Well Artem
Almost every day I learn something new with the guitar ( getting better) and thatās fun ,so the first is very easy and Iām also getting closer to āthatā and other stuff every day ā¦so yes, that sounds easy too ā¦ just "wait"10(?) years and see what happens
It all start with an good idea ā¦ or a brain burp
Just watching Nuno sit in on a Rick Beato live stream and Nuno mentioned that Brian May once told him that he considered the solo in Get the Funk Out to be the best solo ever written.
Opinions?
I have to throw the guitar solo from Firth of Fifth into this thread. Iāve mentioned before that itās in my top 3 favourite guitar solos, possibly number 1.
This was also mentioned in another thread recently:
I present two versions.
The original is here. The solo starts at around 5:41 but, if youāve not heard it before, the whole track is worth a listen as itās a beautiful composition with some wonderful musicianship by all the members of the band.
The second version is Daryl Stuermerās interpretation from their live shows. Daryl joined Genesis as a touring member of the band in 1978 after Steve Hackett left. He also ended up being Phil Collinās guitarist for most of his solo career, alongside the legendary bass player Leland Sklar. This was always one of the highlights of their concerts although this version is somewhat controversial amongst Genesis fans because itās a lot more āwiddlyā than the original. Personally I like both versions.
Love him or hate him for his politics, Ted played some bad ass solos and wrote some great toons.
Back in the day no one knew out about him just his music and that was all that mattered.
Solo or instrumental this is a great example and worth a listen.
This is one of my favorite songs (I am partial to the album version). The guitar solo is excellent but it really needs to be heard in context as it sits in contrast to the more triumphant keyboard solo that comes before.
For anyone that hasnāt heard it before, Iād encourage you to take 10 minutes and enjoy the song. Iāve always thought of progressive rock as classical music written for electric instruments and this song is a great example.
Ted Nugentās songs include the most misogynistic lyrics I have ever heard. He regularly objectifies women and glorifies physical violence against women. I donāt care about what he does with his guitar, I canāt enjoy music like that.
Oh I know all about the band, when it was just Trucks and then after he got with Susan Tedeschi. But thanks for the tip in case i didnt. The hubby and i have been listening to him for quite some time now.
Lots of wonderful solos so far, but I think this topic needs a bit more metalā¦
Iāll start with my favourite song, which also has one of my favourite solos ever.
Then, from Metallica Iāll pick one which is not only amazing, but also fits perfectly with the lyrics (as it sounds like crying).
The next is a long one, from Argentinian band Rata Blanca:
And Iāll end up with a song from Spanish band Los Suaves, where their lead guitar player Alberto Cereijo is joined by 12 other guitarrists turning the song into a shred-fest starting from around 2:45
I donāt like to contradict everyone whoās responded BUT ā¦ā¦ I will!!!
First a caveat - Blues arenāt my favorite genre, Classic Rock is - I love Rock from the 70s, 80s & 90s the most. I started listening to Blues when Justin encouraged it & didnāt really dig most of the stuff I heard. All that being saidā¦
THIS SOLO IS AMAZING!!! I listened to the offerings above & gotta sayā¦
Alvin lee outplayed them all in my opinion!!! That guy truly knew his way around the fretboard!!!
Hereās my CHOICE choice !!!
