Songs or guitar parts that wish you were the guy (or gal) that played that...

The guy who did the guitar solo on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street.

Um, John Bonhams drumming on Stairway to Heaven Live

Dave Gilmour just about any song on Delicate Sound of Thunder Live, but particularly the 7 minute solo on 'On The Turning Away'

Slash'es solo at the end of Paradise City Live

Eddie Van Halens solo in Hot For Teacher

That should do for starters

Lots of solos that Stevie Ray Vaughan played

For starters - Jimi Hendrix House Burning Down - for those whom are acquainted with this remarkable compostition - naturaaly for THAT intro - you would be playing not one - but two Strats simulatenousely on stage as you blast the crowd away.

Then from The Spiders of Mars - Mick Ronsons solo on Boiwies Moonage DayDream - where the s0lo just gets higher and higher and higher ...

Then theres the loudest E Major in the business - Pete Townsends crashing crescendo to Wont Get Fooled again
.
Last - but by nio means least - Mr Frank Zappa with his blistering Mother of all Guitar Solos on Zombie Woof from the album Overnight Sensation - perhaps the ulitmate of all guitar solos.

Or, I am The Resurrection. Stone Roses, outro again...

The solo on that track is also completely amazing.

But the one that always gets me is Lindsay Buckingham's playing on the acoustic version of Fleetwood Mac's Big Love.

Any of the basslines on the Pixies "Doolittle".

Kim Deal was my heroine when I was younger.

Quite a number of Gilmour's solos.

Anything by Herman Li.

**BlasterBates** · 3 March 2010, 08:09

A Bert Weedon guitar hit.

I'd settle for being able to play anything Gilmour has done. I quite like some of Gary Moores stuff also although I've not listened for a while. I had the 12 inch single of Still In Love With You by Thin Lizzy when I was doing my O levels. That and Wish You Were Here were what I listened to while revising.
