Title: Good Emotional Solos to Play To
Post by: Jonny on August 20, 2009, 07:23:10 PM: Yes, I want to be cheesy and close my eyes when I do those bends and do weird faces in privacy of course.

So any suggestions?

I only have Comfortably Numb right now, the Live version which is bloody awesome to play to.

Post by: Nadz1lla on August 20, 2009, 07:32:01 PM: The solo in "Take Away My Pain" by Dream Theater. If emotional is what you're after, it's in there. It's about John Petrucci's Dad.

Post by: Ian Price on August 20, 2009, 08:09:23 PM: The solo in "I could have lied" - quite possibly my favourite Frusciante solo.

Put on your top hat and zip your tight leather pants real tight. I guess the rest is pretty obvious.

Post by: gwEm on August 21, 2009, 12:26:40 PM: You've got to do some Gary Moore :)

and I like the suggestion of 'Beyond the Realms of Death"
Title: Re: Good Emotional Solos to Play To
Post by: Jonny on August 21, 2009, 02:06:33 PM: Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'll get to practicing these and maybe post a few recordings :)

Keep them coming, they're all great.

Post by: Fourth Feline on August 21, 2009, 04:13:44 PM: Larry Carlton : " Emotions wound us so" - from the 'Last Nite' album. Lovely subtle nuances, sweet melody, nice thematic development and depth of emotion. :)

For me it's the understatement and subtlety of this that gets me every time.8)

I love the solo in this song. Very simple (and short), but emotional.

for some reason I thought your original post said the solo in another brick in the walll... :oops: sorry for suggesting one you already had :lol:

18 and life by skid row is pretty good, too. most of the 80s and early 90s solos are pretty good. tornado of souls by megadeth/marty friedman, song for love by extreme/nuno...

I don't know if it's necessarily a good emotional solo to play along to, but by golly I enjoyed that clip very much!
Title: Re: Good Emotional Solos to Play To
Post by: donovan.x on August 23, 2009, 11:48:15 AM: +1 for Nothing else matters and Song for love by Extreme, two solos that made me want to pick up the guitar.
