Comfortably Numb... Not even anything close.
Has to be Paradise City. I love the ending of that song, whatever scale Slash is doing(I think that's what it's called) is pretty sick. Any of you guys able to pull that off?
conspiracy theorist believes that's not slash at the end of Paradise City.
At that point in his playing career, everything is based in the minor pent scale... suddenly he whips out an insane CC DeVille run, overdubbed, immediately followed with his standard simple-based leads again? WTF key is that run in? Aeolian into Mixolydian with a phrygian twist near the end just for extra tastiness? LOL
Sorry, I love slash, he's my favorite guitarist every BY A MILE... I have 3 slash channels on Pandora, listen to him on the way to every show... I know lyrics to freakin' Snakepit songs lol....
BUT I truly believe an expert technical player like CC or Vinnie Moore or someone unknown was brought in to overdub that lead at the end of Paradise City. Doesn't even sound like his Les Paul, the wah tone is off, the overall part just doesn't sit or fit with anyhing he was playing back in 1986, and I've never seen him match that live in any of the early shows. They smelled a single and just decided to let another player add that blazing run when they heard the epic-needed slash ouotro was just a series of blues runs. They needed to be epic there.
(And, if he was that capable back in 1986, why did he never play that kind of insane run in any of the OTHER GN'R songs where it may have actually fit? Sweet Child of Mine would have blazed with an odd emotional run, but voila, he stays compeltely in the box on that song too, even on the big run before the solo switches rhythem patterns halfway too with the cool climax.)
It's a cool run, but I might lean toward Estranged outro solo as one of his best. Nov Rain of course, that outro is Epic Epic, but overplayed thanks to radio.
pantera floods.
fast forward to 6:15

CC Deville is an expert technical player? You sure about that one?
Agree with Yngi-we - he knows his stuff.
Btw, I really like the solo of "sweet child o mine" - fantastic.
Great solos are also Dimebag's on Cemetary Gates, Gerry Ging's on Ghosts Of War and Hanneman's on In Praise Of Death.
If you're into cheese metal than Accept's guitarist also has nice stuff.
Last but not least, Judas Priests' guitar tandem is probably created the most awesome array of guitar solos/licks ever - even better than Elvis :D

man has his soul in his fingers
The outro solo is Mixolydian & it was played by Steve Lukather, as was the intro to Sweet Child O mine.
Slash tried to, but couldn't play those well enough, so they secretly asked Steve to do those.
Heard this direct from a semi inebriated Steve at a NAMM after party in 2001 & have no need to doubt him.
Just compare Slash's playing on the entire album & then to the outro solo. The outro is a HUGE step better in chops than anything Slash did or could do, technically at that point.
Katy Perry, ROAR

Wolf Hoffman has a great feel and sense of melody. Always liked his playing and I'm a big Accept fan.PRIEST,,,always liked desert plains ,diamond and rust'live 'version,screaming for vegenance whole cd is great...
I love Priests' solos. In particular some of their earlier 70's material. eg Dreamer Deceiver, Beyond the Realms of Death. Other great solos are Electric Eye, both solos to Rock Hard Ride Free and of course, Painkiller. Too many to name though, and technically, not outro solos.
Woah!!!
Eh, Warrant brought him in to play the Cherry Pie solo, I think.
I've never touched a $50 dollar Fender Stratocaster in my life... never...
Yeah, I got a chuckle out of that one.
Back in the day it was rumored that his crappy solos were played by a studio musician and they were still crappy.
re: the original q -
Freebird, Sultans of Swing and Hotel California have great outro solos if you're talking classic rock, specifically.
Mr. Crowley and Tonight by Randy Rhoads have great outro solos if you're talking classic metal.
Uh oh.... a music theory discussion....
I'm out..... I promise!
Nope. I've never touched a $50 dollar Fender Stratocaster in my life... never...

Comfortably Numb... Not even anything close.Would have to definitely go with this. Definitely the most recognizable in Classic/Commercial Rock. I also love Floods.

Then you would love my mint condition '62 Strat (a real one) with hang tags still on it.
you can seriously play mate awesome
sounds like that 50 dollar guitar is going through a pretty serious rig which helps
Great job man. You nailed it.

Doesn't Gilmour also use scalloped

One guy, by himself, on-stage, with an electric guitar, entertaining a crowd, I'll take Rik Emmet over anybody:fight the good fight/lay it on the line/never surrender..guy jammed.
My friend in my old band still has the sea foam green Jem with the
grab handle....says he will never sell it..
I always thought Jimmy Page's solo in Stairway To Heaven was fantastic. A simple solo in minor pentatonic that just flows beautifully.
Take this with grain of salt, I'm drummer of 30+ years not guitarist......
I most enjoy listening to the playing of Vai (Passion & Warfare era), Thordendal (Meshuggah, chunky 8 string Ibanez sound) and Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom). These are a few recording artists who I will go out of my way just to listen to their guitar parts.
I am in no way implying any of them are "greatest ever"....... But to a non guitar playing layperson I enjoy all of them immensely.
I mean no disrespect to the established great players....just curious what the Getbig guitarists' take is on these guys.
I love guitars, but when it comes to gigging, I don't bother with the les pauls anymore. This one guitar does it all. From naples ritz-carlton to down and dirty dive bars. acoustic beauty/grace to metal in a fraction of a second.
stairway intro was very much stolen. listen to the original + seeing as they toured together first lol. Totally stole that riff.
man i totally agree.... that guitar work is haunting, full of emotion and soul...Bullshit. Just a basic scale modification run through an effects pedal, no talent whatsoever. Any high school kid could come up with something similar.
hotel cali was probably the longest, toughest solo i've recently learned. Took about a week of looping each night to have it memorized. Standing applause about half the time when i play it live now. people dont' see that much, and awesome climatic ending.
back in the day, i learned most of the Vinnie moore meltdown tape, using the book. took months. loved that stuff.
Bullshit. Just a basic scale modification run through an effects pedal, no talent whatsoever. Any high school kid could come up with something similar.
How long did it take you to learn the sweet child o' mine solo? took me fucking ages.
forgot to mention two classic solos for ending songs: little wing and purple rain...took me a long time to nail those songs down too.
Like I said, I didn't follow the story. If you have a vid or recording it would be cool to listen to.
Who was the band that (supposedly) wrote it? I guess I could Google.
Stairway has to be the most known rock song in the world. I can't imagine anything coming of it in a court of law, but I'd love to hear the original band or.. whatever... whoever.. is sueing..
PAGE has many pieces he rocks/strums its staggering,,i mean 'since iv've been loving you'has great sound,lemon song/rain song one of those two.achilles last stand/nobody's fault but mine...

