Your idea of the best guitar solo of all time (Page 2/3)
1987RedFiero JUL 27, 08:13 AM
I like tons of different types of music.
As long as the solo gives with the mood/feel/vibe of the song.
Some great players have some great solo's that don't fit/belong in "that" song. Then have a solo that is perfect for a song.
No way I could pick just one.

Gary Moore, still got the blues for you.

This is a cover/lesson but you can hear the guitar and see how its played.

Saw them at the Royal Manor North in NJ June 83, Texas Flood tour. I was like, damn, this guy has something! The RMN was a great place to catch up & coming acts. Very intimate venue.

I agree with Rams. Roy Clark gets my vote.
My all time favorite of his is Ghost Riders in the Sky.

Glen Campbell is another one that can play a mean 12 string, but not in Roy's category in my opinion.

There really is a large variety of good guitar solos- really hard to designate any one as "The Best!!"....

How about Jimi Hendrix- "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"...?

For me it’s Yes / Owner of a lonely heart and Spooky. (Atlanta Rythym Section)

I won't get many upvotes, but the intro to Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" is absolutely top notch.



Say what you will about Lou, (you're probably right) he knows good guitar players. Just let the intro roll.

So many good guitarists... of all musical persuasions. I'll throw out a vote for Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band.
This whole song is a blast... but if you're absolutely pressed for time, advance to the 3:37 mark and rock on!
