Epic Guitar Solos

Exactly. That's what not to post in this thread. This is what should be posted.

Solos that are impressive because of the emotions the performer gives out.

There's too little Clapton in this thread.

Banjo vs Guitar

That's pretty rad cover actually, but I the inbred southern brat still does much better a job.

That's one of the awesomest things I've ever seen/heard, and I've already seen/heard it several times before.

As for Epic Guitar Solos, I can't add anything in particular right now, but I'll have a peer through my playlists later and see if anything is worthy.

Arch, all 4 of your contributions rock but then Olga is a guitar god and I love the Subs (my band has supported them a few times and when GBH played down here in the 90's, Charlie Harper came with them and he slept under my stairs LOL. Lefty Right from Splodge was also there for some reason  )
and at an after party in Morecambe I was lucky enough to see the Subs with Lars Fredericksen on guitar. absolutely amazing

but to get back on topic, this has some of the best guitar solos ever (and if what I once read is true, all of them are improvised)

Edit: Dat link's quite nice on the ears.

Morecambe was home to the Holidays in the Sun/Wasted/Rebellion punk festivals in the UK

for nearly a week the whole town was taken over by punks and it was great

edit: yes it is, isn't it?

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Haha, yes, I've been to Morecambe many times. It's not as cool these days, much quieter, almost Coventry-esque in its eerieness.

Although your website seems to indicate that the Winter Gardens in Blackpool are the new venue of choice.... craziness I say. Blackpool is almost as gay as Brighton. Hardly the place of all things rock and punk!

 

[Urlik]

true
I much preferred Morecambe to Blackpool

And here's the original version by John Butler Trio, who is amazing.

Just in that performance, you can see how much he loves playing.

This guitarist requires representation in this thread:

Many of his solos are epic, but this one is sig.  Such a Taleworlds-worthy video to boot.

Normally I do not care too much for solos to an extent and most are up to the listener to decide if it is good or not.

Did you not look at the obligatory section?

 

[Vomar]

Nope, my internet sucks too bad  to look at something that I don't know is good.

damn you and damn your obligatories, cant you post the name of the song/performer with the link?!

Joe Satriani - Always with me, always with you live in paris (the longer version with some improv)

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Everything that happens between 4:12 and 5:00, and again between 5:30 and 5:55, etc

I'd go so far as to say that GnR without Slash in it isn't even GnR anymore.

Also, not really a solo as such, but the interlude during Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear The Reaper is all kinds of awesome.

They are so obligatory that the artist/song doesn't matter.

Obligatory:

That is and always will be one of the single most boring things I've ever heard.

Yeah, although HitS started in Blackpool. Not the same these days though, haven't been since they shifted it back to Blackpool. Morcambe was absolutely hilarious.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

They should put more crazy music **** in Morecambe. It's boring these days, full of coffin-dodgers and Chinese people.
