Give me one good reason why this isn't the best guitar solo ever recorded.

Sebastian Green
was that supposed to be impressive? Or really anything above average at all?

Easton Jones
My favourite guitar solo is the one in Hey Bulldog
Caleb Mitchell
Damn... a song hasn't really made me think this hard since Immortal Technique's Dance With the Devil
Julian Jenkins
Oasis - live forever
Daniel Allen
Not bad, at least it has coherent idea development and repitition, unlike most bar band players who wank up and down blues scales not even thinking about what they're playing. Holdsworth has good motif development skills.
Christian Bailey
Yeah George Harrison was quite good in his prime. He was easily the best instrumentalist in The Beatles.
David Price
I haven't listenend to rap in a long time but this was good, a lot better than rap about fucking hoes and capping niggas etc.

I'm not much of a solo guy, but these are some of my favourites

Thomas Wood
Allan's just out of this world.

And the list of musicians he's collaborated with is just scary:

Here's another magnificent song:

Not the fastest songs ever, but still beautiful and unique. There's not a single player that hears chords like he does.
William Johnson
this it is. skip to 4:57 for it
Adam Gonzalez
Have some Fripp you dogs
Samuel Collins
>shine on you crazy diamond
lots of good solos on all the shine on tracks, the sax especially
Michael Rivera
This is a religious experience, holy shit
Mason Stewart
Fripp is the most unique guitar player alive I'd say. No one I've heard sounds quite like him. Maybe it's because of his tuning?
Lucas Ward
Zappa's Inca Roads solos on YCDTOSA or on TBBYNH. Just stop looking

Some of my favourites
Jordan Martin
BTW, Solo on Fat Old Sun starts at 3:16
Solo on Empty 2:45
Solo on Pigs on the Wing 1:20
Ryder Thomas
Fat Old Sun is so damn comfy. Just like Green Is The Colour. God damn....
John Edwards
And it's not even difficult.
Jayden Rodriguez
>Comfortably Numb

He still doesn't understand that Have A Cigar is quietly the greatest solo I'm the entire Pink Floyd catalogue.
Andrew Adams
Strong contender for best rock song of the 90s right there.
Carter James
Maybe
Noah Walker
I don't really wanna know?
Dominic Moore
Best guitar solos? Check this out. But prepare yourself. I've spent a while researching the best guitar solos, your mind might be blown. Use caution.
Impact Fuze - Moscow
Jazz Kamikaze - the Siege
CAB - CAB
Buckethead - Jordan
Jason Becker - Altitudes

To all y'all:
This guy gets it.
Jacob Myers
Isn't it amazing how you can play a whole 7 minute song and not say much of anything?
There's no counterpoint to speak of, the guitar plays whatever it likes at any moment while the drums occasionally settle into a steady rhythm and then go straight back to fills.
At best that song belongs in a N64 game menu screen, for character or level select.
Joshua Wilson
Wanna know what it is? Check this idea out. Take the best Holdsworth solo and superimpose it over the backing track to the Swim to the Moon guitar solo jam by Between the Buried and Me. In other words make the background more exciting and the solo instantly becomes more exciting and it means something. Alan Holdsworth is a good guitarist that can't write music. Like all the other good guitarists. The music is boring as fuck. Very fucking boring. It makes his solos just as boring.

The Velvet Underground didn't have a lot of guitar solos, but they sure made it count when they did.
Grayson Davis
I'm not a huge fan of overly technical solos. I like short, raw, distorted burst. Brian Jones' slide solos on the early stones stuff are some of my favorites
Colton Murphy

whoops, forgot these
Matthew Roberts
Belew is much more creative than him
Adrian Stewart
Trust me I've listened to Holdsworth. I've watched his instructional videos too. I just don't like his music at all. It's boring. Very boring. Listen to Hermann Szobel. No guitars. Not even slightly related to Holdsworth but it's a great example of how you can show off some chops while making great music. You don't even notice the chops because the music is so musical. It's not about chops. It's about the music.
Connor Williams
honestly you probably just don't listen to fusion or jazz at all if you can't hear the great melodicism and emotion in that solo
i mean it makes sense that if you mostly listen to rock and blues you'd find pentatonic/blues stuff to be the most "emotional"
Logan Ward
good to see the boi Holdsworth getting some love on Sup Forums. amazing human who influenced many including zappa
dunno if anyone has posted this yet, but check out this conspiracy theory video claiming he's an alien or man from the future (he is VERY bizarre in interviews)
Elijah Bell
holdsworth is a legend. i really dislike the tone/effects he uses for his chords though, way too synthy and 80s sounding to me.
his solo tone is incredible though, i don't even know how he gets it to sound like that. a compressor?
Angel Foster
if you're talking about solos like in OP's song, he used the now-extinct 'synthaxe' during that era, basically a synth controller guitar with keys
Hudson Reyes
keys as well as strings i should add
Jose Watson
fucking dumb auto post
i meant to say this video always makes me laugh, it belongs on one of those 'aesthetic'/vaporwave meme pages
Jeremiah Murphy
Oasis' solos are simple because Noel can't play any better.
Henry Gomez
>what is good music
Luke Jones
nah i know about the synthaxe, i was just talking about his tone in live shows like tokyo dream or even more recent stuff with his regular electric
but i wonder if holdsworth still has any of his old synthaxes. i know they're delicate and hard to repair
Joseph Gray
Thanks for the recommendation. His style reminds me of Zappa.
Tyler Thompson
Jerry's are great
