Btw thx Michael for recommending New Day Dawning: indeed a very lyrical guitar solo.
Oh, that's cool you like it. So out of character for a jangly indie band as well. I wish I could remember the Carpenters track they stole from to give some credit here but it's gone from the memory banks!
I’ve done a bit of research and that Carpenters song should be Goodbye To Love, the only Carpenters’ track to have a fuzzy guitar solo. I haven’t listened to it yet though.
Thx. Strangely, it's not ringing any bells but that must be right! I think the solo is only on a live album of theirs.
In answer to the question " why I Saw Her Standing There".
Assuming you have heard the song and the guitar solo, I don'the understand why you are asking unless that style of music is not your preference.
I think it is the best best song and solo from the first half of the 60's.
A guitar solo, in my opinion, should compliment and enhance a song, not dominate it. All the choices I had listed do exactly that including George Harrison.
I was wondering for two reasons:
1) George Harrison probably has 20 other guitar solos which do what you suggest as well if not better.
2) I'll leave it at that.
I suppose I was wondering the logic not of a good guitar solo, but why that choice specifically as opposed to other options by George Harrison.
There’s a category of solo I enjoy, from the pop/rock genre that largely doesn’t exist anymore. Elliot Easton from The Cars exemplifies this sort of thing... a perfect little melodic solo with a bit of flash and interest in the middle of a frivolous pop song.
I have heard that before. It is really not clear cut.
I prefer to accept the original credits that credit Harrison as the lead guitarist as it was closest to when the recording was actually made however to play it "safe", switch Tomorrow Never Knows with either the Phil Spector version of Letter It Be, Old Brown Shoe or And your Bird Can Sing.
it isn't my go-to style but the solo at the end of Freebird is amazing. lately for the holidays I've been listening to a lot of Black Sabbath so the dual guitar solo of NIB comes to mind, also the series of solos near the end of Black Sabbath's Warning.
OMG I just learned that Warning wasn't written by Black Sabbath, that's a cover... I'm shook. Who the hell is The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation???????!!!!!!!!!!!!
