Solo is not plural. Solos is plural (or soli in a musical context).

The plural is always 'soli', independently from the context. This is due to the latinum origin of the word.

(thus 'solos' is as wrong as 'solo')

heh heh this reminds me of the word myriad...and how many people misuse it by saying 'a' myriad, which is like saying a many, a before myriad is incorrect...but Pink Floyd got it right...

goddam whoever mentioned The Roches!

I dimly remember hearing a track of theirs in a movie soundtrack, thinking "Wow!" and noting it down, many many years ago. f**ked if I can remember what it was though!!

No you didn't. It was Poison, then Ciderella, then Loudness headlining. I know because I was working that show/tour.

...and it's not just name dropping. What that means is that I saw Takasaki 20-30 times, messed around with his guitars and equipment and got to talk to him a bit. (Limited engrish...)

...so, yeah, I'd go so far as to say I'm familiar with his playing.

As to EVH, it seems like you're the one more swayed by sales, here. I haven't mentioned them at all, but you seem obsessed by them.

It's the old musician's snobishnes..."You know, nothing's good if it's popular".

Bollocks.

Best guitar solo.....

Not the most complicated one... but one of my favorits has always been Steve Rothery (Marillion) in "Easter".

I was thinking about mentioning this one but then I chose '100nights' instead because I think it's the somehow the quintessence of his playing

now I find it hard to believe you at all, because the Ratt/Poison tour that came to the Worcester Centrum in the mid 80's had Loudness opening...I never saw Cinderella in my life. I would like to know how you know what shows I saw. We all laughed because Loudness was all such small guys, they looked funny.

...and it's not just name dropping. What that means is that I saw Takasaki 20-30 times, messed around with his guitars and equipment and got to talk to him a bit. (Limited engrish...)
just listen to any Loudness song and you would know that/

no it seems opposite, all my music is based on what pleases me.

that's the stupidist thing I've heard in a long time, I like a lot of things that are popular. But you have proved my point about the LA scene, fake, phony, know it alls. Rock n Roll does not revolve around L.A. you know...but everyone thinks it does. In fact it's a fake, who you know scene with very little class at all. LA has always been the dream of everyone, those who get there usually get screwed...including megastars.

You said Gary Moore's technique was simple hammer-ons and pull offs making them cheap tricks (which there is way moore to him then that)...but tapping isn't? Every first year guitar player can do it and Eddie takes credit for inventing it, which is false...like I say you proved my point, you didn't address one point of my points on EVH...you back it up by calling me a snob

I don't want this to be the start of bad feelings between us, so I shall say oh well. But I would like to hear some of your playing. You can hear mine by clicking on my link, but remember I'm not a singer and don't claim to be. (that is if you listen passed the first song) BTW if you do let me say right now...I do not...repeat I do not have any Satch albums...if you listen to the first song you'll understand...

ok now, obviously I love alternate tunings on guitar. The reason is it opens doors, it takes talent, it takes some understanding of music and it's fun. Fooling around with an alernate tuning that isn't typical for me (like dadead, daddad) seems to always turn into something cool.

Jimmy Page was/is truly one of the best at alternate tunings. You hear in his music what I speak of, a song coming out of a different tuning (think rain song).

My half brother is more a Page fan then I, but I think the loss of Bonham really took it's toll on him the most. Again a musician who often live was too damn drunk (like I said to you once sickle, I don't drink and play at all). I did go to Page school in Middlesex county Mass...

but I was more a Deep Purple fan growing up.

I often wonder what limits they would of gone to once they all did the fashionable rehab thing. Jimmy Page is a genious, but the booze really did him damage. Actually booze killed zepplin....

[disclaimer] of course I don't really know what I'm talking about, and he didn't "do" solos so much as either play+sing or just play+not sing, but...

this talk of alternate tunings brings to mind one of my all-time fave guitarists Nick Drake

Ahh Hedges, a man who plays with more tunings then me...he's great.

He should do a duet with George Benson.

My favourite guitar solo is in Paul Gilbert's cover of the Spice Girls' "2 become 1" - it's lifted from Stairway to Heaven and is hillarious!
