kizanski 15,233 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Someone mentioned the Candy-O solo in the "Iconic Guitar Solos" thread, and it got me thinking down this road.Easton's "Candy-O" solo is definitely near the top for me.Up there with that one (in no particular order):Novarro's lick in "Been Caught Steeling"Summers' "Driven To Tears" soloBryan Bassett in "Play That Funky Music, White Boy"Fishbone's Kendall Jones in "One Day"Whomever it was that was filling in for Ace Frehley on "All-American Man"Certainly I've missed at least a few.Your faves?

Bass Guy Dave 200 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 More 'Solo Guitar' rather than 'Guitar Solo', and one of my biggest spine-chill licks is the little fragment leading into the end of "Got to get you into my life." LOVE that lick and tone, though I've never actually learned to play it.Another favorite less-is-more solo is from Joan Jett's "I love Rock and Roll."My current benchmark for not-a-single-wasted-note would probably by Ty Tabor's lead on "Mississippi Moon" from King's Xs "Ear Candy" album.I can't hear a mention of Fishbone without thinking of THE sickest, funkiest, out-of-control bass solo I've heard in "Bonin' in the Boneyard.' Straight from the heart...or lower.Good thread. Link to post Share on other sites

serial 3,631 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 You nailed two of my faves Kiz-as soon as I saw the title, I thought of "Candy-O" and "Driven to Tears". How about Pete T on "Summertime Blues"?I've always dug the shorty solo on Liz Phair's "Supernova" too. Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchman 2,327 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'm still partial to Skunk Baxter's stuff from the 70's, and Don Felder is still a legend for awesome tasty chops.My ultimate hero is Les Paul, I've spent a lifetime trying to learn what he did in a few years.

darc 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 "Get In, Get It Done & Get Out of the Way" That description makes me think of Iommi on "Country Girl". Not much compositionally, maybe, but he just rolls in blazing, 3 seconds later the high E-string is off the side of the fingerboard ("meedley-MEEE"), and he's out. Love that. On the opposite end of the spectrum ("Get In, Get an Entirely New Piece of Music Composed & Get Out Roughly Four Days Later") - Fripp on Eno's "Baby's on Fire". Link to post Share on other sites
