Heartbreaker by Jimmy Page. Scuttle Buttin' by Stevie Ray Vaughn Let The Good Times Roll by Jimi Hendrix
something by Frank Zappa; haven't decided yet La Grange or Tush by Billy Gibbons
Note that these mostly are in the blues-rock category; I'm not metal enough to pick out some of the speed demons from that side of thisngs.
im 20. and believe me, all those choices are great. if you think you should pick some new guitarrist, you are dead. all they do is **** an effects pedal. no technic whatsoever.
for my top 5 solos:
-Jimmy Page - Dazed and confused (if live, WOW!!)
-Yngwie malmsteen - Evil eye
-Ritchie Blackmore (deep purple) - child in time
-David Gilmoure (pink Floyd) - comfortably numb
-John Petrucci (Dream Theater) - Ytse Jam
there are countless more... satriani, vai, vaughn, hammet, of course hendrix, clapton, bbking... the list goes on and on... but for my money, those just give me the creeps...
Originally posted by Giancarlo Not really a solo, but excellent guitar playing. Queens of the Stone Age - "Go With the Flow". Come on, how many people do you know that can hold a note so long?
listen to this. i like rap music, but the song i highlighted in blue, a new(er) kid to my school played that on his guitar for the talent show friday, and i even thought it was really good, as well as everyone else in my school. well anyway, some group of preppy cheerleaders got first place. the wave of "boo" was hilarious
Just because Morello uses an effects pedal doesn't neccessarily mean he's bad. Although he's no Hendrix or Clapton, I believe that Morello is one of the best guitarists around right now. Give some credit where credit is due.
On the subject of bass guitars...anyone heard Cliff Burton's Pulling teeth (Anasthesia) bass solo on Kill 'em all?....
that was actually his audition piece when trying out for the Metallica bassist....not bad for 1983...and his live intros to For Whom the Bell Tolls is something to behold....from the early glory days of Metallica..
It's hard to narrow down to a certain # of songs (20+years of garage bands & "experimenting"), so I'll do it like this;
Don't get mad, but SRV takes Voodoo Chile to a whole new level, ESPECIALLY live!
Anything by Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Slash, Kirk Hammet Stevie Ray & of course, Jimi.
I also like Jerry Cantrell, Kim Thayhill, Joe Perry, Pepper Keenan & the guy in Prong.
Eddie fell off the throne years ago.
I could go on, but these are the guys who influence me the most.
Hell yea Sublimedood, Tom Morello is awesome. He really is one of the best right now in my opinion...I don't see how anybody can say he sucks. Oh holy ****, he uses effects... Its really quite cool to me, and he can play the regular solo stuff just fine. Listen to "Take the Power Back" on the first Rage album...its excellent.

Amen, I'd second that. The fact of the way he uses the affects and how he uses is sill pretty damn impressive, i'd like to see you doubters do what he does.
Personally I prefer the Battle Of Los Angeles Album...they're all soo good don't know which one to prefer
audioslave - like a stone (or any audioslave song)
dishwalla - charlie brown's parents
zwan - mary star of the sea
smashing pumpkins (any song)
silverchair - greatest view
