darkandrew 143 Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) David Gilmour's solo from Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" is one of my favourites. Edited July 9, 2017 by darkandrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nibody 114 Posted July 10, 2017 Going for 3 - Layla (Dereck and the Dominos) - You can feel the pain in each note when Clapton lets rip. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izfg7YU9VgE"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izfg7YU9VgE[/url] Then One Small Day - Ultravox. Midge Ure is a VERY underated guitarist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydywCOCr46k Finally a hip hop record of sorts - Bomb the Bass - Dont Make Me Wait. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_42p66WeM0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MoonBassAlpha 340 Posted July 16, 2017 The solo on the single version of 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago is concise and flippin ace. Terry Kath was the shizz. The horns ain't too shabby either. Could only find the album length version on YouTube Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrunoBass 977 Posted August 25, 2017 'Don't Speak' by No Doubt. It's an amazing, heartfelt song anyway, and the beautiful solo at 2.44 by Tom Dumont is the icing on the cake. http://youtu.be/TR3Vdo5etCQ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett 0 Posted August 28, 2017 Always loved John McGeoghs playing in the Banshees and I'm pretty certain it was the solo from Shot by both sides that grabbed peoples attention. https://youtu.be/TCULiAKoDcM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leschirons 807 Posted August 28, 2017 Couple come to mind. Both Steve Lukather (well certainly the first one and probably the second one) Rosanna and Running with the night by Lionel Richie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FDC484950 495 Posted August 28, 2017 Hate to admit to knowing the personnel on a Lionel Richie track but yes, Running With The Night was Steve Lukather. Also a wicked bass part and especially tone from "Ready" Freddie Washington Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
