What's Solo's Do You Wish You Could Play?

Post by Daza152 »

Hey we have had a go at solo's right? What's the one that you wish you could play as well as the original? picking one for me is pretty hard, and normally I lean towards Pink Floyd one of my all time fav bands but I think for now this is it...P.S this not me :(

a few years ago I worked my way through the top 10 solos of all time as was at the time. Fun at the time, but then you move on ;) I still do Lazy and Comfortably Numb whenever I plugin to the bogner.

this.

And the solo I wish i play... dunno.

I wish I was less lazy and could actually learn the stairway solo properly, or any page solo really, I know I can technically play it, but it's just the effort of actually learning them note for note, too lazy, just approximate them. Like the heartbreaker solo, would be so cool to nail the sloppiness and everything, but just can't be arsed slowing it down, learning all the inflections etc, then slowly speeding up.

I've had a bunch of attempts to learn Queen "Invisible Man", but it's just completely bonkers.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
