[Closed] while we are on the subject-- recommend me a blistering yet soulful guitar solo

yes! time for bed 😀 thanks for keeping me up people....awesome tunes!

cinnamon_girl hits the nail on the head with the first reply.

Try "Sloe Gin" by Joe Bonamassa. Loud. Utterly sublime.

ah man was going to go to bed....but its sunny! shocker!
mayhaps a ride will wake me up if only i could take spotify with me!

Joe Bonamassa again...

'Reconsider Baby', from the album Had to Cry Today.

Alternatively, Rory Gallagher's 'A Million Miles Away' from the album, Irish Tour. Or Free's 'Mr. Big' from Free Live.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's Little Wing - just fabulous. Powerful but delicate, surging emotion. Definitive, for me.

Little Caesar were a class '80's / '90s rock band, esp. this album;

Good songs here, but the cover version of 'I Wish It Would Rain' (NOT of the Phil Collins song) has an immense solo on it, guitarist called himself Apache & left after this album.
Unfortunately I can't search for it here at work ( 🙄 ), but definitely worth a listen if you like to make devil-horn hand gestures!

since i been loving you- live on song remains the same ,live at madison sqaure garden- led zepplin

turn the lights off, find this track and turn it right up:

john butler trio: ocean

12 minutes of awesomeness 8)

in fact, anything off his first album ('john butler') is pretty much spot on for soulful guitar solo's and fingerpicking style.

Allman Brothers - Stormy Monday
Rory Gallagher - Who's that coming
Cream - Spoonful (live)
Santana - lots
Peter Green - lots
Derek & the Dominos - Key to the highway
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
JJ Cale - Carry on
Hendrix - Red house
Mountain - Crossroader (live)
SRV - Stans swang
.........

Another vote for Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb but has to be the live version on "Pulse" - turn the volume to 11 and just sit back 🙂

a second vote for Stormy Monday by the Allman Brothers Band
Joyful noise by the Derek Trucks band

Santana - Samba Pa Ti

+1 for Thin Lizzy - Still in love with you
Acoustic solo on end of Turn of the century on Going for the one by Yes
Inside looking out by Grand funk railroad
Rock bottom by UFO on Strangers in the night
La villa strangiato by Rush on Exit stage left
Limelight by Rush
anything by Rush

I agree with Gary_C in that it HAS to comfortably numb and I also agree with Norfolk-In-Chance in that it HAS to be Live

BUT... not from the pulse tour... it has to be from the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" live album

Which also includes many other great solos, you should buy it now...

Speed You Black Emperor[/url]

Not on Spotify mind.

thanks twohats 😀
and everyone else, this is an epic playlist!

Anyone mentioned Gary Moore - Parisian Walkways, or anything by him cos all have ace guitar solo's..

The Damned 'Smash It Up'

eh? great song(s) yes, but blistering soulful guitar solo?

ahhh... think 'Smash it up' part 1... the just the guitar and bass playing together to begin with, later joined by the drums...

Part 2 kicks in when Mr. Vanian screams 'smash it up!'

Sympathy for the devil, the live version from get your ya ya's out. Too many by Neil Young but the Weld album is a good place to start as I think he's better when he's live. Marc Ford when he was with the Black Crowes. Pretty much anything from the second album but Wiser Time from Amorica is my favourite. Can't beat a bit of slide.

Cream (Eric Clapton) - Crossroads

Santana - Samba Par Ti

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Pride and Joy

[url=

NILS LOFGREN [/url] I'm not a fan of his but this is one of the best pieces of guitar playing I've heard , the live version is stunning through a decent HiFi system.

and [url=

I am the resurrection [/url] one of my favourite songs. 8)

da funk

UFO - 'Love to Love' from Strangers in the Night
Anything by Zakk Wylde/Black Label Society
Van Halen - 'I'm the one' from the first album - supposedly Eddie throwing the whole kitchen sink into one solo

glenp - totally agree about srv's Little Wing - I get shivers!

nick1c/manitou - didn't know the Allman Brothers covered the classic Stormy Monday. A link to it at all please?

Allman Brothers - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from the Filmore Concerts cd.

People have already mentioned them but Sorrow and Comfortably Numb from Delicate Sound of Thunder are stunning.

Also, for sheer mind-blowingness Stevie Ray Vaughan - Rude Mood.
Pretty much anything played by Randy Rhoads but in particular from the live Tribute album: Mister Crowley; Children of the Grave; Revelation (Mother Earth)

Metallica: Fade to Black; Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Eagles: Hotel California
Iron Maiden: Powerslave
Pantera: Cemetary Gates

Wishbone Ash "Throw down the sword" from Argus

One off the first albums I bought!

Believer by Viva Voce. I never knew women could play the guitar The album version's a little bit tame but live it's phenomenal, like Buddy Guy turned up to 11.

Loads of great songs on here. I would also add a couple that spring to mind:

Pink Floyd - coming back to life
Slightly left field but Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush - I love Andy Fairweather Lowe's guitar solo at the end. Simple, melodic, understated but gorgeous.

Stormy Monday is from: The Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East (also check out the tracks on Eat A Peach from the same concerts)
