MichiganCatFartI know absolutely nothing about playing guitar but Santana has a cool sound.

same man I don’t know much about guitar but this is nuts, plus the story behind it is cool too

Also here are some others:

Megadeth: Conquer or die, tornado of souls, A tout Le monde, In my darkest hour.

I'm more of a rhythm guitar player (yes, thats basically me saying I can't play solos super well) but there are a bunch more I could add that I can't think of right now.

Sympathy For The Devil - Rolling Stones

Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Jerry Garcia has some sick solos, especially from the live Grateful Dead recordings. Probably the most basic concert but 5/8/77 is really good. The set with Dancing in the Street, Scarlet Begonias, Fire on the Mountain, and Estimated Prophet have some really good jams.

OP knows whats up

Deez_McskisOP knows whats up

most the solo is pretty easy to play believe it or not

Jemsmost the solo is pretty easy to play believe it or not

I could see that, but the sweeps part sounds pretty tough

Deez_McskisI could see that, but the sweeps part sounds pretty tough

the fast pull off section near the end is often viewed as the hardest part when I actually think its easy besides how far you gotta stretch your fingers up the fretboard

Wonderwall

Ermagerd Alice in chains was my favourite band for years

Ohio - Neil Young solo will always be one of my favorites

Comfortably numb is a pretty easy choice for me. I like a lot of his stuff but that solo is fire. When i saw him in 2016 it was such sn amazing show. Hearing those songs live, especially that comfortably numb solo. Fuck it was so good.

God is Dead? - Black Sabbath

The breakdown/solo that starts at 7:39 always gets me so hyped and I found it from some dudes SuperUnknown entry from a few years ago

GrandThingsGod is Dead? - Black Sabbath

duuuude i love that song

The solo is great, but also the chorus riff is so fun to play when you just want something slow but so heavy

Honestly anything by Van Halen is basically always good, their music would play on repeat while driving up skiing when I was young.

Really surprised to see people talking about RUSH, theyre like my all time favorite and def dont get the love they deserve #ripneal

PANAMA-A-A-A-A-A-A

METALLICUCK sucks.

MEGADETH - TORNADO OF SOULS

don’t like warren?

Green grass and high tides

Jemsdon’t like warren?

I saw Ratt in 80 something with Bon Jovi opening. A little surprised to see anyone on this site who's even heard of Warren. Really sad to see what happened to that band.

Not a musician myself but I love Gilmour's solos. Incredible tone. I like his solo on Comfortably Numb of course, but Dogs is fantastic as well

Coleg55

What's the story behind this? I think a friend was telling me about this the other day if I'm not mistaken. Took a bunch of LSD not thinking he was going to perform so soon?

well i’ve been listening to ratt for a while, warren is definitely in my top 5 guitarists along with robin crosby. i know how to play out of the cellar and invasion of privacy start to finish apart from some of the solos. pretty sure @HaydenB mom knows warren personally. really wish they got more musical recognition because they were so much more talented and clever than most the bands that got massive during that time period.

jompcockGrateful Dead

i have the guitar licks and solos from Althea stuck in my head like 50% of the time i'm awake. it'd be annoying if the song wasn't so fire

As of 6 years ago hasn't lost a thing. Dude is legit af
