Question for guitar players... you'll like this. What do you consider the greatest guitar solo ever played? WAIT... before you answer: Give me 3.... (not a hard and fast rule).... because choosing only 1, as we all know, is impossible. Hell, even 3 or 9 is impossible but we have to draw the line somewhere. Also.... at least ONE of your answers HAS to be a solo NOT from your favorite genre. So if you're a hard rock guy at least one of your replies has to be NON-hard rock. And by the way... NON guitar players are also welcome... but just say you're not a guitar player in your reply.https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1110221#msg-1110221Fri, 15 May 2026 22:50:55 -0400 Phorum 5.2.18 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1112459#msg-1112459 Mine is...Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape....https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1112459#msg-1112459 roman18 Bucky's PubThu, 29 Aug 2024 15:32:01 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1111464#msg-1111464 It's all good..https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1111464#msg-1111464 sstrams Bucky's PubMon, 26 Aug 2024 21:49:12 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1111462#msg-1111462 Think I said it badly....https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1111462#msg-1111462
An example of a song I actually do NOT like but still think the production value and talent is off the charts incredible is "Kiss From A Rose" by Seal. Well, to be honest, I have not listened to that song in a VERY long time..... sometimes songs grow on me. - JamesJM]]> JamesJM Bucky's PubMon, 26 Aug 2024 21:30:49 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1111451#msg-1111451 That's ok.. as long as..https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1111451#msg-1111451 sstrams Bucky's PubMon, 26 Aug 2024 20:30:04 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1111445#msg-1111445 Eddie Hazel............Maggot Brainhttps://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1111445#msg-1111445

I don't care much for the song "Comfortably Numb". But here's where it gets odd... I most certainly DO recognize the talent and the quality of the song. For whatever reason it just isn't that pleasing to my ear. I can't explain that. The guitar solo - no doubt one of the best I've ever heard.

This happens to me a lot - that is I'll hear a song, a performer, that is truly remarkable and yet... the song or the artists, (on that one song), doesn't work for me.

One of the most amazing drummers EVER is Thomas Lang. I have listened to hours and hours of him playing because he's incredible. And yet... I'm not a big fan of his - - - his talent YES, the music he makes not so much.

But anyway this thread was great.... thanks for the input. - JamesJM]]> JamesJM Bucky's PubSun, 25 Aug 2024 13:24:48 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1110601#msg-1110601 Great record have all his solo albumshttps://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1110601#msg-1110601 ferragamo79 Bucky's PubFri, 23 Aug 2024 16:36:57 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1110383#msg-1110383 Ok, my non rock song..https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1110383#msg-1110383

Gary Moore - Still got the Blues (totally cheating but I enjoyed his moved to more blues type stuff than some of his early play).





Natalie Merchant - Carnival (saw her live once, didn't know who the guitarist was but I still remember this song).





And one more cheat...

Mark Knopfler - So far from the Clyde





I'm a fan of a guitarist that "meanders" through a song. So a couple probably wouldn't classify as a solo.

I'm an R&B, early hip hop guy. I decided to avoid the easy metal famous solos and pick some things I've seen or heard that stuck with me.

These are typically my jams.

"Comfortably Numb". This just may be the most highly praised song I know of - from friends. I know the song but not that well.

I get chills every time I hear it.

I wasn't a Pink Floyd fan... until I went skydiving for the first time. It was my daughter and I. I hired a guy to video my daughter's jump. They took the video and put it on VHS.... with added music - "Learning To Fly". Learning to Fly became one of my favorite songs. :laughing]]> JamesJM Bucky's PubThu, 22 Aug 2024 11:59:45 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1110278#msg-1110278 That's a tough one, Jimmy..https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1110278#msg-1110278
I know two my my favorite rock solos will probably come as a surprise to most people.. well, one of them probably won't be a surprise.. I'm gonna think about this more and I probably won't include a non- rock solo in this post cuz I need time to think about it..

One of my favorite solos is the second solo in Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.. A lot of people say Gilmour is overrated, but that solo was really done well, imo.. it's no technological masterpiece, but I think it's from the heart..

My second rock solo is No More Tears by Ozzy Osbourne.. I'm not the biggest Zakk Wylde fan, but I really like this solo.. when the song comes on radio and I'm driving, I always hafta be positioned just right so I can drum on the steering wheel while that solo is playing.. I guess I just hafta be part of the music, and believe me, i whack the steering wheel extremely hard on this one.. Again, no technological break-through here.. just a solo from the heart and the last scale walk ups at the end really get my blood moving..

Let me 5ry 5o 5hink of a non-rock solo.. it's like 6:30 am, so my brain is on a kickstand right now l ol]]> sstrams Bucky's PubThu, 22 Aug 2024 07:54:01 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1110221#msg-1110221 Question for guitar players... you'll like this.https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1110221,1110221#msg-1110221
