best guitar song

<< < (2/7) > >>

KharBevNor:
In the acoustic stakes 'Feathers Fell' by Dissection. Simple and totally beautiful.

As for electric...gah. 'Angelclaw' by Arch Enemy is the song that made me pick up a guitar, but then I have so many other favourites with insane/awesome guitar. 'Supersatan' by Cryptic Wintermoon and 'Bad Hobbits Die Hard' by Wuthering Heights would rank high among the alternative choices.

This is taking of course, that you mean your favourite songs from the standpoint of their guitar-work, rather than just 'your favourite songs with guitar in them', as that's about 90% of my favourite songs.

Amsterdarn:
For acoustic, I'd say "Steamed Juicy Little Bun" or "Night After Sidewalk" by Kaki King.

For electric, I'd say "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson, "For the Love of God" by Steve Vai, "The Divided Sky" by Phish, or "I Only Said" by My Bloody Valentine.

Within the context of a more traditional song, there are too damn many to choose from.

Kai:
I'm gonna have to go with "Surfing With The Alien" by Joe Satriani and, as metnioned above, "For the Love of God" by Vai, at least in the guitar wankery category.

Inlander:
If we're talking ostentatious guitar solos, then I'm surprised Dinosaur Jr. has rated a mention yet.

La Creme:
There's different guitar playing for every type of music, so...
