Most under rated guitar solo

[Goober]

Wow...we are all finding new original thread ideas *half sarcasm, half serious*

My pick would be the first off of wreath. I dunno, its a nifty solo that doesnt get that much attention.

 

[Mr. Josey Wales]

the solos on april ethereal and when. not talked about much. at least it seems to me.

 

[Hypnos]

the solos in 'The Twilight Is My Robe'

 

[curbstone]

The solos from To Bid You Farewell and that sixth track off the new album (can't remember the name) are awesome...very Mark Knopfler...also the solo form A Fair Judgement....smoooth....

Cheers

Paul D.

 

[apostle]

a fair judgement, and all solos from orchid

 

[all_sins_undone]

not to sure if you could call it underrated - but - White Cluster solo is teh pwnz.

 

[Ermz]

I don't know.. maybe The Grand Conjuration? It's a fantastic solo, that's superbly placed but seems to unfortunately be overshadowed by a rather mediocre song (by Opeth standards at least).

 

[affinityband]

Parabola solo by Tool.

 

[Autumnal]

The clean solo and the end solos from A Fair Judgment. The solo in Windowpane, and of course, Hourse of Wealth. Actually most of the solos from Damnation I just love, by themselves and for what they do to the song. The Ending Credits lead line has such a great tone. The Epilogue solo. The... oh god they're all good. And Akerfeldt's solo in "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" is gorgeous. I am forcing myself to stop now.

actually you kinda got it mixed up. OVERRATED is the white cluster one, its definately not under rated.

 

[opeth_353]

To Rid The Disease's solo.. perfect.. yet no one seems to give a flying fuck! hehe

 

[Khorde]

How can a solo from their relatively recent release be underrated? :confuzzled:

Anyways, the wicked Vibrato-introduced solos of Black Rose Immortal and Forest of October.

WICKED.

 

[opeth_353]

.. it's been out long enough.. and i said it was great to my mates and they were like ".. not really" etc..

The orchid and morningrise solos are amazingly overrated piles of crap .. can't stand half of them. Not all of them are terrible however. He seems to have an addiction to unison bends at times though lol.

 

[Don Corleone]

im not really sure if it's underrated: the blackwater park solo.

 

[BRI]

Beneath the Mire x 3
Since I've Been Loving You by Zep - clearly Jimmy's greatest.
Stepping Outside the Circle by Shadows Fall - most people hate them but you can't deny that Donais can write a good solo.
To Dream of Ur by Nile and also:
Unas Slayer of the Gods - Karl has the best bending technique in the world.

 

[April Etheral]

Every Fuckin Jason Becker one!!!!!!!!!

Most kids nowadays have never heard of him and it breaks my heart, the guy was such an amazing guitar player and still is an amazing person

And then it would have to be Fatal Tragedy by Dream Theater

 

[Khayman666]

The clean solo and the end solos from A Fair Judgment.

Agreed.

Serenity Painted Death (I don't know if it's underrated, but it leads into the clean vocals perfectly)
Devin Townsend - Suicide
Dream Theater - Goodnight Kiss (again, I'm not sure if it's underrated, but I haven't really heard much mention of it)
Sentenced - Noose
Sentenced - The Golden Stream of Lapland
Sentenced - End of the Road (yes, 3 Sentenced songs. There's a couple more too, but these are the ones that stand out most. And I'm sure most people here will disagree, but Miika has to be one of the most underrated guitar players I know of ... him and maybe Simon Solomon)
Into Eternity - Shallow (not a big fan of the band anymore, but this one does kick ass)

That's all I can think of at the moment.

 

[Mistress Bleak]

My pick would be the first off of wreath. I dunno, its a nifty solo that doesnt get that much attention.

I totally agree. That solo is fucking amazing, in my opinion. I actually heard it referred to as "cheesey" once, and I was ready to blow the reviewer's head off.

In addition to that, I'd also go with the solos in April Ethereal, Beneath The Mire (DEFINITELY), A Fair Judgment (of course), and Ghost of Perdition. There are probably like twenty others that I can't think of right now.

 

[Sanzen]

Yeah, Peter's solo in "Beneath the Mire" is great...one of his two solos on GR, I think. too bad, I love his phrasing.

 

[the opeth affinity]

wreath solo, wreath in general is highly underated.
3 minutes or so in to GOP their is abreak 'winding ever higher', after that line line their is an acoustic riff (reminiscent of a fair judgement....but anyway) their a huge bend on the 16th fret or something then a bit of a solo, thats great, a tad chessy maybe but great none the less
