most beautiful solo?

what do you think is the most beautiful solo? theres a lot out there. i personally think you lookin at me lookin at you is one of the most beautiful, maybe along with goodbye to romance.

November Rain by Guns N' Roses will forever hold that spot for me.

There are so many but this one has some great legato and bends.

Fermented offal discharge,Necrophagist,the awesomness.

The piano solo in freebird.

^^^ YES. definatly. or maybe the live outro solo in tuesdays gone. its so beautiful

Corazon Espinado

I know its a little overplayed but for some reason i really love the solo in Stairway to Heaven.

Kirk's solo in "The Unforgiven" was good. Idk what my fav would be though. I call raincheck.

IMO, Buckethead's Night of the Slunk solo would have to be my favorite.

brain drill do you listen to anything besides tech death?

the most beautiful solo to me is mostly jason beckers entire altitude song. its instrumental.

^agreed^

yes i listen a lots of thing besides tech death lol,its only because this solo is too awesome.

Well then post a vid n00b!! Let's see whatcha got! lol. Just kiddin' man.

Okay, Mine is a tie.

Steve Vai - For The Love Of God


Van Halen - Spanish Fly [Not Eddie, but this guy does a perfect cover].

I gotta second fermented offal dischargge, its unreal =]

Yellow Ledbetter's solo is very emotionally stirring for me. I absolutely love how Eddie Vedder introduces it with "make me cry."

Hope, a song from one of John Frusciante's solo albums, also has a great little soloesque thing. It's really a cross between a long fill and a short solo, but I remember being completely blown away the first time I heard it.

Blind Willie Johnson - 'Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground'

John Petrucci's Solo From The Live At Budokan Version of Hollow Years Is One Of the Best Solos Ive Heard

I think that Spanish Fly and Goodbye to Romance are the most beautiful solos.

I like "Soothsayer" by Buckethead. I can listen that solo over and over all day long.

Over the Wall by Testament

wont lie. this one has always hipnotized me. its literally like makin love to your girlfriend over and over again. jimmy page was godsent. the album version is the first solo i learned. my son will be named either jimmy or page. i admire page, and i only admire people that i need to look up to see them in the eyes. yet he is so simple, not greedy, never overuses speed. if i could choose a guitar teacher and a friend it would be him.

heres one thats awesome but "Embedding disabled by request" so heres the link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv2AwbnRtDg

it would be dave gilmour's 2nd solo of comfortably numb on the pulse dvd or neil young's opening solo in cortez the killer.

ah! i forgot!
FZ - Watermelon in Easter Hay

Oh definately this. I know there's one guy who only does a tiny bit of piano with him now and then, but the majority of it is Johnny Cash's solo. And I know, Nine Inched Nails wrote it and performed did it, but this was Johnny's song. It was truly made for him. I love it, his version of Hurt is very moving.



But if that's not acceptable for you as a solo, I'll say 'Soul Searching' that had recently been done by Eric Barrera.

i think i would have to say this one

Che, I Love you for EVERYTHING you said about Jimmy Page, except I won't name my son Jimmy (but probably only because I don't plan on ever having children, hahah!). I mean, isn't he friggin' amazing??!!
Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin (Short but nice)
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Highway Star - Deep Purple
These are MY personal favorites, although I do realize there are other amazing solos out there.

Hotel California Solo is nice
Fade To Black by Metallica has a really nice solo you should check out
Are you gonna go my way by Lenny Kravitz is really good
The Wind Cries MAry is pure Awesomness and has such a nice solo
Theres a few for you to listen too now

my absolute favorite guitar solo comes from one of my absolute favorite songs... coincidentally enough from an album titled "Absolution"... the guitar solo from Muse's "Hysteria". i think it's just beautiful, and when played over that bass line... man!

i'm more of a modern music guy than i am metallica or eagles... or even zeppelin or hendrix for that matter. not that i don't appreciate their talent or their emotion, but i identify with modern music better.

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

Someone mentioned "Cortez the Killer", by far one of the best... (btw if you haven't seen it, Warren Hayes plays a killer cover with DMB)

The legend Jeff Beck "Cause We Ended As Lovers"

I change my answer. Seize The Day - Avenged Sevenfold

Jo Satriani's two solo's in 'When a blind man cries' Deep Purple live Tokyo gig in '93.
I heard a bootleg version a month or two back and can't remember where I found it. Any suggestions anyone?

For piano: Great gig in the Sky -Pink Floyd

For guitar: A tie between Jammin- Greg Howe
Going Inside-Frusciante (simple yet powerful)
Altitudes-Jason Becker
Padmasana-Buckethead
Brick in the wall-Floyd
Shine on you Crazy diamond-Floyd
For the Love of God-Vai

How can I choose between those? My favorite is Great gig though, just because im moving on from guitar to piano and I am becoming obsessed with piano

Man, I just Love "The Great Gig In The Sky". It's just so out-of-the-Earthish! No words for it.

discarnate by disign by at the throne of judgement

jkjk xD

Just hear it and you guys, and have an orgasm, enjoy. id say this is heaven, no need 4 stairways.
Stairway to heaven - Led Zeppelin
Live san diego

I think the Jonas Brothers have come up with some amazing solos, which definitely equal and probably better any of the crappy suggestions you guys have made above.

Afro ;)
