i really like short little solos that do surprising things with texture right now
such asSmashing Punkins - Cherub RockXTC - Reel to ReelFripp's solo on St. Elmo's Fire
and a classic solo that's recently had a resurgence in my life is Nels Cline's devastating guitar explosion on the version of "Ashes of American Flags" from Kicking Television

I was thinking about the ending of Lloyd Cole/Commotions' "Forest Fire" yesterday.

My favorites are the ones I can sing along to! I try not to do this around people. Usually I fail at that.
― Evan, Friday, 20 April 2012 15:52 (fourteen years ago)
i always try to sing along to the Let It Be guitar solo and fail hard

Neil Hagerty's solo for Small Thief from Royal Trux's Pound for Pound record.
― sknybrg, Friday, 20 April 2012 23:29 (fourteen years ago)
listening to road to ruin yesterday, "don't come close" has some lovely guitar parts. but there's one wee little part where Johnny hits 3 or 4 notes and considering it's ramones it could be called a "solo" but either way they're perfect notes. and that record sure has a lot of sonic variety for just a punk group

Elliot Easton on "It's All I Can Do"
Chris Bruce or Julian Coryell, dunno, on Aimee Mann's "Dear John"

the Let It Be solo (the one on the official release) is a thing of beauty
― Iago Galdston, Saturday, 21 April 2012 17:58 (fourteen years ago)
^^ OTM. easy and satisfying to play too. imma do that.

Karl Precoda rules! Love "Halloween".

ditto on the "Gypsy" solo, its goofy simplicity makes me lol but i love it nonetheless

Lindsey B - the last 5 minutes of "I'm so Afraid" from the Live at Bass Performance Hall-record.
― Mule, Monday, 23 April 2012 21:33 (fourteen years ago)
Woah yeah, that's ridiculous. Lindsey's so great - cosign on Gypsy, and I love his gentle countryish solos on Landslide and Over & Over.

"Maggot Brain" is of course an all timer. For me, I get a charge out of Mascis's solo on "The Lung" every time, super lyrical and kickass.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 14:38 (fourteen years ago)
y'all gonna hate but i don't care. love this one, starting at 4:10

that's actually pretty great. but the slow walk down the platform/gross sex faces are a big turnoff
― caulk the wagon and float it, Thursday, 26 April 2012 11:20 (fourteen years ago)
One that I heard on the IPod while working out today is Radio Birdman's "New Race" I assume its Denis Tek. That's an unhinged solo.

"When You Smile" by Precoda/Dream Syndicate or maybe "The Big Ship" by Fripp/Eno.
