awesome guitar work thread

[Pitiless Wanderer]

So go ahead and post some songs you like that have sick riffs, solos, anything GUITAR RELATED/GUITAR DRIVEN. I can't get enough of this stuff and I know I'm missing out on a lot. Let's try to get it as varied as possible, too. Death metal, jazz, who gives a fuck.

So, I mean...this song just sends chills down my spine. The riffing is super fucking sick. It's from the newest Insomnium album. These guys and Kalmah have been carrying the torch since N' Flamyz dropped it almost a decade ago.

One of my favorite all-time guitar solos is from "Rainbow In the Dark" - I know Viv Campbell is known as a dick and he turned his back on metal a long time ago, but I think he was only 19 when he recorded this and it still stands the test of time. I found this clip on youtube of somebody playing a cover of it and I was amazed - the guy nails it, and there aren't too many players that can do that - much less even have the balls to try it! It has everything - speed, bends, trills, slides, and emotion....

That guitar solo in the Damn the Machine song is brilliant, and that whole cd is great. Chris Poland displayed some great guitar work on that and it was seriously underrated. The Mediterranean Sundance choice was a no-brainer....that is a legendary performance.

the best In Flames song ever, and by far some of the most powerful riffs ever recorded. And the solo? Forget it. Untouchable.

One of my guitar heroes. Everything from the electric to the acoustic is just godlike

Are there any solid state amps that are good for metal. I need a good cheaper amp.

Marshall 8100

You can usually get them for $200-300 or less.

Nice. I'll look into it

Crate amps are pretty sweet. Haven't seen one in the "chain stores" of music sales lately though, but if I remember right, they could run for about 3-4 hundred.
