What's the best guitar solo. You must answer in each category:\n\n1. Emotion/Feel\n2. Technical Prowess\n3. Longevity (you still remember it long after hearing it)

'Maggot Brain' by Funkadelic (Eddie Hazel is the guitarist)\n\n1. George Clinton told him to 'play like your mama had just died' - that's exactly what he does.\n\n2. Okay, maybe lacking here but feel and spirit (i.e. communicative ability) are much much more important in my mind.\n\n3. First heard it some 20 years ago and I can still reproduce it in my head.\n\nPlus it's great for people who figure that they wouldn't like Funkadelic. Play it for 'em; they'll be surprised!

I like "Master of Puppets" much more - whether it's metal, hard rock or whatever - it's just a better song. "One" is probably the best song on "Justice" but that's not saying much in my opinion - it's my least favorite Metallica album after "St. Anger."\n\nDave Mustaine was definitely in an early version of Metallica, but I think he and Kirk played together for a period. Check out the fantastic "Some Kind of Monster" documentary for more insight on that whole episode.

Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, for sure.  Have you ever really listened to Layla?  The guitar strings almost speak.  Of course, I'm 62, sooo

yeah he's really awesomely fast and sounds good too.  It's not tapping until he starts tapping the fretboard with his right hand, before it was just fast playing with lots of hammer-ons and pull offs.  I play guitar too but not nearly as fast. you are gorgeous.

"Ziggy Stardust"\nIt has the coolest opening guitar riff I've ever heard. I've probably listened to it hundreds of times.

Hi, when i learned i only took lessons for about a month and they were helpful mostly because i had homework and i felt like i had to do it. What i am trying to say is that if you have patience and really make yourself practice you will learn by yourself. Check this site; it is mainly for folk music but it has good lessons to start out. http://www.folkofthewood.com/page5301.htm\n\nThis other site is also good for lessons and you can even find a lot of tablatures. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/lessons/for_beginners/\n\nThis other site is also good for lessons and here you can see the basic guitar chords. http://www.cyberfret.com/chords/beginning-7/index.php\n\nWhat type of music do you want to learn? Some styles are harder than others. For example. the first songs that i learned were Zombie by The Cranberries ( very easy) and Redemption Song ( Bob Marley).\n\nOh one more thing. Do a lot of practice exercises for both your right and left hand. Before you start learning songs, learn the basic chords.\n\nWell hope that this is helpful, If you have any questions let me know...jonny

Yes, i play the guitar....i just started playing about a year ago and I think im pretty good to just be playing for a year.  The best songs I can play are: Paronoid by Black Sabbath, Since I've been loving you by Led Zeppelin, Dirt on the Grave by Black Label Society, Until it Sleeps by Metallica.  Im not in a band yet but I will be this time next year.  I am going to be famous, everyone tells me that.

It's awsome, best buy has a demo set up so you can test it out before you purchase. Which is a good idea considering you only get one guitar and those alone are pricey.

Yes, I bust through scales and chromatics for an hour a day, I'm not even a speed player, but that is the best way to develop speed, strength, and accuracy.\n\nAlways use a metronome, and extend the patterns all over the neck. The more variety you get the more accustomed you will get to handling all different situations.\n\nEdit: Vince we are talking about soloing not improvisation, I think the question was how to build up solo skill. The blandness in music has nothing to do with scale structure, because it would be near impossible to make one not loosly based on a scale, it is musicians not expanding their knowledge of scales and the different ways to use them.\n\nAnd metallica uses the phygian scale much more than pentatonic, the pent. is freaking boring. Only 5 notes do not leave very many opportunities for meaningful improv.

Van Halen is the greatest!!! Although I have to disagree with you on their best song... "Hot For Teacher" is the most incredible song ever. Just listen to the drum intro...sounds like a finely tuned motorcycle engine. Eddie is the KING!!!

Check at guitar shops and in paper .Make sure the person you ask to teach you can play the type of music your into.If your looking to learn on music theory i strongly recomend a teacher.There is books out there about it but i just could not get it all out of a book.Reading tabliture was huge for me once i learned that i really became a better guitarist mastering all the old metallica albums.Theory though helps open your mind to so much more and you already know what your doing before you do it.Example with theory mastered you could listen to a guitar part and now exactly were to go to play a solo or what scale would fit.\n       Good luck to you and remember the biggest thing that will make you improve as a musician is,practice i cant stress this enough
