| Favourite Guitar Solos
What're Sputnik's favourite guitar solos? Just outta curiosity, I guess. | | 1 | Coheed and Cambria
The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut
My favourite solo of all time, ever. I was going to try and mention a specific moment for
each, but in this the whole thing just rules.
The rest are unranked, but this one deserved to be here in my opinion. | | 2 | Alter Bridge
Blackbird
There's nowt like a solo that builds up well, and this builds up very, very well. The switch
from Myles' cleaner-channeled slow jam into Tremonti's ripper is amazing. | | 3 | Guns 'n' Roses
Paradise City
At 5:57, in the middle of Slash going nuts, is a pinched harmonic used well. | | 4 | The Mars Volta
L'Via L'Viaquez
The first of two featuring John Frusciante, this has no less than 3 solos across it's length, all of
which amazing in their own way. Proggy gloriousness. | | 5 | Red Hot Chili Peppers
Scar Tissue
That slide solo at the end. | | 6 | Mastodon
The Czar
The bit starting at 8:29 is such an awesome climax point, but the entire track is essentially
one awesome jam session, really. But being on Sputnik, that was probably already a given for
most. | | 7 | Ne Obliviscaris
Forget Not
Can't remember if I specified if it was guitar solo or not. Doesn't matter. The violin in this rules. | | 8 | Converge
Reap What You Sow
Hardcore solos are always good. | | 9 | Queens of the Stone Age
God Is On The Radio
Probably not nearly as good as it is in my head, but being the first solo I ever fully learnt on
guitar this has a special place for me, and is probably blown up significantly. Still, I think it's
really rather good. | | 10 | Rings of Saturn
Fruitless Existence
Fight me. I don't know whether it seems better as they finally slow down a bit for the solo at
the end of this track, or whether it is actually really good, but whenever this comes on shuffle
I always hang around for the last bit. | |
