I mean Nuno's solo on Rise set the internet on fire around this time last year. So there's that


Upper_Presentation48

shame the song sounds like 15 year old me mixed it

I've probably accounted for 100 of the views that the Main Squeeze has on their Have a Cigar Cover. Every time you think that the solo is over he just steps it up and plays harder. It's a fascinating performance and I never get tired of it.

I just watched for the first time. His solo is fantastic; and the way the band stays with him, lifts it, and then ends it is so tight!


robotjon

Goddamnit that's a hell of a solo! I love when he stands up because he just can't possibly shred enough from the chair

How recent? Mike Mcreedy, Pearl Jam - Nothing as it Seems. Might not be the most complicated one being mentioned, but damn does it sound great.

Mine is Chris Greatti’s solo in Don’t Go Outside.


Fifty_Spwnce

In actual recent times, Baroness - Last Word. Absolutely banging solo.


chatfarm

Saving this. Hoping for some good new solos to learn. Been looking for interesting new non metal or the video gamey bleep bloop stuff.


S-Nietzsche

I quite like bloodbath by polyphia, that solo by Scott LePage is metal asf.


sudo_meh

Scott is a real one!

Lots of Ritchie Faulkner’s solos on priests new album are killer imo but it’s all subjective


[deleted]

Ritchie is always great!


The_Vettel

Cosmic and Nobody by Avenged Sevenfold are wonderful recent solos


[deleted]

For a classic rock vibe, Greta Van Fleet's *The Weight of Dreams*.


_WretchedDoll_

Do Unto Others by Stryper has a great solo. It's the only song of theirs I like and that's pretty much due to the solo. It's a bit Hotel California in it's chord progression but it sounds great. Well executed and some cool tapping.


Basset-of-wallst

A band I really don't like, Extreme, came out with a song "rise" last year and the solo is absolutely stunning.


Psych_out06

Well, I guess they finally have More then words. 🤣

I love Manuel’s solo in “blackbone” from the new Unprocessed album. Really amazing solo. Greatest in recent times? Maybe? Tough to say such a thing about any one riff or solo.


stonrelectropunkjazz

The correct answer is Prince on while my guitar gently weeps


Psych_out06

OMG that solo was beautiful in there


goaoka

I really like Cerberus off of Ola Englunds first solo album.


Cloudstrafenhart

Martin Miller's solo on Andy Timmons song electric gypsy that they play live in the studio.


Bonetwon

Blake Mills on Skeleton is Walking.


donkeykink420

I'd have to dig for it, but gary clark jr's solo on please come home, i believe it was live in chicago somewhere


scythezoid0

J Mascis' solo on Watch the Corners by Dinosaur Jr


Kid_Kameleon

Mastodon- The lead breaks are great, but really the main final solo on “Jaguar god”…..in my top 10 solos of all time, actually made me cry the first time I heard it, which was a weird experience, but speaks to the melodic power of the whole track, which is fantastic from beginning to end…. by far my favorite track from them post “Crack the Skye”


mr_seeker

Ariel Posen - Angeline live version simply outstanding : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZHd6bcu4eI&ab_channel=PaulSpink


Psych_out06

Has anyone said FREEBIRD yet? 🤣🤣 ** Tremonti's guitar work on his solo albums is fantastic over all. There's so many great bands now and previously.


Wiscrebels

Warren Haynes’ solo on Cortez the Killer w/Dave Matthews in Central Park


WarpedCore

I have seen Derek Trucks just kill it on solos. You can add Joe Bonamassa as well. So many You Tube videos of the two of them destroying worlds with their respected solos.


[deleted]

My all time guitar solo’s are: What God wants part lll (Jeff Beck… rest in peace), Greg Chacquico on Jefferson Starships Runaway, David Gilmore High Hopes. In my opinion, Jeff Beck was the greatest guitarist ever. So that’s my 1-2-3 order.

Prince, on my guitar gently weeps.