My idol is Frank Gambale. He's just too far out there for me to ever come close...
Yup. Randy California is long dead but I think his estate is still pursuing it.

You can love it, hate it, be indifferent about it, listen as an afterthought, obsess on it...
It is an amazing thing.
I think life would suck ass without music. Can't even imagine it.

STYX Crystal BallLove it, Tommy Shaw and James Young never get any love.
Vai's an unarguable freak. Thordendal is indeed an amazing player and musician. And Laiho is something special, no question.
Thanks for the feedback.
As a drummer I often get many peeps who tell me Tommy Lee or Travis Barker are in their eyes the most amazing players which makes me cringe. I understand that to a non drummer these guys are probably the be all/end all.
Since I am a non-guitarist I don't have the perspective of being an actual guitarist when judging other players.
Laiho blows my mind in COB, just something about his style of shred that stands out to me. Thordendal and Vai slay me too for different reasons.
What about the guitarist for Suicidal Tendencies? How good is he and How will I laugh tomorrow song? Under rated.
I have a friend that host's a radioshow in Denmark. Told him about the 'ghost guitarist' theory about Slash.
And next week I am probably going to be the 'expert' in a bit revolving it. Could use a little helt regarding the theoretical Stuff 😊
Well, shoot me a PM...Thanks a lot, Will do that. Currently on vacation on The Faroe Islands, Reading Bout ghost guitarists.
I don't wanna read all the B.S again about how "this is a bodybuilding board"
If U R serious... of course. Ask whatever.
People would actually be amazed at the ghost guitarists and singers.
Skid Row and Warrant were prime examples.
So many bands have had other guitarist do their shit in the studio, and they couldn't even come close to duplicity on stage... it was a "look" not a sound.
Having a ghost guitarist would be very easy for A LOT OF "PLAYERS" .... so EZ. 99% of the audience wouldn't know.
We aren't talking EVH or SRV or Vai quality here. Talking "run of the mill" guitarists that just fit equally in a band. No virtuoso shit like Yngwie.. etc.

Jerry Lewis was a great drummer... and Buddy Rich was probably the best drummer of all time... let's put it this way: He was what Hendrix is to guitar playing. He started it all...
Post it here, would like to read. I suppose it's a very common thing, but don't know any confirmed facts of famous bands cheating.Would love to see it also. Please post it.
Would love to see it also. Please post it.
He did.
Well, there is no guitar solo in that song... great tune, but...
I always like some kind of definitive solo, even if it's just a few identifying notes.
Very mellow tune. Could drive to it. Suppose a movie could end to it...
Not really my cup of tea, but hey, I love music. He's good.
Remix has no solo but the original version has a killer one starting off with some 8 finger tapping. Rocky George was one of my favs back in the day. Original version starts rockin' at about 3 min in with the solo a min or 2 after.
Thanks for the feedback.What do you think of Mike Portnoy? Great or show off?

I lived in So Cal for 15 years... sorry, but it's not the type of thing that is written about.
I can tell you this, if you are a musician, you can listen closely to the guitar solo's from ANY of their albums and then compare to live recordings.
We aren't talking mistakes, being fucked up... etc, etc, we are talking about technical ability that was non-existent.
I don't wanna start an arguement, and BTW, those bands are gone, not even TRYING to gig (like Ratt in Vegas lounges)... nothing.
We all knew what was going on because we were in Eddie Van Halen mode, Yngwie mode, Friedman mode, Vinnie Moore, etc, etc...
We saw these guys and heard them and what they were capable of.
I'll give you the best example: The outro from Warrant to "Heaven" ... perfect example of a particular studio guitarist.
If you want me to name-drop, I can do that a bit. You can read about it from there, but he won't be specific: Tommy Tedesco or even Jeff Baxter (who actually did play live with the Doobie Bros, but did a lot in the studio for multiple guitarists) Jeff Baxter also played solos for Steely Dan and the Eagles (in the studio)
Can't prove it, sorry.
Being a great guitarist, what do you think of the outro of the Meat Puppets song Backwater Or Shine by Collective Soul?
What do you think of Mike Portnoy? Great or show off?
As far as outro solos go.
I am sure that Steve Rothery of Marillion has great ones. For the life of it I just can't remember any outro ones right now.
Forgottens Sons and Grendel end pretty much in a solo?
“Rosanna” by Toto.
Lukather is The Man.
Comfortably Numb... Not even anything close.
“Rosanna” by Toto.Yes he is.
Lukather is The Man.
:);D
Let's see—the solo on "How Do The Fools Survive" on the Doobie Brothers' Minute By Minute surprised me because that was a one-take job, where I just smoked a joint and was alone by myself with an engineer working in another room. It was one of those lean-back-and-play things.
