Fuck yeah
Fuck yeah
Trey Anastasio has called the really long sustained note about two thirds of the way in his favorite note in all of music.
Cinnamon Girl? It may be one note, but is there ever a point where you think "He should play a different note."?
Reelin In The Years. Jimmy Page's personal favorite guitar solo as well as mine.
Hard Day's Night. Apparently there is a significant amount of people that believe the solo was sped up because it's played so fast. But, for it to be sped up, the piano that was recorded on the same channel would also have to be sped up, which means it would have had to been played like two octaves lower or…
BOC is never going to get the respect they deserve.
Sultans of Swing is insanely difficult. He plays so fucking fast but it sounds so smooth. And he doesn't even have any distortion to hide behind.
Don't forget the breakdown on Yours Is No Disgrace. Or to put it another way, The Yes Album. Steve Howe kicks ass on that whole album. It is the most accessible true prog album ever in my opinion.
"Dead in the middle of little italy, little did we know that we riddled some middlemen who didn't do diddly."
"Loveless Love" by The Feelies. It is just an ascending and descending scale, but it's lightning fast and it really closes out the song well. The best part is Bill Million, one of the two core members of the Feelies, is the father of my best friend from High School, so I asked him one time how the hell he played it…
What's sad is that Maggot Brain and the amazing guitar work done in Parliament/Funkadelic and the rest of funk in general tends to get overlooked because when people think of guitar solos they think "rock."
Fuck yeah to Digital Love. That is as rocking as anything else ever
Does Prince's solo from the Concert for George count? Because that shit is incredible and Prince looks as effortless as Eddie V or Clapton ever did and he is kicking their asses.
