You guys get to cerebral about this. What about the solo in Bohemian rhapsody, I know nothing about guitars and flange pedals and whatever crap you people go on about who are into this stuff, but from sheer laymans terms, thats a rollicking good tune he's whipping up there.

sorry to go OT on this, but whose the skouser looking dude in the red t-shirt with the black (who'd have guessed) leather jacket, in the middle of this pic that was posted earlier in the thread?

Stariani, Malmsteen, Van Halen and co are technical masters but they don't seem to cut it really.
I prefer some soul and heart: Hendrix, Young, Drake.

sorry to be a bit of a music nerd but.....
guitars were originally used for playing whole pieces of music (like lute suites etc) which involed bass, chordal and melody parts played together, ie 3in1 to make the piece.
It was much later on in the twentieth century that guitar players tried to emulate instruments like saxaphones which could only play one note at a time. Single note soloing was born.So really saying what's the best guitar solo is kinda pointless. The real question should be what's the best instrumental solo?

Come on - we know what we're all talking about here.

all I'm saying is the guitar is one instrument. It produces the same 12 notes as other instruments, so is the fact that it's played on a guitar relevant. You could play the bohemian rhapsody solo on a keyboard, it would still be the same musically, just different tonally.
Anyway I don't know why I'm making this point, I love Van Halen and have learnt pretty much every solo but still.
check my site for proof!
