F@*k the haters - guitar solos are the shit

That whole song is pretty much one 9 minute guitar solo…

This! That whole album is full of amazing solos. This song in particular is crazy:

Chimera Guitar Playthrough - Polyphia

This song has a killer solo around 2:04.

I love the solo in this song. It’s just so fun. 2:07 or so.

oh, well…

If I wind up in a place where there is only one guitar player to listen to ever, I will know I’ve died and gone to hell. But if it had to be so, it’d be Bill Frisell, hands down.
Playing drums here is the absolute master, Jim Keltner sounding like some mythological creature…

Love the guitar intro here - some enka styling and killer vibrato

At one point last year I was walking past the Jackie Robinson Tennis Courts on Utica Avenue in Bed-Stuy and a group of elderly people were arranged in lines on one of the courts, doing slow taichi while a boombox in front was playing this guitar solo. I just stopped to watch and marvel. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that.

So many great Dimebag solos but I think this is one of the best ones.

Robert Quine killed it on this Scritti track. His wild, nearly out of control style juxtaposed quite nicely with the slick production

Green’s not a bad guitar soloist himself
