    I cannot think of a specific solo at the moment, but it would probably be in a Sonic Youth or Television song. I do not really listen to music that is based around soloing on any instrument. Just not my thing.

    I forgot about - Little Wing, the Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan versions.






    Thats tough.

    I like the one from This Love for the way it suits the dark mood of the song. Or maybe one of the earlier ones like Cemetary Gates or Cowboys from Hell. hmm.

    What's yours?

    Dancing through Sunday -- AFI. That guitar solo shreds my asshole in two, in three dimensions, mind you.

    Other than that, I like the Mike Einziger's bridge for the song, Priceless, from A Crow Left of the Murder. The rest of the song kind of sucks. But the bridge and the guitar solo kick serious ass. Try it out.

    Oh yeah, kick ass piece of guitar work there. I love the bridge and his usage of rake technique.

    Favorite?
    None. Too many.
    One of my favorites is Led Zeppelin's Since I've Been Loving You. Specifically the version featured on The Song Remains the same.
    Very nice.

    Lately, I've really been getting a lot of enjoyment listening to the 3 minute guitar solo in Zappa's The Muffin Man.
    Zappa was a mean mother on the guitar. Clean. So fucking clean. I wish I have a more of a history with him. I've downloaded his discography and have found several gems, but there's too much... chaff to sort through.
    Fucking genius though.

    Guitarsolos are a nuisance, they can ruin a prefectly good song just like that.

    "Ain't That Nothin' " or "Elevation" by Television. Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd were just insane. Just about anything by those two.

    Does playing the guiter with a violin bow live while dazed and confused @ Madison Sqaure Garden count for Zeppelin?

    Jamn'
