I've always really dug Paul McCartney's guitar solo on TAXMAN. Simple, quick, but so "where the hell did he come up with that?"

This choice isn't hip at all, but neither are guitar solos:

"Tripping on a Hole in a Paper Heart" - Stone Temple Pilots, soloist - Dean DeLeo




I love that solo. Thatīs my favourite of their records, the trebly guitar makes it for me.

Funny that this topic comes up- I was just driving home listening to the local classic rock station and they played Heart's "Magic Man". I'm not a huge Heart fan, but the solo in that song is so cool, creepy, backwards, and perfect, and the tone is so original, I'd have to say that's a great solo.

Right after that they played Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4". I guess Terry Kath was one of Hendrix's favorite guitarists, but the solo in this song is a complete whack fest. The shittiest guitar solo ever. It had to be said.

Gilmore, Gibbons, Zappa, Nuge, Walsh, Baxter, May, Workman, Rhodes, =vh=, Atkins, Slash, the original Cake guy, Tom Morello, Adam Jones, all interesting, smart soloists.

SRV, Clapton, Blackmore, Allman, Dime, Hammett, Yngwie, Vai, Satch, Page, Beck, Green, Trower, yaaaaawwwwnnnnnn. No fireworks for me for some reason.

What about "Maggot Brain" by J Mascis, on Mike Watt's Ball-Hog Or Tugboat? That has to be the silliest guitar solo ever. I love it.

I like Bob Mould's solo on 'Celebrated Summer'. Also, on Bowie's 'Moonage Daydream', Mick Ronson treats us to a fantastic solo.

Also, I really love the one on "I'm Set Free" by the Velvet Underground. Also, I really love it. Partly it's because of it's only Mo Tucker's thumping sounds and the guitar with the reverb.

I wouldn't even have started the topic if I knew there were Bush Ass Kissers here as I don't even want to hear there "outrage" and comments at all because I have heard them and they are all wrong.

Listen to the solo in I'm Set Free then Havalina, it's almost uncanny.

Is that the one that sounds like lead guitar in Wave Of Mutilation (UK Surf)?!

Kinda playing the amp more than the guitar on that one. Cool. Interesting use of the wa wa as more of a tone shaper than the traditional method, too.
