...why? and anyway, I'm going to have to say Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan.

I enjoy that solo also :)

I don't really have a favourite, though.

[QUOTE="tzar3"]Ride The Lightning by Metallica, KIRK HAMMET IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!lemonfreshpanda
Not only is James Hetfield ten times the guitarist that Kirk Hammet is, Kirk Hammet is pretty lame. If anything, he's a hindrance to Metallica, which I love, don't get me wrong.

I know that james is an awesome guitarist, but do you have any links or anything to support that statement? i find it hard to believe what you said after watching kirk playing his great solos live...BTW, a little off topic, check this out, james and lars have a drum duel lol:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rYA3C3ffHD4

there's a first part of this, but james only shows up in the end of it, watch it to though, ,pretty cool stuff :P

The live version of "Do you feel like we do"  by Peter Frampton,

 And for the TC who said they like Comfortably Numb.  I can play that along with many other Floyd Songs,  G'n'R and Metallica are 2 other bands I know a lot of!

Beginning of Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughn has always been one of my favorites. I could sit here all day and list my favorite guitar solo's but I don't want to.

Really, the Free Bird solo isn't an attempt at virtuosity, or even melody. It's really just an excuse to make a lot of cool sounds and build to a climax. At that it succeeds. Is it necessarily sheer genius? Nah, but it's a great solo to rock out to. I can't call it an influence, but I love the bit where the guitars do the "train cross" thing. I would consider that one of the coolest sounds in guitar playing, I don't care if you don't have good chops, as long as you can do that thing, you're my hero.

Technically no, but the beginning is something that I've always considered a solo.

There are a lot of things that sound neat. That doesn't mean I like to hear them in music. Freebird sounds terrible to me and that's the bottom line.

I don't care how much effort you put into it, but if something is just not pleasing to the senses, I don't like it. If a riff is absurdly difficult to play and sounds terrible, and another is absurdly easy to play and sounds amazing, I know which one I would say I preferred.

The Smells Like Teen Spirit solo sounds pretty bad anyway.

 

Kobain gets my respect as a songwriter, but he gets none as a guitarist.

I like it... It's got a cool tone to it, even if it's just Kurt Cobain playing the notes to the verse and the begginning of the chorus.

He's not that bad of a guitarist... In Bloom's guitar solo was pretty cool (doubt it takes much skill, either, though).

And that's fine to attack it for that it sounds bad. Just don't praise other stuff simply because it's difficult to play.

I really don't agree about that tone. It's awfully tinny and dull.

 

In Bloom was Kurt Cobain bending some notes really hard, nothing special really.

 

I agree he's not THAT bad, but I don't exactly enjoy his lead work.

You're not the only one... Hendrix's was way too short, even though he did put a lot of effort into it.  Stevie improved it immensely and made it outstanding.

I know... I laughed a lot when I learned about that. He's not a bad guitarist, though the only people who claimed him to be anything but a decent guitarist was Rolling Stone.

J Mascis was a much more talented guitarist, who had been playing far less than Cobain. And Johnny Greenwood... Go to Sleep has the best solo ever.

I'm talking about the power chords at the very beginning of the song. As I said, technically it isn't a solo, but I've always considered it one.

I know... I laughed a lot when I learned about that. He's not a bad guitarist, though the only people who claimed him to be anything but a decent guitarist was Rolling Stone.

J Mascis was a much more talented guitarist, who had been playing far less than Cobain. And Johnny Greenwood... Go to Sleep has the best solo ever.

That Kurt wasn't great at guitar is actually really, really important musically. And I'm serious. In my opinion, Nirvana began the shift to music that created an atmosphere rather than music that's just a bunch of instruments. It stopped being about individual musicians (I realize this sounds terribly ironic considering the cult surrounding Cobain, now, but he was not Nirvana AT ALL) just playing whatever.

 

Oh, and Johnny Greenwood is God.Â
