    Good choice - although I would also plump for "On the turning away".

      I've been playing this game a lot lately. It has sure made me a lot more aware about guitars in music. I now often listen to just the guitar in a song rather than the song as a whole. I think the final track on Guitar Hero II is a really awesome masterpiece in the art of shredding: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird. Whenever I hear it, I get magically swooped away in the guitar solos. Purple Haze almost. ;P Do you know of a song with an awesome guitar solo that makes you all tingly inside? (Did I just say tingly inside? :~)

        Smashing Pumpkins - I Am One Queen - We Will Rock You . just listen to the very first few notes - it's the best sound ever. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood Clapton - Crossroads Jimi Hendrix - Electric Church Red House, Hear My Train A Comin' (electric), etc. Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive, Peg Van Halen - You Really Got Me Adrian Belew - Twang Bar King Reverend Horton Heat - Psychobilly Freakout Junior Brown - Stupid Blues Gillian Welch - Red Clay Halo (live) actually, nearly anything from Jimi, Junior, Stevie, Billy (Pumpkins), David (Gillian Welch) or Eddie VH is bound to be great.

          Yes, Clapton is a very able guitar player. I love the stuff from Cream (his old band).

          One of my all-time favorite albums is Disraeli Gears (first rock album I even bought). Great guitar-work in that album. Not to mention the incredible playing of Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. I was listening to Disraeli Gears this morning in the car on the way to work.

              I think I'll have to acquire a better recording of that song. It's a bit long, but definitely something I'd listen to at home, at work or in the car. Frank Zappa is a loonie BTW. :-D

              Yeh, but he was really great. I saw him in concert at Penn State back in '73. What a great concert! Still remember it till today.

                      Actually there's no Shredding in Free Bird, just a very well done solo on basic blus pentatonic scale. so here's my list: Stevie Ray Vaughan - Tirerobe, cound't stand the weather etc etc Clapton - Crossroads, White room etc etc Jimi Hendrix - Woodoo Chile, purle haze, Foxey lady (live version) etc etc Van Halen - Mean Streets, Eruption Jeff Healey Band - See The Light (full album) - cover To Cover (full album) Gary Moore - Walking by Mysef, Still got the blues Santana - Europa, Oje como và, black magic woman etc etc Led Zeppelin - Heart Breaker Mark Knopfler - Sultans of Swing, tunnel of love Guns And Roses - sweet child of mine Eagles - Hotel California (you can laugh but I still think it's a remarcable solo) I don't know mutch 'bout "Guitar Heroes" (but I've been playing guitar for the last 20 years) and I supposed it's more focused on Solos rather than all around playing..so no AC/DC (a pitty)

                          You should listen to the guitar solo in the song Devil's Path by Dimmu Borgir, there is also an amazing drum solo in that song.

                              To be perfectly honest, the Freebird solo is pretty easy. It's amazingly repetitious. If you master one part, you have the entire thing. I learned to hate this solo because it's so boring to play. I'm not sure how it would translate to Guitar Hero, but it's very boring on a real guitar.

                                  Well I thought the EVH's solo in MJ's "Beat It" was pretty cool. VH's "Jump" has a nice EVH solo. Yes's Trevor Rabin in "Owner of a Lonely Heart" Prince's solo in "When Doves Cry" Some of the work by Strunz and Farrah is pretty damn cool.
