Best solo ever?


KnightLite

Recommended Posts

I made a topic on this once, but it didn't go the direction i wanted it to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm looking for you opinion on the greatest instrumental solo ever. No other instruments, just 1 musicial doin his thing on his own instrument. Don't name any songs like stairway to heaven or Hotel California, because they are not solo's

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My current top 2 are:

 

 

 

Piano thing - Muse

 

 

 

Eruption - Van Halen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you should check them out.

I'd have to say the synth solo in Loser by Ayreon.

most anything by joe satriani :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Word.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, Stratofortress and Holy Solos by Stratovarius are one of those songs I'll never grow tired of. 'For The Love Of God' by Steve Vai is definitely worth mentioning as well.

John Henry Bonhams Moby D!ck, any version, spans from 10 mins to 20+ mins of him just going nuts on the drums.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At one part he puts down his drum sticks and just starts hitting them with his hands, haha awesome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jimmy Pages Heartbreaker, I know the whole thing isn't a guitar solo but hes just jamming for about three minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I'll repeat another one again, Eddie Van Halens Eruption, pretty awesome, I know a girl that can play that. :| (by the way, I've heard that Van Halen are going to do the next "Rock Star INXS" thing, I hope not, but true or false?).

The guitar solo in Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin is awsome.

Ever heard of Eric Johnson? No? Me neither, until a few days ago, when I heard "Cliffs of Dover." It's not an absolute solo, because there are drums playing underneath him, but mostly, it's just him on guitar doin his thing, and its pretty freickin awesome :D Find it and listen to it if you can.

I don't know why so many people chose Eruption. Yes it's impressive, but it's all tapping - once you get down the rythym it's easy.

 

 

 

I'm not sure i can really pick out what i think is the best solo ever, although if i did it would probably be in a Pantera song.

Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.
