Favorite "emotional" guitar solo

[wolfs]

Hank Marvin's second verse solo on the Shadow's "The Savage" always makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck and gets my blood pumping. That, and the fact that it's from 1962, just blow my mind...

 

[bassist 4 life]

Pink Floyds Comofortably Numb, and the extended solo for Hollow years by Dream Theater (Live at Budokan version).

2 Awesome solos.

 

[Juneau]

John Scofield playing Cryin' Time from Ray Charles.

 

[zazz]

im going to check out each one of these tracks that i dont know!!

 

[flatwoundfender]

Albert King- pretty much anything, but Pretty Woman comes to mind.
Hubert Sumlin-most stuff, but my favorite is the Howlin Wolf song Hidden Charms
Hendrix - Wind Cries Mary, Castles Made of Sand, and many others.

 

[Diego]

Lillian axe guitar solo in the voices in my walls

 

[unbasslichkeit]

The slow part in Wishbone Ash's "Blowin' Free". I believe that was Ted Turner

 

[morf]

Queen - Somebody to Love, those guitar solos are all amazing. Anything by Hendrix, especially Wild Things

 

[Matt Till]

Rush - Bytor and the Snowdog


Other than that I'm blanking... I don't listen to guitar solos much anymore....

Beatles:Something in the way she moves (rummor has it it was Clapton)

Jeff Beck : Cause we ended as lovers, I'll third JimK's nomination

Ty Tabor: The Prisoner (Kings X- Ty soars on this tune)

Andy Summers: Round midnight, Sting sings on this one (on green Chimneys) but Andy's 335 work is an excercise in tasteful

Pat Metheny: Question and answer, the whole Cd is great but the title tune is exceptional

 

[whitedk57]

Peter Frampton

Do you feel like I do? (live)

 

[Akami]

Speaking of Wishbone Ash, "Persephone". Absolutely beautiful end solo!

 

[canadian bass]

Not really a solo but I love the live into to Sorrow off of Delicate Sound of Thunder. Every time I here it it transports me to another place. I think David Gilmour is one of the bests at creating tasteful solos that are not all about speed. Also Comfortably Numb is one of my favorit solos ever.

Steve Lukather on Toto's " I won't hold you back "
Pat Metheny " If you see her' from Secret Stories- tear jerking composition
Jaco on "A Remark you Made", and the solo on "Havona"
