Great Solos

[bank5]

It seems like mainstream music is moving more towards overproduced pop and away from extraordinary musicians. Here's a thread to post some of your favorite solos.

Great solo in here around the 2:57 mark.

YouTube - Metallica Seek & Destroy live @ Pinkpop 2008 [Great Quality]

 

[Stevewc]

Lots of good solo's out there but this one came to mind. Steely Dan
Since some of my other favotites were already listed.

I was listening to some older Beatles tunes earlier today and began to realize I never gave George Harrison his due repect for all the fine Guitar work he added to the group. Seems like lots more credit was given to John & Paul.

YouTube - Steely Dan - "Reeling In The Years"

I don't know how you paste things from YouTube here but check out one of my favorites, Maria Callas singing "Casta Diva" from "Norma".

 

[Stevewc]

I'm trying to find a better copy with the original members but they are hard to come by.
Oh well, I guess this one will be my best bet.

A lot of their music was recorded live so quality is not great. One heck of a jam band.

YouTube - ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND Statesboro Blues

YouTube - Duane allman solo- Allman brothers

Must not forget Duane Allman played on this too.

YouTube - Jay & The Americans - Cara Mia

You guys are just too young. Here's Jay Black from Jay and the Americans. Kenny Vance who is one of my favorite singers is in the back up group.

Age has nothing to do with it. Some people enjoy a wide variety of music across the ages. Still looking for the solo what mark did you find it at?

When I first looked at the title of this thread, I thought it said "Great Sobs" I need to get my eyes checked.

btw...great tunes!

How bout a drum solo battle with
Gene Kruppa and Buddy Rich
YouTube - Buddy Rich vs Gene Krupa Drum Battle

 

[Stevewc]

Fantastic drum work.
Toward the end of the last solo, I was checking out the bass drum work. Really fast and very good.
Before the invention of the double bass pedal too.

Just noticed a couple of the Allman Brother links are gone.
Not sure if they were removed by the Mod's or not?
May have to visit youtube to see them.

Nope, not removed by us.

Well maybe I'll put them back up then.
Didn't know if I broke a rule or something?
I've been known to bend a few, but try to not actually break them
Thanks for the info,
Steve

PS. Just tried to put the Allman Brothers song back up and got the same disconnect.
Must be something happening on the YouTube end.

I didn't know how to do this either, so I searched it out. What a shock to listen to this after all the rock and roll.

YouTube - Casta Diva -- Maria Callas (Best)

Here's how.

YouTube will continue to remove them. As I understand it, if the owner of the linked material objects they disable the ability to see the clip from any other site other than YouTube.

 

[IndependentlyPoor]

Here's something from of my favorite albums. I've heard that he had to fight to keep it true to his minimalist concept.

YouTube - Willie Nelson - Moonlight in Vermont

 

[HFWR]

This one's not too bad...

YouTube - Robin Trower - Too Rolling Stoned - 1975

 

[HFWR]

Some pickin' from Albert Lee...

YouTube - Albert Lee Country boy

 

[HFWR]

And Vince Gill...

YouTube - What The Cowgirls Do - Vince Gill

 

[Stevewc]

OK how about Alvin Lee (Group is: Ten Years After)
So I guess I should dedicate this one to: audreyh1
Since she's celebrating 10 yrs in retirement
Lets see if you tube lets this one stay posted.
Steve

YouTube - Ten Years After live at Woodstock 1969.

 

[Rustic23]

It takes a min. to get to the singing/

YouTube - Barbara Padilla * 4th Quarter Final * America's Got Talent 2009 HD

 

[Max Power]

Hard to not include Eric Johnson. The first 3 minutes of this are pretty laid back and then he really rips into it.


YouTube - Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover - live 1990

 

[Max Power]

And he doesn't disappoint the country fans either...


YouTube - Eric Johnson - Steve's Boogie (1988 live from austin tx)

We need some bottom in this set! Bass solos tend not to be highly considered, mostly they make everyone else around them better. But this guy made bass a lead instrument! RIP.

YouTube - John Entwistle bass solo
