I can't think of where the best Paul Weller solo is, anybody help?

Hey! I put the Only Ones in competition on page one.

But all right. I see your Quine solo on "Blank Generation," and raise it a Quine solo on "Waves of Fear,"



@ 2:16, ftw.

[Bruce Dazzling]

The entire thing is a masterpiece of ensemble playing, and more specifically, two-guitar weaving, but the solos from 4:28 - 9:10 are especially breathtaking.

C2W - that's right. d'oh. oh well, it's good for twice








watch it if you doubt me







and more recently

[compared2what?]

That's okay. Because it's me and Quine/"Waves of Fear" FOREVER now, anyway. Might have been a different story if Bruce had posted "Little Johnny Jewel." Wrong as that would have been, since if God had wanted that to be on "Marquee Moon," it wouldn't not have been. Prior to becoming a CD re-issue bonus track. Which is actually a happy thing for me, I never got around to getting the single. But that wasn't my fault. I was young and stupid.

But wrong is wrong. So it's still wrong. Plus this one's better for the thread anyway.



At about 7:30, wow, very virtuosic..

I assume most folks know about kenneth anger's lucifer rising film and how the jimmy page score was not used and was lost never to be heard. well...

here it is...
(edit: fyi, it's drone-y and not guitar based, but interesting)

[Allegro]

You know, I see it happening time and again when online videos of pianists, rather, piano players, who play a traditional piece faster than a spinning planet and louder than simultaneous trumpets by ten elephants, are applauded by what obvious deludables/commentors believe to be pianistic mastery. HA! There's little mastery. Please tell me not that I am the first to tell you so.

So, here I am offering what I think are masterful guitarists playing some music passages pretty fast (and loudly), and with only their well-known names to bank on would I submit to post.
Here you have it. My best to you guitar enthusiasts.

I think that, for the most part anyway, they're just rockers at heart, but their mothers wouldn't let them out until they practised
