Unheralded/Underrated Solos - Page 4 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

my trumpet teacher when i was a kid was one of the main guys who helped arturo get out of cuba and immigrate to america.

got to meet him and see him perform a few times, really amazing trumpet player.

Yeah he's total bada**. Incidentally he plays the piano like an sob too.

I honestly do not believe an instrument cannot be mastered. So do a lot of people, especially players of instruments. As for "Mastering what YOU DO", what is wrong with that? Players that truly know and understand their own voice have mastered what they can do on an instrument. They feel or think it, they can play it. Not all of them have the physical or technical abilities to play everything possible, but they probably don't want to. But if their goal is an expression of themselves and their ideas, and they do that flawlessly, how did they not master what THEY DO on an instrument?

There's nothing wrong with it other than it's a bulls*** metaphysical cop out.

If you're into that sort of thing, no violence done.

edit:

I'll throw the thread an appropriate bone

Enough arguing with the clueless.

I nominate just about everything Mike Campbell's done with the Heartbreakers. Nothing flashy but he's always had a knack for playing the perfect thing at the perfect time, and usually has the perfect sound to match. Every time I hear him I always end up thinking "that's the just the right guitar for that part."

It's insidious because what he does is so essential to a lot of those songs, but doesn't always jump out. Looks so easy...but try to write parts like that.

Well that is a particularly deft response.

Underrated. Hell, the cops shut this place down in 1960 for "moral terpitude".

actually a funny story, so like 10 years ago i'm in seattle and i go into a starbucks, this is right after they just started asking for your name when you order.
so the girl taking my order asks me my name and when i tell her swear to ****ing god (and i'm 23 at the time) she says: "oh were your parents big weezer fans?"

.................................

i was so tempted to be like "ya my name was actually mike till i was 18 then they forced me to change it".

My real name isn't Dave; my real name is Tired of Sex.

My parent were brutally honest people and didn't like Weezer much.

OK I'll try to make this my last Zep post for a while. Black Dog never gets cited as one of Page's best but I think it's in his top 4.

This solo is an outro and takes you from 3:35 to the end of the song or about 4:50.

Lindsey is such a sick player. His solo performance of Big Love on the "The Dance" is so good.

Intervals - Tapestry

Aaron Marshall is relatively new on the scene but just an absolute bad ass. Whole song is a guitar clinic but the "solo" is 3:00-3:45. Have a 1 hr lesson coming up in Oct with him. Absolutely stoked.

The Beatles last blast, they were rockers after all.

The End. From the Abbey Road album.

Ringo does a drum solo, the rest follow with guitar solos, all if it works wonderfully well. The End.

Awesome thread but we gotta get some Eddie Van Halen up in this piece

Also while I'm in that ballpark the late Randy Rhodes (solos at 2:08 and 3:54)

Both of those are great, but not 1 of them is even close to underrated

Hell, one of them is probably responsible for 90% of the shredding that ever existed.

True but when Zeppelin and GnR make the thread then...

Anyhoot ok here's something cool. A lot of people when they think about Punk Rock musicianship isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind and for the most part it's accurate. However there are players out there that transcend the genre and regardless if you like this kind of music or not you can't help but give respect to the skills. One such man is Matt Freeman...bass player from the band Rancid. One of my favorite solos from him is from the song Maxwell Murder, but when he plays it live it just takes on a whole new meaning...solo starts at 1:00

Dude, Eruption was literally voted the #2 solo of all-time in some guitar mag I have lying around.

And for the 2nd time, good bands/guitarists can make the thread if they had a solo you think is underrated. Notice I didn't post Stairway for Zep or November Rain for GNR.

Takeshi Terauchi... been playing this style of music since about 1960 and is one of the founding fathers of what most people consider "Surf Guitar".

what is thought of as surf guitar by Americans is in actuality a very Japanese musical style with phrasing and progressions that are very old. the beat and structure might be more modern, but the specific phrasing is traditional Japanese Phrasing.

Nice little solo here. 2:04-2:31. Pretty simple but it speaks.

4:49-5:22 always liked this one, though it's maybe a bit high-pitched and waily at times. Still I think an underrated clip. Baker Street by David Koresh Gerry Rafferty.
