What is the best guitar solo that a human has ever performed?Is it Domination? 3:10https://youtu.be/mDATU5_jeC0?t=189Or is it Beat It? 2:45https://youtu.be/ftCalx6_pYA?t=162I can't decide.Or is it something else entirely? They're the only two songs I've considered so far but maybe you know a better one.

The one in cinnamon girl by Neil young
Domination has a killer breakdown, the solo is good but not the greatest of all time.I'm going to go with mr crowley. Randy was on a different level. The right amount of riffing, soloing, and melody. Beautiful melodies.https://youtu.be/G3LvhdFEOqs?si=Z0t88srYKx63T6Yd
https://youtu.be/aGf5NxLQoEo?t=127
>>123676235that's up there.personal favs for me are Vic Vergeat's solo on They Say I'm Mad, which is just absolutely unhinged in this way I haven't heard from any other playerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFQUyhKtSBIAnd also Poem 58 by the legendary Terry Kathhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8aJiLUaWGI
It's been Tornado of Souls for me. I don't care if it's normie tier, it always gives me goosebumps
>>123681179Yeah. Good pick.I like Blackmore's on highway star as well
>>123676022Trem de doido, even though it just kind of stops.
>>123681225>I like Blackmore's on highway star as wellI never gave it a listen before. The progression sounds really cool, and Blackmore leads with an awesome melody
This is one of my favouriteshttps://youtu.be/G_vkMH7mFio?t=225I'm just hearing it again now after like 20 years too. I could never remember what it was called but I just found it then somehow. The band is the solo project of the lead singer from dream theatre.

>>123676022Impossible to say.
>>123676022It's the Destroying the Cosmos solo by Vektor from the album Black Future. Starts at 5:38 and lasts until the end of the song.https://youtu.be/ku3rcVFyQzw?feature=shared&t=338
>>123682117I always preferred In Blooms solo desu
>>123676022probably chiron by all that remains? it's a master piece.that's one example
Page's on Heartbreaker
The only thing Dave Mustaine ever positively contributed to the world was adding Marty Friedman to Megadeth so he could play Tornado of Souls.
>>123676022I think the Beat It solo sounds kind of phoned in. Like Van was just dicking around, I don't think it fits the music that well either
>>123676022It's the one I perform on your mom-love dad

https://youtu.be/cSZf8ZYHV7o?t=288the story I heard was that dimebag came home drunk and improvised that solo in one take and went to bed. Maybe that makes it the best.

>>123684637>I don't think it fits the music that well eitherbit of trivia for you: that solo was actually a composite that was cut and pasted together (on tape) by producer Quincy Jones from various parts of a recording that EVH made jamming over the track. You correctly picked up that the solo sound a bit out of place with the backing chords behind it. That's why. Steve Lukather tells the story that EVH and his engineer accidentally ruined the master tape of Beat It that Quincy had sent them, so they had to remake the track keeping only MJ's vocal from the original. I've always felt that song sounds a bit stiff, rhythmically. This explains why. Recording a backing to an already recorded vocal would be way harder than recording a vocal to a backing. https://youtu.be/UmL94Rysp9k

im partial to heavy guitar effects solos likehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K7Tmc7wnw8then theres songs like Dogs or Sheep from Floyd which arent the best but have those individual moments that elevate them above most like at 5:30 to 6:35ish in dogs. Also love my sharona solo, marquee moon, shit summer babe from pavement in the middle is killer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pFdkkjGiEsStarts at 2:40
>>123676235havent heard this in years but back when I was huge into parliament, hendrix, zeppelin and all the other classics maggot brain seemed overrated to me, guess ill give it a good honest listen
just finished maggot brain and I gotta say it has its moments but for an emotional song where the dude thought about his dead mother its too wanky in a forceful black guy sort of way>>123690525god this guy is good but so overrated and boring most of the time>>123695275that is fascinating, so the best version of beat it was lost forever?
you can shit on Kirk all you want but his solo throughout the 80s were something else
>>123676235Maggot brain is 90% pentatonic noodling with diarrhea reverb. This is like the first solo people mention when they don't want to name a more popular or actually good solo. Feels more like people bring it up because hes LE BLACK. Can you imagine!
>>123700338thankgod somebody says it, definitely a solo where the production and tone does it no favors
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqZNk5NSkYwI will never fucking understand how a gimmick-themed bodybuilder from the 70's got a hold of this fucking guy for his heavy metal band.
Jane's Addiction - Three Dayshttps://youtu.be/0Wy8em8OySI?t=281>>123700338I think that the really sad thing about this, it's that people haven't really listened to Funkadelic at all, so they can't name any solo from him. When it comes to a black guitarist wanking I'd go with Tony MacAlpine https://youtu.be/Se_4q2GaagE?t=725
>>123676022>Or is it Beat It?Men, Eddie has a bunch better than that in: Girl gone bad, I'm the one, Loss of control, Mean Street, Push comes to shove, Top Jimmy, Drop Dead Legs, Women in Love, Dirty Movies, Sinner's Swing
Eruption by Eddie Van Halen

>>123700226>that is fascinating, so the best version of beat it was lost forever?yes. It's extraordinary they managed to build a new track around the original vocal like that.

>>123701722the most dad tier response, my dad adores Eruption but fuck I'll take half of van halens classics solos over that, Drop Dead Legs and Hot for Teacher have god tier solos
>>123712262nah
>>123705058he should listen to more John Fahey, that guy knew how to take a solo acoustic tune and turn it into something much granderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSh-YsyjpXk

>>123676022>https://youtu.be/mDATU5_jeC0?t=189Powerful but extremely generic> Beat It?Only shit/popularCombination between complicated and melodic, play this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAdWG6k4Fqc&t=124sand especially this part (second solo)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAdWG6k4Fqc&t=231sOther nearby examples that beat your own songs are the same Floods by PanteraOr even this onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QA30qkRYy8&t=328s

MACHINE GUN
>>123676022https://youtu.be/kx_FE0U2TeM?si=KxwmukZlJd7vZrCd&t=116i know Allan filters a lot of people but there's something deeply unnerving in this guitar solo and the chord progression accompanies it. like falling into an endless abyss. the part where Allan just ran through the chromatic scale with the drum got more intense is insane.
