GeddyRulz Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Two of my favorites that come to mind: Ritchie Blackmore's solo (and guitar breaks) in "I Surrender" by Rainbow. Very emotive. Alex's solo in "No One at the Bridge." Also very emotive; he's never played with so much feel before or since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Alex Lifeson on "Freewill" and "The Pass". The latter is simply the most emotional, poignant guitarwork I've ever heard done; the former is intense and awesome. U2 on "Where The Streets Have No Name". The building intro to that song is just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuppetKing2112 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I really like the solo at the end of There Was a Time, from Chinese Democracy. I think it was Buckethead that played it, I know that demo is from when he was still in Guns...might have been Robin Finck though. Who knows...it will be interesting to see what it sounds like when/if Chinese Democracy actually drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sawyer Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 QUOTE (launchpad67a @ Apr 28 2005, 10:19 PM) I have so many favorite guitar leads/solos in various songs. Curious what everyones favorites are, from any band/individual. *Comfortably Numb - David Gilmore ...just a perfect melody and rhythm, beautiful, very 'vocal'. * Blue Powder - Steve Vai ...amazing use of amplification, great feel and rhythm. Indeed - Comfortably Numb - David Gilmore, but from Delicate Sound of Thunder. It's... it's.... "indescribable" truely, it must be experienced!

HigherWater Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Prepare to hate me: 1. John Petrucci--Hollow Years (Live, Budokon) 2. John Petrucci-- As I Am (Train of Thought) 3. Steve Vai-- Liberty (Passion and Warfare) 4. Steve Morse-- Third Power (High Tension Wires) 5. Alex "the most balanced guitar player ever" Lifeson--Analog Kid, Second Nature, La Villa Strangiato, Jacobs Ladder....Et al>>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPeartFan2112 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Other than Alex Lifeson, Tom Morello might be my favorite guitar player. Basically all of his work is awesome. It's so unique, and it all sounds phenominal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxst Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Glenn Tipton (Judas Priest) for Beyond the Realms of Death, and Dreamer/Deceiver David Gilmour - take your pick, they're all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
