Cool guitar solos

<< < (8/17) > >>

Catacombs:
Not one person mentioned the live version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane"?  That song is more than excellent.  Also, i second all the Neil Young posts, he's got some great solos.  Thanks to the guy that mentioned "Cortez the Killer".  I had never heard it before this thread and i absolutely love it now.  And what about "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac?

Fishboy:
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile (slight return) (how the hell can nobody have mentioned this before?)
Black Sabbath - War pigs (the final solo is awesome)
Pink Floyd - Sorrow (not as good as some of their other stuff, but damn good and at least worth a mention)
Achilles Last stand - Led Zepplin (Shut up, I love it)
Prelude; Lute Suite no. 4 - J.S. Bach (does lute count?)

There are a few others that I think are awesome and haven't been mentioned, but these are what I could think of off hand.

yeah, they only really hit their stride after he joined.  although logically, to be able to still play live material from the last coupla albums, his replacement has to be at least as good as he was in terms of playing, lets just hope he's as good at writing solos.

squishything:
Dead Milkmen - I Saw You Naked

Just a single bent note, repeated, but perfect for the song

The Pixies - Outro to No. 13 Baby

Alot of the time I get the impression that songs are played as a sort of 'frame' for the solo. While this can sound awesome, (and I really do dig some Jam bands, not to mention Jazz), In most genres, solos should be subservient to the needs of the song.

Oh yeah, I suppose I should say Hi or something, given that while I joined a while back, I haven't posted in several months, so pobably nobody  remembers me anyway.

Hi!
