Le plus long solo de gratte ?

[Unserious Sam]

Hello ! Quel est, d'après vos connaissances encyclopédiques sur toutes choses rock/prog/pop... dont vous faites preuve ici-même à longueur de posts, le plus long solo de guitare enregistré sur un album studio ? Question saugrenue qui me vient après avoir ré-ré-ré-écouté "Ice" de Camel. Quelle performance de Latimer !

Y a peut-être ou sans doute plus long... Pas chronométré avec "Comfortably Numb"...

Peut-être chez Satriani ou Johannes Luley et son album "Qitara" ?... Ou Dire Straits (sur "Love Over Gold" ?) Ou Zappa (un peu partout...) ?

Là comme ça à première vue, je pense à Freedom Flight de Shuggie Otis, ou Maggot Brain de Funkadelic. Il doit bien y avoir des marathons aussi dans le rock sudiste, du type Green Grass And High Tides des Outlaws.

J'ai gardé un disque assez étonnant, un assemblage de plein de versions live de Dark Star du Grateful Dead, ça fait un virtuel très long solo de Jerry Garcia !

[Monsieur-Hulot]

Free Bird de Skynyrd ?

[Jitoma]

Oui, Free Bird assurément !

J'ai en tête deux Zappa qui se posent bien là : Willie The Pimp, et Sharleena, version sortie sur la compilation The Lost Episodes, excellent solo du reste.

[Echoes]

Dazed and Confused de Led Zeppelin en live est pas mal dans le genre, sinon Hendrix avec entre autre Machine Gun également en live.
Il me semble que Funkadelic avec Maggot Brain faisait fort dans le genre.

Merci pour vos réponses, autant d'écoutes à venir Sinon, je repense à l'instant à "Europa", peut-être... Ou encore Latimer sur le formidable "Summer Lightning"

Sinon, un des solos (soli pour les puristes...) le plus court serait peut-être celui d'Andy Summers sur "Driven To Tears"... Paraît que Sting a les solos de guitare en horreur, il aurait reluctantly concédé celui-là à Andy...

Un des solo de guitare le plus court de la pop est celui de Rusty Anderson (guitariste de Paul McCartney) sur le titre des New Radicals "You Get What You Give" (à 2:49).

Attention fans de rock 60/70 pur et dur s'abstenir.

I've nothing against Eric Clapton; in fact my school satchel bore the blotchy felt-tip inscription "EC = God" for a few months in 1967 (before I saw Jimi Hendrix on Top of the Pops and realised I had been worshipping a false god). But let's admit it: Layla is bloody boring. I'm not just talking about the second part, which no one listens to, but the first part too. A decent enough riff, done to death. See also the interminable, insufferable Free Bird, Stairway to Heaven, anything by Ten Years After, and many more.

You can't blame the artists. Those of us who went to gigs in the 70s would have felt cheated had we been denied a 15-minute guitar solo – and not only because the longer the guitar solo went on, the longer before we had to suffer the 15-minute bass solo and the 15-minute drum solo. But who nowadays (including, one suspects, Clapton himself) would not find Robert Johnson's original Cross Road Blues more electrifying, honest and downright enjoyable than Cream's self-indulgent live version, complete with Clapton's technically good but emotionally empty pyrotechnics?

Now this is more like it: my all-time favourite guitar solo, by Rusty Anderson. It lasts for eight seconds (around 2:49 to 2:57), just four bars, and it's totally brilliant. A repeated flourish, then a single compelling repeated chord … job done. Further evidence that less really can be more is furnished by the whole song – built on two chords – and indeed the New Radicals' entire career: make one great album (Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too, in 1998), release one huge international hit single, break up. If only more bands had done the same the world would be a much better place.

Everything about this record is great: the inspiring lyrics ("What's real can't die … Don't be afraid to live"), Gregg Alexander's impassioned vocal performance, the piano continuo, the superbly fluid bassline. But most of all, that guitar solo. If only for eight seconds, Rusty Anderson = God.
