Re: Whos the best guitarist and what solo
very good question!!!!
hmm, hard to decide on just now, but I tihnk there must be a solo or three from the likes of
angus young,eddie van halen, randy rhodes, yngvie malmsteen guy, stevie ray something, and a lot of blues solos.
i will come back to you on this one.
but one of my favourites would have to be the solo on Lynard skynard's "freebird"
Ken
ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending
Re: Whos the best guitarist and what solo
If you liked the freebird solo check out Steve Gaines and Allan Collins on the Freebird movie donig "Than Smell" Steve Gaines smokes. Also Muchael Schenker on UFO Live "Rock Bottom".

Re: Whos the best guitarist and what solo
no question, duanne allman, and its lynyrd skynyrd, it drives me nuts when people misspell it
Re: Whos the best guitarist and what solo
Speaking of misspelling Mr. Allman's name is Duane. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy"> Along with Dickey Betts they did some fine work together as Duane also did with Eric Clapton on the Derek & the Dominos album.

Re: Whos the best guitarist and what solo

Re: Whos the best guitarist and what solo
Stevie Ray Vaughan on "Life Without You". It puts a lump in my throat, raises the hair on my arms,and makes me wanna pick up my guitar and try to be 1/10000th of the guitarist that he was.
Give everything but up.

im sure everyone read it ok, well, unless they cannot speak or read english, if they were from a far eastern country and never had english lessons then they might not have understood that. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

Re: Whos the best guitarist and what solo
I really like this topic by the way..... Anyway i think the best guitarist of all time would the man Jimi Hendrix and his best solo would be Voodoo Chile (slight return). <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy"> <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy"> <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

Re: Whos the best guitarist and what solo
Mmmmmmm, Hard too say who the best guitarist is. Clapton? Page? 'Keef'? Beck? Hendrix? ME? <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_rolleyes.gif" border=0 alt="Rolling Eyes">
I'm gonna mention one that I think can sometimes be overlooked when talking about good guitarists, more a riff meister than a soloist I would think though. I give you... Tony Iommi. He hasn't half churned out some legendary riffs in his time.
As it's a best guitarist/solo thread I best pick one,eh? So, not my absolute favourite guitarist but I do reckon him to be the best (if that makes sense!); Eric 'slowhand' Clapton.
Best solo? The one drenched in wah pedal fuzziness at the end of White Room.
Blind acceptance is a sign, of stupid fools who stand in line. John Lydon.

Re: Whos the best guitarist and what solo
Ello! As for my favorite Guitarist, i would Have to say Jerry Garcia. The best solo would have to be his "Eyes of the World" Riff from Cow Palace, but then again, anything jerry plays is like !WOW! <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy"> <font color="deeppink"></font>
