I have to throw the guitar solo from Firth of Fifth into this thread. I’ve mentioned before that it’s 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 you’ve not heard it before, the whole track is worth a listen as it’s a beautiful composition with some wonderful musicianship by all the members of the band.
The second version is Daryl Stuermer’s 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 Collin’s 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 it’s a lot more “widdly” than the original. Personally I like both versions.
Cheers,
Keith
