Your favourite Guitar-Solo

[mudkicker]

In My Dreams, Dokken / Lynch won GFTPM solo of the year in 86 for this one.

The bit at the end of Bold as love where he makes that thing cry, it still makes the hair at the back of my neck stand up when I hear it!

There's no way I could name just one favorite solo. How I react to a solo can really depend on my mood there and then. But the solos I like most are the ones that are recorded in one take, live in the studio, and the player really puts his soul and emotion in his playing! Like someone said earlier; When the lyrics and the feeling of the song really get inside the guitarist, and he's got maybe 20-30 seconds to express it, with feeling.. That's what makes the hair stand on my back!
A real "hair-raiser" for me in that respect is Uli Jon Roth, he plays the guitar and writes the lyrics. And what he may lack in singing-voice, he makes up for by letting his guitar totally tear it up..!
Listen to "Burning Wheels Turning" or "I'm a River", you'll know what I mean

Whole lotta Rosie

A-blues climbing up the positions, classic rock double-string bends, Angus attitude... "You could say it's got it all" (duh-nih-nuh-nah-nuh-nih-nuh)

[BTB007]

Wow, this is hard. I like to be entertained by a solo and it really has to do the song some justice, not just a spot to showcase the guitarist.
If you have the "In the Round, In your Face" Def Lep video, the duel solo in "Diehard the Hunter" by Steve and Phil just perfectly fits the song and is pretty sweet.

Cinnomon Girl- Niel Young - wicked note choices.

I think a solo is good when it fits good to the song and when it has a feeling! You don't have to play very fast to be a good guitarist!
You can play 400 notes in a minute and nobody want's to hear you. But you can play 30 notes and everybody say "WOOOW"... You have to put feeling in your fingers. For example a good finger-vibrato isn't so easy as it sounds...!

Lets not start an argument about "speed has no emotion." Im tired of hearing it. By the way, alot of guys like David Gilmour and Shawn Lane use whammy bars as a source of vibrato more often than their fingers. Im not saying its better than finger vibrato, but I like using the whammy bar for vibrato better.
