Your favourite guitar solo

When it comes to Bowie, Ronno was pretty extraordinary.

To say that he looked the part of a rock god is to understate it somewhat.

@raleighnut
I actually meant Earl Slick

@MntnMan62
As is Brian Setzer

I have to say I'm not much of a Brian Setzer fan.

A banger of a song, the guitar solo at about 2:00.

Same song, but this time by a cover band. Solo at about 2:00 again.

Have a listen to Michael Karoli's guitar on Verfolgung by Irmin Schmidt from the Filmmusik LP, top stuff.

You'll need the original vinyl LP, it was never released on cd except as part of the Electro Violet box set but they strangely didn't include all the tracks from the original release, missing off, in my humble opinion, the two best tracks, Verfolgung being one of them. Maybe the fact that it hasn't had a cd release is why I can't find a vid of it on YouTube, I don't know.
Anyway, search it out, it's excellent. @delb0y is in luck as I can pop it on the gramophone the next time he's round my house.

I have to agree about this guitar solo. It's the one solo where I am accustomed to using the adjective "incendiary" about it. I used to have it on vinyl but sadly don't now. I've been trying to find it online but to no avail. I've even just been in a Twitter chat with Jomo Podmore - if anyone would know, he would. He doesn't. No chance of ripping it to a digital format, I suppose 😉

It's a great track isn't it? As good as Can at the height of their power and creativity.

I too have looked online to no avail, very disappointing!

If I could do a rip I would but I don't have the kit or the knowledge.

Hendrix - Machine Gun

Steve Jones’ solo a couple minutes into God Save the Queen was perfect: punchy, powerful and direct.

 

[Profpointy]

Each and every one of the guitar concertos by Vivaldi. He really "rocked" in his time.

They're all pretty much a retread of Four Seasons though :-)

13 copies on Discogs (link)... only one in the UK though... £23.00ish

It's fairly straightforward to rip vinyl... turntable, amp, lead from headphone to mic/line-in on PC/laptop and a free bit of software called Audacity. There's plenty of YT videos. The only tricky bit is getting Audacity to listen to what you want it to hear.

Great guitaring throughout the whole song but the solo at the end could/should have continued for a few more minutes, in my humble opinion.
Drumming ain't bad, either.

it has been said that rather than writing around 800 compositions, he wrote only one, 800 times

To be fair you could say that of Philip Glass, and if being mean, even within the same piece.

Joking aside I'm still a big fan of our Phil

How about Mark Harmon playing lead on this interpretation of the Gloria Jones song, he later formed (British neo-rockabilly' band, in the late-80s
