Yeah that was a bit over the top genius that just didn't make sense.He’s special - but his solo album is so weird and bad I literally pulled the car over to throw it away while listening
Not an exaggeration

I can appreciate weirdYeah that was a bit over the top genius that just didn't make sense.
Love Out There, my fav J Mascis song of them all.
Great. And you can start a thread regarding bass players and bass riffs. Which would be cool. I just don't get the inability of people to be disciplined enough to stay on topic.I’m a bass player, so I tend to listen for the bass, and they didn’t come any better than John Entwistle from The Who.
I’m curious-What were his examples of “showboaters””? Because many guitarists who were “great” players from a technical standpoint weren’t capable of performing the kinds of improvised solo riffs that some of the guitarists who are universally considered to be the greatest of all time are known for.I used to work with a local musician, Jim Hilton.
He told me he truly appreciated players that were content to ”merely” play great. He hated showboaters.
I did that just to give you high blood pressure.Great. And you can start a thread regarding bass players and bass riffs. Which would be cool. I just don't get the inability of people to be disciplined enough to stay on topic.

Listened to this a few times yesterday. Interesting coincidence.Love Out There, my fav J Mascis song of them all.
This is an impossible question . There are a ton of guitarists out there with which we can choose from . My favorites ? Too many to choose from .
The best ? We could debate that forever . Anyhow . This one is pretty God damned good .
I never knew that was Moon. Love that song, and love The Who.I know this is a best guitarist post, but the drum solo by Keith Moon-on Nilsson’s Jump into the Fire outrageous.....had it blasting on my way home from golf today.....I’m 68 and I still turn it up!
John Bonham on Moby DickI never knew that was Moon. Love that song, and love The Who.
I've been trying to stay away from this thread, because I knew I'd start spending too much time listening to everything I could think of as well as a lot of things that were suggested.There are so many styles of guitar play, it is extremely hard to compare them under one roof.
I just googled. Was Jim Gordon. Was told the Moon worked in studio. I stand corrected. Sorry.....I never knew that was Moon. Love that song, and love The Who.
“Boris the Spider” with a bass lead....vintage Entwhistle....I’m a bass player, so I tend to listen for the bass, and they didn’t come any better than John Entwistle from The Who.

You’re wired kinda tight.

**** Jim Hilton!
Go big or go home!
You know Jim?**** Jim Hilton!

Bass is like guitar, only better. 😃In fairness, the thread is labeled Favorite guitar solo. The bass is a guitar, and some bassists had solos. Metallica fans know Cliff had a solo called Anesthesia. Check this out, Cliff's version and then a rendition done by a string bassist from the San Francisco Symphony.
You know Jim?
he was always badmouthing Joe Grushecky. ( in a kidding type of way)
I think Joe was his teen rival?
We were together 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 7 years.
OkLol. No, I don’t l, was just being silly.
YES!
Michael Schenker of UFO. The most under rated rock band of all time.YES!
The truth is he now has less money and still only the ability to play one guitar at a time,
I'm not really into guitar-heavy music with extended wailing solos and 8-minute track lengths, etc. But I do enjoy the November Rain solo very much. Oh, and although I'm not a fan of the band as a whole, I like the solo at the end of Journey's "Who's Crying Now?".
Underrated:
Pipeline: surfer rock rules.
Hotel California
Metallica: one
Rick Ness: Ball and Chain; When the Angels Sing
billy Duffy: she sells sanctuary
Steve stevens: rebel yell
Slash: sweet child o mine
Eddie V: eruption
anything from Roy Clark, George Benson, Ottmar Liebert
