Favorite "emotional" guitar solo

[wolfs]

A-ha! Somebody had to say November Rain eventually (I agree, though)...

Also, I totally spaced it until now: Eddie Hazel on Funkadelic's 'Maggot Brain'... that $h!t will eat out your head.

 

[Thunderbird91]

absolutely...proves that less is often more . you should check out his solo cd's . Amazing musician

I plan to buy them all. John Frusciante is my favorite guitar player and by far my favorite guitar player still making music. I'm Obsessed with the Peppers.

 

[Marley's Ghost]

Chicago/Terry Kath (RIP) - I'm a Man (most underrated guitarist ever)

Legend has it that Hendrix caught a CTA show in the late 60's. After, he went backstage and told one of the members of the band "your guitarist is better than me"

 

[BassGod]

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Rush - 2112
Death - Voice of the Soul
Metallica - Fade To Black
Pantera - Hollow

If any guitar solo was gonna bring me to tears, it would be one of those. And unlike many, many people, I find Kirk Hammett's solos to be quite emotive.

How can nobody have posted Joe Satrianis' "Always With Me, Always With You" ?

Not a guitar solo, but the overall arrangement on Under the Bridge outro.

And slash's solo at the end of november rain... dude, helicopters+solitary church in the video=awesome.

Hell yeah!

I really can't get enough of his solo work.

You got it!

Not to mention Introduction, Questions 67 & 68, In the Country!

I saw him get nailed in the shin by a full can of pop and all he did was grimace a bit, never once opening his eyes, kept on playing.
Very sorely missed player who would be very highly regarded today had he not passed so early.

Hangar 18.



And Vorago, you saw the Floyd reunion!? ah! Damn you!

Steve Vai - For the Love of God

 

[SBassman]

Pink Floyd's comfortably numb.

I just about cry when listening to it.

Good pick. Awesome stuff.

 

[SBassman]

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

Another good pick.
Brian May doesn't get enough credit in music history.
Incredible player.

Good pick.

 

[SBassman]

My pick would be something by Eric Johnson - but I'm not sure which solo yet.

High Landrons
Emerald Eyes

I'll think of more.

 

[McHaven]

Comfortably Numb is a good one.
The little spanish/acoustic bit in "Keep me in your heart" by Warren Zevon too.

Ooh, the french horn solo on 'For No One" by the Beatles is amazing too

 

[Joenok]

Steve Lukather`live solo on "I will remember"
Billy Corgan´s acoustic solo on "Landslide"

Everyone has forgotten "Little Wing"?
I know, it´s a cliché.. BUT
I especially love the solo work of Marius Muller, a norwegian blues/rock guitarist.. He used to nail that solo in every way.

 

[SnakeAnthony]

+1 for Comfortably Numb, plus alot of Rodger's other work with Floyd...

Warren Haynes- Soulshine (both Allman Bros. and Gov't Mule versions)

Trey Anastasio (Phish)- Free, Divided Sky(the whole song might as wel be the solo), Friday, YEM(another full song solo), Famous Mockingbird, Tela

Page McConnell (Phish Keyboards)- Lawnboy, Loving Cup (stones cover), If I could, Tela, Driver

John Bell (Widespread Panic)- Pilgrims, Hope In A Hopeless World, Aint Life Grand,

 

[All_¥our_Bass]

"High Hopes" by Pink Floyd - Dramatic inturlude and an outro solo that makes me want to cry.
