The solo in the song "Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana... I like the song
and all he has to do is play the melody of the song (Like he did in Teen
Spirit..) for the solo and it would be good. But nooo.. He fucks around
and screws the song up.
Outt..

to be '80's techno-shred-metal, where you'd have a four minute long impossible
to play solo that went... absolutely nowhere. But for the life of me I can't
remember any titles.

For me, a real teeth-grinder has always been the solo in "Hot-Blooded," by
Foreigner; it always seemed to me that Mick'd been sippin' some Bahama Mamas
and then did a line or two before he laid that stankin' turd down and went,
"Blimey - that's THE ONE."

Ive thought about it and I would have to put Neil Geraldos" uneventful
string-together of trashy little licks into one scale over 12 bars" bit,from
Hit Me With Your Best Shot amongst the bottom of the barrel.IMO,that song
needed something that flowed over the changes,not something that hacked away
at them.

Heh. I would agree with that one. Interestingly enough, I was recently treated
to a Foreigner show down in Atlantic City. Grubbed good, drank on the house,
they comp'd just about everything. Foreigner really put on a good one that night,
I hope they've done the same everywhere. Came time fer that one, and I got ready
to cringe at whatever he'd do, but he blew a real nice one over it. It was good.
Lou was very nice to us afterwards, didn't get to talk to Mick though.

talked about the song "Private Dancer" that he wrote for Tina Turner (the

plays a solo on the song that Knopfler described as "the second ugliest solo
you ever heard." This remark made me rather curious, so I obtained a copy
of the album "Private Dancer" and listened to the song....He was right, only
I'd rate it as the first ugliest solo I ever heard. Certainly not up to par

Boy, you folks love to hate Neil Young, and I just love him;haven't y'all ever
jammed "Down By the River" or "Southern Man" or played any of his acoustic
songs-the guy has a style unto himself... sorry but I had to come to Neil's

My answer to the "worst solo" question would have to Jimmy Page for that
dreadful Paul Rodgers/l Firm song "Radioactive" - the riff, the tone, the
lead.....funny, he also gets my vote for some of the best solos (Dazed and
Confused, Heartbreaker, Stairway...) Joe C

Agreed.
I saw a special on the tube where he and Johnny Cash were taking turns
on their songs, with the other backing them up.
Willie broke a string on his classical, so Johnny handed him a brand
spanking new black Collings dread that he had just gotten.
He played an instrumental (I've forgotten which tune it was),
and it was a fine example of solo acoustic work, with some tasty single
note fills.
When he handed the Collings back to Johnny, Johnny said,
"I've had this guitar for a month, but that's the first time it's ever
been played".

" Time is on My Side" is out of tune, but the Stones were really trying to play
serious straight blues on that one... The organ/ guitar intro on that tune is,
least to me, very raw and emotional; as for "Sympathy" - leave that solo
alone!!-it is "an icepick to the forehead" one for sure, but classic ...That
song is often the "Las Call" song my band plays when everyone in the bar is
pretty wasted and we jam it out-most of the soloing I try to do is along the
lines of the smokey overdrivenR&B Mick Taylor-style, but sometimes I try to
end solo with Keith's solo note for note-its just fun.. OK, I love the Stones

John F. is a great player- the guitar playing (all rhythm no solo) on Under the
Bridge is beautiful.How can you not like the funk of songs like Californication
or Around the World ? His studio solos are kinda sparse and edgy, but they work
great with the Peppers. Dave Navarro's stuff kicked ass also if even just for
the one album.

I really like Willie's laying behind the beat. His singing also seems
to be consistently about a thirty-second note late. It's all part of
Williedom. Sort of a musical implementation of a slow Texas drawl.
You should hear Erroll Garner's piano playing sometime. Left hand is
always right ON the beat, right hand is all over the place.

Willie's a fine guitar player. For real. Yes, everything is very stylized, but
it's good stuff. The timing on the octave stuff on "Whisky River" is pretty out
there. Very much supports the statement of the song.

Only a guitarist would think that way. A MUSICIAN, however, knows better.
Hint: the audience is loking at the lead singer, not the guy with the guitar.
Allan Flippin
Mostly, I will listen to a song and its arrangement in general, not
specifically the solos, so it's hard for me to remember the worst.
I would like to however, to nominate the bullshit little solo from
The Kinks "All Day and All of the Night". I really do like the song,
and the guitar work during the verses etc. is pretty cool. But that
awful noise that Dave makes when he's "cutting loose" for those
(thankfully) few seconds is quite awful.

