1.wanted dead or alive-bon jovi
2.Jump-Van Halen
3.No leaf clover-Metallica and SF Symphony (from tha S&M album)
4.Sultans of swing-Dire straits
5.Bohemian rhapsody-Queen
6.comfortably numb-Pink Floyd (only the live one tho, its so much better)
7.All along the watchtower-Hendrix

thats just a few off the top of my head, there are so many awesome guitar solos out there

and yes i play guitar :thumbsup: :D

Just get high and listen to the solo in the Iron Maiden song "paschendale", it blows my mind like no other solo ever has.

EDIT: btw littlewing, I don't think No Leaf Clover has a solo:confused:

Black Napkins-FRANK ZAPPA

Buck Fever-Estradasphere

I love the vast majority of the Pink Floyd solos

but my favorite has to be Mr Crowley by Ozzy....off the Live and Loud album is the best.

Favourite guitarist is David Gilmour, best solos are;

Agree with little wing on Comfortably Numb, the liver version is simply the greatest solo ever, though the album one isn't too bad either.

Not strictly a solo but I love the intro for Coming Back to Life by Floyd as well, David Gilmour at his best, not the hardest bit of guitar work ever but one of the best intros ever.

Nothining Else Matters by Metallica has a pretty good solo in it, as do alot of Gamma Ray songs.

All I can tink of at this early hour, I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Yeah it does, the timing for it on the song is 3:15. check it out, its fucking cool:rasta:

I'm not much of a solo person when it comes to guitar. I've always loved the low end chunk sound of the guitar. But some of my fav. tunes to play are:

Pantera-Yesterday don't mean shit, I'm broken, War Nerve
Slayer-New Faith, Reining Blood
Metallica-Master of Puppets, Battery
Hatebreed-This is Now
Rage Against the Machine-Freedom, Bombtrack, Killing in the Name
Sublime-Greatest Hits

I play everything pretty much, but I love playing the heavy shit the most. :) Sublime is fun to play, and I LOVE playing the Blues. I don't really know any Blues acts, but I know most of the scales and such. I just improvise when I play mostly. Just go with the flow. :)

Peace.

i saw this on this dvd about sublime. brad nowell played a whole concert by himself. just him and his guitar playin all the best sublime songs. apparently the band got caught in traffic and he was the only one at the show so he went up on stage all alone. the crowd was goin crazy it was dope.

other than that i like jimi hendrix hes my man. jimmy page, stevie ray vaughn this list could go on for awhile.

i just picked up a guitar for the fist time a few months ago still not very good but im learnin.

man practically all of all along the watchtower is a solo. hendrix is so fucking sick. like it was so hard for me to come up with a list, the ones i listed are just teh song si hear alot and came to me easily.

as for my favorite songs to PLAY on guitar...

pink floyd - wish you here
skynyrd - free bird
audioslave - be yourself(just learned it, but its tight)
oar - crazy game of poker, the wanderer
led zeppelin - black dog, intro to stairway to heaven

to list a few

When it comes to guit-ars... I prefer the flamenco & fado music. :)

I like the guitar solo in Peter Frampton-Do you Feel Like We Do?.

Absolutely anything by Megadeth... Dave Mustaine is the best. Hanger 18 is about 4 minutes of solos. Gotta love it.

Also Slayer, old school Metallica, Children of Bodom, Archenemy, and Pantera. Oh, and Joe Satriani is great too.

their website is down but u can try it anyway
www.beneathadeadsky.com

I know, after the Justice album Metallica sold out big time. I love that Megadeth song Back in the Day on their new album. He IS talking about Metallica, right? They got some interesting history together.

I need to go to more concerts. I've only been to one (real sad) with Megadeth, Fear Factory, and Drykill Logic being the good ones there. Dream Theater was there too... the music was solid, but that guy's voice is just a little too high up there for my liking.

Neither link is working...

i know the myspace will but idk when myspace sucks i have no idea about their dot com

but yea they do have some history Dave Mustaine was fired from metallica

The Guitar on the Pros and Cons of Hitch hiking Pink Floyd. I think Calpton played a lot of geetar on it.

Anything that sounds like Honkey Tonk music as well.......Im just a scottish hillbillie

PINK FLOYD shine on u crazy diamond.EAGLES hotel california DIRE STRAITS brothers in arms an JIMI of course:smokin: :stoned: :smokin:

I like to play the intro, one verse and the solo of Little Wing as a quickie instrumental. That's one great song.

Castles Made of Sand, also from Axis. The 1st guitar solos throughout the song; it feels good to play, but I ad lib the backward-recorded part.

The solo from Louie Louie by the Kingsmen. Been playing it for about 40 years, still get a kick out of it.

42

Fade to black, one and master of puppets by metallica
free bird - skynrd
santeria - sublime
paranoid, fairies wear boots, and war pigs, basically any song by - black sabbath
lots of others ill post when i remember them

Right now I'm just trying to get my speed up. I can play free bird... at half tempo...
