Just great Guitar Solos
 

I could have posted several dozen, but I present these for your perusal.
Mr David Gilmour, one quarter of Pink Floyd. and Mr Larry Carlton, a guitarist you will never have heard of but he has worked with so many you will most likely have heard his work.

Enjoy

THE best ROCK guitarist ever in my opinion the one and only ANGUS YOUNG let there be rock

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

My favourite guitar solo is Jimmy Page's Dazed And Confused (the version on Led Zeppelin 1, NOT the various lengthy live versions which go on for far too long).

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

One from my fave guitar player.....

The best blues guitarist SRV with a top class solo not bad for a white boy

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Personally I find Jimi Hendrix as the greatest Rock guitarist.
Try this by Alvin Lee of Ten Years After
Alvin Lee - No Limit (HQ) - YouTube

Or maybe Gary Rossington and Allen Collins of Lynyrd Skynyrd playing Freebird. it has been rumoured that I and my Captain (of our corporate jet) have been known to Air Guitar to this in Oslo when very drunk, with only my Ipod and sound dock for company.:eek:

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Frank Zappa's solo on Transylvania Boogie from the album Chunga's Revenge is another toe tapper. Connected to other threads on here, Frank was very much opposed to drug use and spoke against it.

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

SRV was one of the finest, sad to hear of his death, however Doyle Bramhall II was his understudy, worth checking out

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Can't beat a bit of air guitar as long as you both had all your clothes on bg its top class fun:D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I can't argue with that. So few albums released in his lifetime but all innovative. I've always had a soft spot for the long version of Voodoo Chile.

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Now that would be telling, but we had had a drink or two

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Yep doyle pretty good for an upside down leftie:)

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Loved his work with Roger Waters

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Woah, some good stuff on here, this thread will run and run...!!!

Another guitar great: Ritchie Blackmore.
This vid features the late Ronnie Dio and Cozy Powell.

[QUOTE=Boeing Guy;974808]Loved his work with Roger Waters[/
Yes he has done some good work with Roger Waters, Eric Clapton and Sheryl Crowe a talented guy without a doubt:)

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

AHH Rainbow loved this when i was about 19-20 used to ask for it in the Railway when we went in on a saturday night those where the days hair and a six pack:D
Rainbow - Since You Been Gone - YouTube

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Errm why would you want a six pack in the pub Dave? Did they not have beer in glasses? :rolleyes:;);) :hehetable

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Pity I can't unload clips on here because I would love to put some Johnny Winter on. He proves that white men can play the blues; he is whiter than white, being an albino!

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I've always liked this one of JW's....
Johnny Winter - Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo - YouTube

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Heartbreaker - cool! My second son is a dead ringer for Curt Cobain....:D

Nirvana - Heartbreaker - YouTube

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Dianne, N*****a have well and truly murdered this classic.....shame on you, haha!!!

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Have had it on in the car for a few days- courtesy of son...:D
Love the way someone says -i don't know how to play it... at the beginning! Loll!:p

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

A FEW days...?!!

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Yes, before that it was Korn and Slipknot...occasionally I get Skream if I'm lucky!:rolleyes:

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Thanks for that, Steve. I think there should be more hats in rock and roll!

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

You're scaring me now.....!!

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Problem is you grow to like it and sing along -with all the "eff" words!:D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Steven Tyler wearing the hat I made for him. - YouTube
The lovely Mr Tyler -with hat -then without shirt!;):D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I agree with you on this one! ;)

But Eddie Van Halen is in the runnings in my view...

Eddie Van Halen - Eruption - YouTube

The precision of his playing on this solo puts Richie Blackmore to shame! :D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

No sue that was a six pack on what has now to be described as a firkin:D:D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

POD -my favourite song -they have an unusual guitar sound of their own...

P.O.D. - Ridiculous (Feat. Eek-A-Mouse) - YouTube

:D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

That's one of my favorite Rainbow tracks WM, it was on Vintage TV yesterday morning, my poor neighbour, the TV sound went up a couple of notches:D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I agree with BG on this Jimi Hendrix is my favorite guitarist, he was way before his time, I have always wondered how far he would have gone if his life hadn't been cut so short, he packed a hell of a lot into his 27 years, his use of controlled feedback was something else, can't say anybody else has come even close to using it to the effect than Hendrix did

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

A firkin what?

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

a firkin lot of beer:D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Too right, John. Nine gallons I believe.

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

And now something completely different.

Guitar tuned to the ancient Solfeggio scale.

Guitarist Ronnie Montrose died yesterday - this is one of his.......

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

This one is called The Clap, performed by Steve Howe from Yes.

The Clap/Steve Howe - YouTube

If you fancy trying to learn it, here it is again.

Steve Howe - Clap - YouTube

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I'll give it a go, it seems fairly straight-forward....!!!!

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I saw Yes at Belle Vue in about 1970, he played the Clap live on stage.

Makes you want to give up playing altogether when you see someone that good.

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

When I discovered Yes it was Trevor Rabin on guitar but I prefer the "classic" line-up with Steve Howe.

Yeah, I've nearly given up a few times. The last time was when I saw Fish do an acoustic gig - his guitarist was excellent!

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

For a nice guitar solo try Neil Young with Crazyhorse playing Down By The River or Cowgirl In The Sand from his second album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.

Billy Gibbons - ZZ Top/Blue Jean Blues.

zz top blue jean blues - YouTube

Jimi Hendrix is on record as saying that Billy Gibbons was the best blues guitar player around back then. ;)

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I seem to remember that Hendix quote myself.

ZZ Top also did an excellent cover version of Viva Las Vegas.

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Nice to see "Clap" posted. Ill see your Howe and raise you the majestic Steve Hackett with the guitar solo from the Genesis classic "Firth of Fifth".

Steve Hackett - Firth of Fifth Solo (Budapest 2004) - YouTube

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I think Hendrix said "Billy Gibbons is my favourite guitarist!" not the best in the world as I said before!


Thin Lizzy - Don't believe a word - YouTube

This guitar solo is ace! Thin Lizzy - "Don't believe a word!" ;):D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Brilliant!! A great band.


Thin Lizzy - Waiting For An Alibi TOTP - YouTube

This next one was a B Side, I think.
Scott Gorham and Garry Moore on guitars?

Gorham and Moore were on Alibi but it's Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson on Emerald (one of my all time fave songs)

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Cheers, Steve.

Thin Lizzy were a great band, rock music with balls!

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Too right.
Saw Limehouse Lizzy (Lizzy tribute band) last year they were absolutely suburb!!! Would've loved to have seen Lizzy with Phil Lynott but discovered 'em a couple of years too late.
Seen Thin Lizzy at MEN but Limehouse were much better - gonna see 'em again next time they're up here.

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Richie Blackmore "wigging out!" :D

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I think this guy has played before.

Joe Satriani - Ceremony (Live In Sanfransisco) (HQ) - YouTube

:alright:

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I think this fella's played before as well

Albert Lee - That´s all right mama - YouTube

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

I,m surprised that no one has mentioned Hank Marvin......perhaps not in the elaborate style of Hendrix...but he has recorded some great tracks since going solo and of course with the Shadows.

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

And he influenced and inspired many guitarists, including Eric Clapton.

Re: Just great Guitar Solos
 

Les Paul as well, pioneered - in fact invented what is fundamental to the whole pop/rock guitar style!
