many other veins of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortkort Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 here are some of my favorites Marillion - Sugar Mice solo at 2:14 Dream Theater - Afterlife solo at 3:58. the guitar keyboard unison kicks ass. solo at 1:56 Journey - Be Good to Yourself solo at 2:24. i prefer this version to the original Rush - Marathon and one from the master.

Ted Barchetta Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Start at the 4:21 mark onward. The build up is awesome. Hemispheres - Rush - First Guitar Solo From the beginning to the 31 second mark. My absolute favorite guitar solo. Clap By Steve Howe Is A Knuckle-Buster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is prog metal today? A bit too fast and metally for me without enough soul. In terms of the best solo ever, I'd have to think of that, way too many to mention. One piece of greatness that comes to mind is Deep Purple's Highway Star with the trading off of duplicate guitar and organ solos - it's hard to get too much more epic than that. Of course pretty much all my great solos would be from the 70's... Deep Purple - Highway Star: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh0iihjANPc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 QUOTE (Ted Barchetta @ May 26 2010, 12:21 AM)Clap By Steve Howe Is A Knuckle-Buster. Even Howe himself, to this day, says it's very difficult for him to do. Moving away from the flash-over-substance picks which fill this thread, I'd pick two passionate solos which aren't hard to execute but are filled with feel: Ritchie Blackmore's guitar breaks and guitar solo in Rainbow's and Alex's guitar solo during (Alex was never that emotive before or since; it's his best solo ever.)
