    Let It Be - Beatles

    All Or None - PJ (msg 2)

    Alive, Even Flow, Ledbetter, Black.

    Live versions, studio versions, they all rule. Well, the live solos for black are AMAZING. The studio recording is great too, except the solo is equal level to all the other stuff going on.

    Soul To Squeeze - RHCP

    Talk Dirty To Me - Poison

    Yeah, that's right, I said poison. It was the first "rock" song I learned to play the whole way through.

    Always With Me, Always With You-Satch

    You appreciate this song SO much after you practice it for four hours and still can't get it to sound just right. lol.

    hmmm...that's all I can think of for now.

  • Led Zeppelin - 'Stairway to Heaven', It's not my favorite but I'm learning it now

    My favorite is hard to say... all the PJ solos.
    Riverside.. LA.. California. EV?
  • Though short, I'd say Rolling Stones: Sympathy for the Devil. Maybe it's just the overall sound of the song that gives it the energy, but it's my favorite.

    how could Hendrix's 'Machine Gun' be left out!?!? :eek:
    Time does rock, how about all of obscured by clouds or childhoods end? and some versions of (with dave) astronomy domine and of course there's the brilliance of the atom heart mother suite

    there's many more but my mind is drawing blanks
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Stairway To Heaven-Overall production & structure
    Under a glass moon-Dream Theater-The Sickest Technique In A Song
    Missing You-HSAS(Neil Schon)-Pure fire & fury in every note. Very Underrated player
    The Loner-Gary Moore- Same basic melody he used in many songs, but perfected finally. Not a bad note anywhere in this song.

  • i must say that the 'Them Bones' solo is one of the most fun, structured solos, i have ever played.
  • The instrumental ending of "Alive" is - hands down- the greatest coda in the history of rock music-- "Layla", of course, coming close.

    Another mind blowing modern rock giutat solo/ instrumental is the work on Radiohead's "Paranoid Android". Christ Almighty, they had to have just been emotional and drained after creating that.

    Have you seen the Jimi Plays Berkeley DVD? They absolutely butcher HMTAC! These fuckin "Experience Hendrix" releases suck ass hole! This song is supposed to be three times as long. They cut most of the solo out and is painfull to watch if your used to the full version.

    Not all of the Experience releases are bad, in fact a bunch of them are great. It is a really sad and pathetic story nonetheless and I wish there was a way for Leon to get some of the profits.
    Berkeley was OK, the recent re-release of all the studio albums with the real liner notes are awesome. The jimi blues CD is killer as well. They are going to milk this until its got nothing left to give.

    Yeah I forgot to specify. I meant the DVD's I've seen from Exp. Hendrix. The CDs are pretty good.
