Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Inspired by the lead vs. rhythm guitar thread and listening to one of my fav modern guitar solos, let's discuss our favorite guitar solos released on or after January 1, 2000. Not a huge category, I know, but a nice opportunity to sh®ed some light on some oft forgotten modern masterpieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Anyway, my absolute favorite modern guitar solo? The gianormous solo break in Muse's "Reapers." Classic, modern, epic, all the right things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Refer to Coheed and Cambria & anything Ty Tabor... There's plenty of great guitar solos there. So much so that I'd either fill this thread up with them, or do injustices to many solos of theirs by only listing but few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Haken - Aquarium Kick ass solo that stands for everything that is rock: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Dream Theater - The Count Of Tuscany Lots of beautiful guitar work in here. Lovely solo from Petrucci in the beginning, and towards the end there's another one following the same motif but an octave higher. Simply awesome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Porcupine Tree - Way Out of Here This album contains the height of Steven Wilson's guitar work. This solo is particularly breathtaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your_Lion Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Been listening to The Black Crowes Before the Frost...Until the Freeze a lot of late, and I just can't get enough of this guitar solo from Luther Dickinson, at around the 6:20 mark 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I could post several White Stripes' songs, but Jack White doesn't get much love on this forum... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I could post several White Stripes' songs, but Jack White doesn't get much love on this forum... Go for it. The only reason I can think of to disrespect him is the fact that he doesn't utilize a bassist in The White Stripes. A bold move, too bold for me But still, go for it.

Blue J Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Been listening to The Black Crowes Before the Frost...Until the Freeze a lot of late, and I just can't get enough of this guitar solo from Luther Dickinson, at around the 6:20 mark I knew which solo you meant, without even listening to it. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof that rock isn't dead, it's arguably more alive than ever - all you have to do is know where to look :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 I love Jack White's solos and leads. Not underrated I don't think, but maybe under-recognized, as in like not enough people know about him. One of my favs of his is in "High Ball Stepper," which I think shows up right after a big break in the song. Great soloist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) A few years back, there was a craze on youtube with metal guitarists playing Pachelbel's "Canon In D" - it was called "Canon Rock" and a million guitarists over the years tried it .. As a guitar player who lived thru the 80s, and then saw the guitar hero killed by the backlash of the 90s and beyond, I loved this ... musical masturbation ? -- sure -- but I'm still putting my own version together - hopefully I'll get it on soon enough :) Here's a memorable one - don't let the nose fool you, this guy rips ... and there are dozens and dozens similar Edited May 2, 2016 by Lucas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
