Share a tasty guitar solo!

[HOF]

One of my favorite things in music is a good guitar solo. Wanted to start this thread as a dumping ground for any random guitar solos that you think just hit the spot. It can be anything, but perhaps the more obscure the better. To start things off:

Doug Ott - See No Evil (Enchant) (Doug’s solo starts around 3:50. The first two are Ted Leonard).

https://youtu.be/Ot4aEWGKa2U?t=224

Doug is an underrated player with tons of great solos, but Tug of War is one of the less visited Enchant albums for me. This song came up on my computer just now and I was like, “ooh, that’s a nice solo.” Has kind of a Latin feel with a nice balance of shred and melody (as Ott’s solos tend to do).

I don't know if this is tasty (probably not), but this is a funny way to start a solo: https://youtu.be/TkbO4MEgod8?t=415

That is unusual but cool!

[Lonk]

Cool idea! I have a few in mind but will start with this.

Solo starts around 2:07. A bit shreddy, but really good IMO.

Just want to say that this is an AWESOME album and I actually listened to it this week.

Rich, did I send that to you?

That's great, D!


I think Brent might've had Rata Blanca on one of his podcasts yes?no?

That is a tasty solo.

That's like twice in the last month we've agreed on something!

Well, I'm about to post a solo which I know you'll find tasty, but you will also refrain from commenting on the rest of the song out of courtesy.

You did! My last roulette, one of the last rounds. You sent Spectrum, I'm pretty sure it got you into the final round back then

[TAC]

OK, I'll play..

The nice melodic solo starts at the 3:28 mark, and then then from 3:55 -5:10, prepare to have your face melted. Great bass too!

Ha! Yeah, the song is not my normal speed. I do really like the melodic start to the solo. A bit Petrucci-ish in tone.

[King Postwhore]

4:40 in. Big build up to this solo.

Very cool. Have liked a lot of what I’ve heard from Barok Project, but the singer holds me back a bit. Noticed that Peter Jones wrote the lyrics for that one, which is cool.

[TAC]

Barok Project, but the singer holds me back a bit.

He can play!

I really like Martin Miller but in this instance Josh Smith delivers a very soulful solo: https://youtu.be/x_9Zn221BwQ?t=331

Another goodie is Mark Lettieris solo in this Prince cover: https://youtu.be/Po99AdWQK68?t=225

Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin On A Hole In A Paper Heart - one of my favorites

Yea probably the best cover i've heard, I really dig the vocals.

Zappa - Rat Tomago

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3YNfX1oU2XA

and, along with, plus, then there was, plus this, and... oh, by the way.....

Brian May, 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

<mic drop>

[TAC]

I saw you posted on the index page and there was no mystery about who you were posting.

Yep        Probably on one of the alphabetical Hard Rock Rarities ones that covered a fair bit of ground

[T-ski]

Gianni Guerra from the band Madsword, starts cat 5:50...

Ooh, that is tasty! And I liked the song too for the most part. Was expecting something more power metal with a name like Madsword.

[ReaperKK]

Some really awesome solos so far. I was going to post a Guthrie Govan link for my submission but instead I'll do a bit more obscure and acoustic. Time stamped:

https://youtu.be/frwsaK14o5U?t=124

[jammindude]

The solo doesn’t kick in until the 10:15 mark of a 13:44 song, but The Province is IMO IQ’s greatest song, and the guitar solo in this song rivals Gilmore’s from Comfortably Numb. It’s that good.

https://youtu.be/p-Bt5WIUl6o

[lonestar]

The Province  ...I always loved the bass breakdown right in the middle of that solo...



This solo has been my phone ringtone for a good 8 years now...time stamped just a few seconds before kicking in. I think what sells this for me, because it isn't overly shreddy or anything, is the fucking magical tone Sam gets from his guitar, it's just such a unique and awesome sound, so heart wrenchingly deep.

Sam Ermellini of Pyramid Theorem...

Brian May - When Death Calls (Black Sabbath)

Now, the mic can be dropped.

Holy shit!  This whole song kicks ass.  Gotta check these dudes.

The name sounds familiar.  Did you send me these guys in a roulette?  Or Chad maybe?  The sound of them doesn't ring a bell, I would have followed up on them for sure.

[wolfking]

4:40 in. Big build up to this solo.

Fuck that was awesome.
