Your_Lion Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Anything by David Gilmour could make the list. Every solo he plays just fits the song like a glove, and every note is perfectly judged. He proves that you don't need to play at 100mph to make a good solo.Obviously, Comfortably Numb is a classic and pretty unbeatable. Time, Shine On..., Another Brick pt2, Coming Back to Life are all fantastic. The harmonised solo in Dogs really does something to me. On the Turning Away, Sorrow. The title track on On an Island. The list goes on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 How'd everyone so far forget The Analog Kidhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JRykXDP2Yk3:28 Eh... It's a shred solo written by someone who can't shred very well. Alex works magic with other solos by taking sometimes simplistic but original apporaches, take "Subdivisions" or "Limelight". You sure he can't shred very well? (2:50) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well obviously in that clip he doesn't sound as good, but in the studio, he f***ing slaughters it. I just chose a live clip because they are more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd3btVhwr48 A few excellent solos in this song, but listen to the last five minutes or so. Dat Knopfler. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beneathbetweenbehindyourmom Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Thin Lizzy - Still in Love With You. The original studio version is still the best. Gary Moore on lead guitar. He could shred like a mother... and play beautifully melodic solos that you could sing, much like David Gilmore. Oh and speaking of Gilmore, the slow middle solo in Dogs is my favorite of his. Props to the posting above with Telegraph Road. I've listened to that song for two hours straight before. Knopfler is amazing. Edited January 26, 2014 by beneathbetweenbehindyourmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 But my all-time favorite guitar soloist is Marc Ford, when he was with the Black Crowes. And this is his best: "Sometimes Salvation": Hear, hear! Marc Ford is tremendous. Or at least I hope he still is, whatever he's up to these days. I hope he is taking care of himself. What has always struck me about that solo in Sometimes Salvation, the studio version- it's all about the compression! I don't know exactly how he achieved that sound, but wowsa...incredible. That being said, I think I might actually like Cursed Diamond a little better, though- credit to Marc Ford and Rich Robinson equally for that. I've heard far too many solos and I'm entirely too indecisive to come up with a favorite solo of all time, out of all of the guitarists I've ever heard...I don't even think I could narrow down a top twenty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen of the World Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 La Villa - Hands down favorite solo of all time... by anyone. Lerxst in all his glory. It build so perfectly from swells to shred and drops right into the nice little rif to take us back... in 7/8 time no less. My favorite NOTE of all time occurs at 4:33. Lerxst in Wonderland gets my vote too. If I was only allowed to listen to one piece of music for the rest of my life, that would be it. So emotionally charged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