Sorry, but it's not very hard to believe he wasn't influenced by Robertson.
I will concede that they have stylistic similarities, but why does that mean
one directly influenced the other? Similarities in playing don't
necessarily mean one player directly influenced the other. Knopfler could
very well have some of the same influences as Robertson without having
actually taken things directly from Robertson himself. From what I've read,
I have a hard time believing he wouldn't give Robertson credit if he thought
Robertson was a big influence. I'm a fan of Robbie Robertson too, but I
think you guys are being pretty unfair to Knopfler.

I believe that the Cinnamon Girl solo is best left up to the

depths of it's minimalism, and seek out the meaning of each and every

Actualy, playing to a packed club is fun. But playing to 40 people with just

No, I don't do it because I prefer to play for audiences who WANT to hear my
music. I don't feel the need to force my choice of tunes upon a bunch of
poor schlubs who only wanted to get a coffee and could care less about who's
making the background noise.

That won't get you any closer, because you lack the style. Besides, an
electric with only one string has as many as two octaves of notes.

What "solo" are you talking about, exactly? That little rythmic figure
between the verses, or the Native-American style melody at the end of
the song, when all the other instruments have stopped?

The song sounds great, period. If you have to be a guitarist to know
that something is wrong with it, then maybe guitarists are just full of
shit!
Neil Young oozes with style; something you will never have with your
paint-by-numbers guitar playing that goes over the lines arbitrarily.

Funny how a large percentage of the people are there--no matter where I play.
Nice avoidance. Walk up on a stage. You, an acoustic, a mic. Nothing else.
Nothing to hide behind.
Yeah, I think I know why you don't do it. You talk great from behind a
keyboard, though. Just don't put it all out there. You'll find out what ya
don't have. And, of course, so will everyone else.

Cinnamon Girl solo. Style. Hilarious!

The single, repeated, obnoxious note that passes for a solo in that song. In

He oozes, all right. On that, we agree.
I think his electric stuff is pretty terrible. I was always surprised that
someone who had written such great acoustic-type tunes could put out such
crapola with a band.

You're a broken record, Feder. How many times have you spat the same line at

Get some new material.

What I don't have is the desire to bore audiences with dry acoustic
material. Maybe when I'm your age my balls will shrivel up and I'll change
my mind.

==========================================================
And what can someone say about a "person" that thinks this is style.
Sheehy, IT'S JUNK.
Robert Barker
sounds exactly like he wants to. I also think that the CG 'solo' fits the
song perfectly, and it's hard for me to imagine a different one contributing
any more 'feeling' to the song. Great tune, IMO, but it's not everyones
cup-o-tea, obviously. :+)

In that event, you'd better keep typing. It's all you do. This gorilla would
be happy to meet you with no electronic toys, just a voice and an acoustic
guitar. Come on out to a gig. I'll put you onstage, all by yourself. I'll
even let you go first, so your embarassment before an audience can be forgotten
after you get down and someone who can play and entertain takes your place.
Oh, I forgot. You're not a MUSICIAN. You're an electric guitar player. Sort
of.

That's because you, Mr. Bad Love, have no ear for music.
Really. It's true.

I'd like to point out, being the sane voice of reason that I am, that to do
the "Cinnamon Girl" solo right, you need TWO strings.
We now return to the regularly scheduled bickering.

I've done lots of gigs like that. Yeah it was a long time ago, but I made lots
of "pay the phone bill" cash in college playing the coffeehouses and crap bars
around Chapel Hill. Played lots of 12 string open tuned Kottke stuff, Jethro
Tull, all kinds of things, cant remember a single bit of it now, too long ago. I
dont even own an acoustic guitar now. I saw Kottke once in Tampa and yakked with
him and came home and sold my 12 string. Simply unworthy.
My point is, I dont think it was any harder doing solo acoustic than playing
with a full band. Equipment wise, gear set up, its infintely easier. And as long
as you can half assed sing "Margaritaville" they dont seem to give a shit. You
sure as hell dont have to try to get them to DANCE. Its NOT a "superior" gig.
It's just a different gig.
I don't "hide" behind my big loud obnoxious out of tue electric guitar either. I
put all my balls into each and every song and solo, good or bad. In fact,
playing with a full band is sometimes MORE difficult, because you have to react
quickly to cues, and miscues, from the other players.

we used to play that song all the time. It's a kewl tune. the riffs are real
fun to play in that dropped D thing. the solo, fuck it, I seldom bother
learning any solos anyway, unless requested to do so, so I'd just blow thru it
in my on patented trailer clammage way.
Maybe it is the worst solo ever recorded. I dunno. Thats kinda a weird thing to
wonder about , however, for those interested in some really funny stuff, go
here:
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/top/solos/
lots of you guys have seen this, so pardon the intrusion. Its a really funny
rant about the worst guitar solos of all time.
to hear some solos that DIDNT make the worst solo of all time cut, but prolly
should have at least gotten an honorable mention of stankage:
