Your First Solo

Droquen	Date: November 12, 2004 @ 6:18 PM What was the first solo you learned? Mine was Nirvana's "About A Girl" Easy little solo, but it was the first.
hueseph	Date: November 12, 2004 @ 6:55 PM I can't remember if it was Samba Pa Ti by Santana or Whole Lotta Love by Zep.
gothian	Date: November 12, 2004 @ 11:43 PM mmmmm it must've been a Poison solo, maybe "Talk dirty to me"
onewhodreams	Date: November 12, 2004 @ 11:56 PM Mine was the lead to "In The Mood" by RUSH
tossom	Date: November 13, 2004 @ 4:05 PM "The Jack" by AC/DC.
FelipeMachado	Date: December 19, 2004 @ 2:51 AM Smells like teen spirit - Nirvana
Traf	Date: December 19, 2004 @ 8:14 AM Steve Vai's for the love of God.. Only joking.... Lady is a tramp.... (My dad made me learn an imrpovisation on this awful acoustic guitar that had strings about and inch off the fretboard, before he's buy me an electric..)
kyodylee	Date: December 19, 2004 @ 2:03 PM ummmmmm ... air guitar to 'Day Tripper' ... does that count ...
BlackMage	Date: December 20, 2004 @ 12:33 AM Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody. It's one helluva solo methinks.

tsand19151	Date: December 28, 2004 @ 11:31 AM Sex Machine by sly & the family stone. just got my first wha-wha pedal and that solo was just to die for. I think his brother Freddie took that solo and not Sly.
imemine	Date: December 28, 2004 @ 11:41 AM I never actually learned a guitar solo, I guess because I have never played guitar in a band. Bass on the other hand, it was My Generation!!! John Entwistle---Uuuu, well before that I played a lot of Cream tunes and one could argue that everything Jack Bruce played in Cream was a solo.

billrhynes	Date: January 5, 2005 @ 12:43 AM Detroit Rock City-Kiss
stratmanstl	Date: April 11, 2005 @ 12:19 PM The first solo I tried to learn properly was Mr Crowley by O. Osbourne(R.R). Which was ridiculous considering I'd only been playing for a few months!
guitarjunkie	Date: April 12, 2005 @ 10:15 PM yea, first one i learned properly was prob...Lenny Kravitz, Where are we runnin
japarti	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 2:41 AM lol i havent learnt ne one elses solos just improvised
Baddox	Date: May 10, 2005 @ 5:22 PM First actual "lead" solo (not just a riff) I learned was the one at the end of My Sharona. OK, it was only the beginning part of the solo before the tapping, but it was a solo. BTW, if you haven't heard that solo, go download My Sharona by The Knack and cruise to about 2 and a half minutes. It's a good one.
alexgreece	Date: May 12, 2005 @ 6:32 PM my first solo was smells like teen spirit, and i think the second was solo from in too deep, or hell song solo. !
mdearing	Date: May 14, 2005 @ 4:42 PM I think mine was "Foolin", by Def Leppard.

ReaganYouth1981	Date: July 17, 2005 @ 4:16 AM I Would Have To Say Black Magic Woman By Santana Just The Begining Before He Start's Singing.

Bhairava	Date: August 9, 2005 @ 6:05 PM Purple haze .
mattbanx	Date: August 9, 2005 @ 6:23 PM I don't know if it qualifies as a solo. I played the opening riff to "Shout At The Devil" years ago.
PappyBlue	Date: August 15, 2005 @ 9:48 AM The guitar solo from another brick in the wall.
Intergalacti...	Date: August 15, 2005 @ 10:39 AM First decent one had to be Sweet Child o'mine
MrCam	Date: August 26, 2005 @ 8:44 PM Guns n Roses Knocking on heavens door I have it posted up here if you check out my music. Ive only been playing for 6 months though so its not quite up to Slash standards. check out insomniacs lullaby if yer there
mattbanx	Date: August 26, 2005 @ 11:25 PM I played a long quite a bit to Golden Earring and Pink Floyd Solos. I had a musician friend that I would sing and play backup keyboard with. Big in to The Suburbs and Replacements before the alternative scene broke out in Seattle. Had a big Cars fedish too. He did'nt like how solos dominated songs, but he would do a lot of quick off ones. Songs that consist mainly of little solos with power chords. I have to get a good pedal and try some guitar ditties. If I can hold a rythm.
mattbanx	Date: August 26, 2005 @ 11:29 PM If acoustic guitar solos count, there is quite a few prog rock bands I like that do that, and some folk and alternative. I make up a lot of tunes like that.
Burnthand	Date: September 1, 2005 @ 6:48 AM wonderful tonight, clapton. but it was mechanical and there wasn´t emotion on it... awful
MindSculpture	Date: September 1, 2005 @ 7:58 AM My first solo? Think it was just after I hit puberty...oh wait, you mean guitar!
Burnthand	Date: September 1, 2005 @ 11:06 AM
