Favorite Guitar Solos

[JacksonConcept]

I know there are some amazing and technical solos out there, but which solos just give you "goosebumps" when you hear them? Solos that "Fit" the particular song perfectly and hearing them makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck...I have 5 to start.

1. Wasted Years - Maiden
2. Bark at the Moon - Ozzy - Jake E. Lee
3. Fade to Black - Metallica
4. Over the Mountain - Ozzy - Randy R.
5. Electric Eye - Priest

Food for thought eh?

Re: Favorite Guitar Solos

When you can feel the emotion in the playing, that's what usually nails it for me. A couple...

Randy - Goodbye to Romance
VH - Hot for Teacher

Re: Favorite Guitar Solos

the mountain song - dave navarro
larger than life - rick derringer (standing in for a drunken ace frehley)
tonight - randy
she wants money - robbin crosby
just about all of rock and roll rebel is a solo, and it's all hotter than a urinary tract infection - jake
bark at the moon - jake
calling dr love - ace
firehouse - ace
shock me - ace

partial notes and noises that i think rule:

the last note of the miracle man solo - zakk

the slippery descending run that leads into victim of changes - (no idea if it was glenn or kk)

the sustained and shaken note in slip of the lip solo - warren

the delay loop that makes up "how soon is now" by the smiths.

the little trem picking/wah thing that dave does in the mountain song solo that sounds like a toucan in the jungle

steve vai's "tobacco" at the very end of tobacco road - dlr

the opening part of welcome to the jungle - slash

the little part that jeff beck plays in people get ready as the key changes up to Eb - classic.

anything that lindsey buckingham plays.

Re: Favorite Guitar Solos

Dream Theater, Morbid Angel, Symphony X, and Meshuggah have played my favorite guitar solos. I'm too lazy to list the any certain songs by said artists.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, I agree about Lindsey. Let's not forget the great Neil Schon. Old Journey stuff gives me goosebumps.

Re: Favorite Guitar Solos

I've been going through my library of songs here on my computer. So far I picked a handful from Criss Oliva, Paul Gilbert, and George Lynch... I haven't even gotten to Blues Saraceno, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Marc Bonilla.. etc...

It's a good question, but it's gonna take a lot of research to answer.
