[What Would Jesus Do?]

This short video gets some right. How would you improve it?

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Cued to the lead up to the the extended instrumental guitar genius

 

[The Tradition]

 

[Moral]

Damn kids nowadays don't even know what a guitar solo is.

I don't know how to post the Youtube clips, but...

James Gang. Funk 49.

 

[Fan In Black]

I like all of Dimes solos. I llike all of Zakk Wyldes solos. I love the solos in Megadeths Wake Up Dead. I love the solo in Iron Maidens Wasted Years.

I dunno what's best.

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

Jimmy Page had some unbelievable solos at live shows. This one is probably my favorite.

 

[NewVicHawkeye]

 

[Fan In Black]

I also could have nominated this video. This is the greatest rock performance ever IMO.

 

[SSG T]

This whole song is a graduate level course on how to play blues guitar

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Gilmour’s 3 minute solo in Fat Old Sun in Live in Gdańsk. Nothing will ever top it for me. Starts ar 3:20 or so.

I'd say Gilmour's outro in Comfortably Numb in the 1994 Pulse Concert.

The correct answer is this...

Lyrics

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged high
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

[Scott559]

In no particular order, Just Solos I have always loved.

Comfortably Numb…Pulse
SRV Life without you..Live
Hitch a ride… Boston
Mark Knopfler..Tunnel of love
Clapton…Let it rain

 

[blackbones]

DAVID GIMOUR'S solo from the song (ON AN ISLAND) is EPIC..

 

[Randall Stanhope]

 

[h-hawk]

Kind of out of left field. Some fans were upset that the Carpenters had distorted guitar on one of their songs
Nice middle solo and even better outro by Tony Peluso.

 

[BelemNole]

Most bore me now, but I still crank up Sultans of Swing when it comes on.
