Guitar Geezer Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 NAW! I vote for Ten Years After "Going Home" from Woodstock Lynn G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillWelcome Home Studios Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 One of the most ignored is the Paul McCarney solo on "Good Morning". Very hot and edgy, and incredibly short.

whitefang Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Never heard any of Malmsteen's work, so I couldn't vote. But, I DO go along with the mention of Alvin Lee's "Goin' Home" from Woodstock. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryrobinett Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Maybe I don't know what "extream" means but if it's anything like the word "extreme" how could you not include Derek Baily, or Pat Metheny's "Zero Tolerance for Silence", or Sonny Sharrock, Blood Ulmer, Alan Holdsworth, Pete Cosey for Miles Davis' Agharta. Not a big Malmsteen fan. But what about Hendrix' "Machine Gun" solo? He both plays his ass off and has bombs and explosions and helicopters in that too!

revolead Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Its hard to label any one solo extreme. Their are plenty of not what I would define as extreme solos that are just as challenging and/or beautiful. Malmsteen and Vai are extreme. Eric Johnson is challenging and Satriani beautiful. Labelling artists and solos/songs has long become an obsession of this forum. Its always nice to hear everyones' two cents, but classification is downright juvenile. Pinpointing people with certain descriptions, while true they may seem, is dangerous. I am a normal 18-year old guitar player. What does that make me? Am I extreme? Sometimes. Crazy? I think all great players are. Can I still play with the passion and beauty of a Stradivarius viloin, most defnintely. Everyone has desrciptions of players and gear, but we have to be careful to not limit ourselves. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has no passion or musical beauty of it's own. Depends on the fingers, heart and mind of the artist playing it. A talentless player will make the most extraordinary Strad sound like poo-poo. Besides that I think I agree with your point. All the best, Henry Robinett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groove guru Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I know this may be a little off the wall for some of you, but, Elliot Easton from The Cars played incredible solos. They always fit the song perfect and had tons of energy and style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J J Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 One of my fav. solos may have to be "since I've been lovin you" Zeppelin Of course the live version from "The Song Remains the Same" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarWolf Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 i dont know about extreme but i think the guitar solo from "No More Tears" by Mr. Ozzy Osbourne has a very nice climax to it... even though its short and very easy to play its one of my favorites!

strat0124 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Extreme is the key word I picked out, thats why I said James Blood Ulmer. I don't think the language indicated "what is your favorite solo".

Mudcat Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Most extreme solo in the context of a song you would hear on the radio - Andy Summers on "Driven to Tears" by the Police. Love that atonality! Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard. Rock hard. Eat hard. Sleep hard. Grow big.

michael saulnier Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 How 'bout Neil Young's "one note" solo in Cinnimon Girl... it's pretty "extreme" to do something like that!!! guitplayer I'm still "guitplayer"!

E-money Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I agree with guitplayer. Has to be Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl" solo. Not a bad note in it. "Politics are like sports, where all the teams suck" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
