Favorite epic long solos

What are your favorite long solos?

I just listened to Stranglehold by Ted Nugent. Then, I had to hear Rock Bottom from UFO on the album Strangers In the Night.

Freebird solo.

The solo from Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

I'll probly think of more later.

whole lotta love from song remains the same

Also, can't forget. Singring and the Glass Guitar by Todd Rundgren.

not really one single solo, but many in a dueling format....Hangar 18 by Megadeth

Ride the Lightning by Metallica

Tornado of Souls by Megadeth

Eruption(tehe)

That's really all I can think of right now, but I should come up with a couple more later on...

dazed and confused also. long version of course

Judas Priest - Victim of Changes on Unleashed in the East.

Street Sweeper Social Club - Promenade (2nd solo)
Not sure how long "long" is

What exactly is considered long anyway?

@nullnaught

I copied ur idea for an avatar, lol cats are too funny... resistance is futile...

Rush-Bytor and the Snow Dog from all the worlds a stage

Haha Luthier, that Cat reminds me of Phil Collins... Hahhah...



happens to be from Hitchikers guide to the galaxy? :D...

well, anyway.. I think i must say Piirpauke - konevitsan kirkonkellot.

Yes Bytor is really good and old rush was known for the long tunes..but Teddie was allways a favorite of mine to. How about Elvin Lee(Going Home)........Night of guitars is good too. After careful thought...I would pic Wang Dang Sweet Poontang ..after all that song is why I started playing guitar in the first place:] and teddie said the statement anyone who touches the the fret board with there right hand is a idiot....no need

Huhu... Phil Collins, I guess ur right. I don't know if that's what it's from, I think I heard it on tv or something.

+ 1

+ Dear God by A7X

heartbreaker by zep and warning by sabbath

Does that mean that you like the solo or you play guitar for the poooty tang??????

Blackfoot-Highway Song

lol the song at first and the poon followed...lol....Highway song..is good too! forgot about that one!!!

satch boogie
carry on my wayward son
hotel california
through the fire and flames

I know it doesn't count as a "long" solo but the Dont Fear the Reaper solo is pretty sick.

The Outlaws-Green Grass and High Tides
Jefferson Starship-Save Your Love (not too long but good solo)

Mistreated - 'Rainbow live' (Richie Blackmore)

Hammerhead - Jeff Beck's latest album 'Emotion and commotion' (this is in fact an instrumental. Does this count?)

Well - Eddie Hazel playing Maggot Brian is my favorite.

also Sonic Youth: The middle of most songs. Even the theory hounds could love the counterpoint, harmony, anti-harmony and creative dissonance in sweet slow songs such as Disconnection Notice.

Holy Cow! I forgot... Do You Feel Like I Do! By Peter Frampton.

Deep Purple- the guitar/keyboard intro to Lazy. From Machine Head

These are all great! I love Do You feel like I do!

Yup, Frampton has been one of my main influences.

I bought a talkbox just to play around with do you feel like i do. Major influence.

Freebird by Lynryd Skynyrd
Stranglehold by Ted Nugent
25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago (Terry Kath)
Die Young by Black Sabbath (Tony Iommi)
Fade to Black by Metallica (Kirk Hammett)
Do You Feel Like We Do by Peter Frampton
Child in Time by Deep Purple (Ritchie Blackmore)

The Live versions of these are usually longer.

Have you seen this? One of my favorite songs done by Frampton. It gives me the chills when he sings the chorus with the talk box.

I want one really bad but I'm buying midi stuff and an Orange amp.

@macandkanga-cool video. What is that from?

@moshzilla,

I don't know. I searched the song in youtube and found it a while back.

Great video. I can't find it but see if y'all can find the song 'wont you be my friend' by Frampton. It's a little different for him but it's super cool. I discovered it on the album I'm In You when I got the vinyl.

I enjoyed that one.
Back to solo's
Jethro Tull-Aqualung
Uriah Heep- Magician's Birthday
I know..I'm gettin old :0

How about July Morning from Uriah Heep!

I like it. Are you gettin old too!!

The Final Countdown by Europe

Maggot brain

@Notim
Did you build the guitar in your avatar?

Its not really long . But the solo to rock and roll by zeppelin is one of my favorites.
