everything by santana, it's all the same in every song of his: three or four chords played in a spanish style, nothing new there, and nothing great there.

Everything about No Sleep till Brooklyn is teh roXor.

Santana is a pretty good bet really. I hate guitar solos, only saxaphone solos are worse.

I'll feel less of a nerd since this is a neo-geo forum, but the solo's in Iori's various themes were awesome.

No guys, no no, you got it all wrong.

The worst (and funniest) guitar solo EVARR is the one from the cover version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody by the legendary BAD NEWS.

Just look for the mp3 of this track and you will laugh your lil' asses off.

Any "solo" attempted by Mr. Greg Ginn. Both his hands should be cut off for the greater good of mankind.

Technically, you can't get much worse than Neil Young's solo in "Cinnamon Girl". It's just one note, over and over!

But the weird thing is, it actually works well in the song. Neil Young rocks and there's no denying!

Overrated for sure, but classics like "Angel of Death" are total hammers!

I would have to say Nigel Tuffnel's concert solo spot in Spinal Tap.


i love the part where he starts kicking the one guitar to get the extra sound..

Christopher Guest is awesome.

Gerry Rafferty & David Bowie are turning in their future graves. Sacrilage. Sax = ownage.

now I gotta say I don't agree with this.

What about Andreas Kisser ? even though I like his solos.
weird .... thats the best way to describe it.

I'd say the worst solo = any metallica song load and after .... OH WAIT.... THEY DON'T SOLO ANYMORE!!

and honest worst solo .. I cannot remember right now.... I just cannot remember the name of the song or the group. The friggin song and solo just gave me a headache... literally.

Worst guitar solo ever:

Every single Yngwie Malmsteen song.

I'm not sure it's actually possible to be a cheesier guitarist than this man:

We are 138 by the misfits..

I do believe the solo is 2 notes. I had my friend who doesn't have any musical talent figure it out in 5 minutes

The worst solo I've ever heard was on Show Me How To Live by Audioslave. Now I know Tom Morello is all about experimentation and distorted shit but that is just lame. :envy:

Im waiting for everyone to post up links of themselves playing an original guitar solo that is more than 2 notes, not shredding like Yngwie Malmsteen, not distorted like audioslave and not played in a classical style like Santana.

I play guitar, and I am fairly good at it. I think if you cant play, you have no right to judge.


That 2 guitars video is cool. That guy is an awesome musician.
