The Dolman Pragmatist Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 You could pick any number of solos by Mark Knopfler. I was never a great Dire Straits fan, but whenever I’ve seen film of Knopfler playing solo I’m always astonished by his technique and lyricism.

One Team In Keynsham Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Must admit, I don't actually have a favourite guitar solo from any of my favourite songs. That said, I do realise Prince was pretty special in this clip, from about 3'30 in. The man was an absolute genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but then the punx joined in, some of them anyway. OK he was no Carlos Santana, but John Perry's solos on The Only Ones 'Another Girl Another Planet' were special at the time. And Jake Burns' lead break on 'Johnny Was' from SLF's first album blew me away. Who knew you could do that? I needed to practise more!! It's at 3:22 on this, if you can be arsed.

redsince1994 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Solo at 1:40 gives me goosebumps. Harmonising the first note and a very simple yet melodic bit of guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly one of the greatest guitarist (certainly the greatest finger picker?) of recent times from these shores. Sultans of Swing, I mean which live version is best. Alchemy, Live Aid or Nelson Mandella when he's got Clapton playing as Rhythm. Might edge for Live Aid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Med/MadHatter Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Shoe horning this one in as the intro to Van Halens cover of "You really got me" but Eruption totally blew me away when I first heard it at the Colston Hall when VH were supporting Black Sabbath, I can still remember the "WTF is this!" had no idea who this band were at the time, loved them from that moment on, well, when Diamond Dave were in them, not so much the Van Hagar stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
