re: 5 favorite guitar solos

I’ll only list 2 of Eddie’s,
I’m The One - VH
Hot For Teacher - VH

When i start to listen to Hot for Teacher the fast tempo always surprises me and solo keeps up on top of being really good.

I can’t always separate the solo from the song and may not always technically be a great solo. Many are just what i have been listening to more of lately.

Some more of Eddie

Right Now
Jump
Someone has mentioned Right Now, and for a slightly similar reason I like Jump’s solo. Both songs featuring something besides guitar before smoothly transitioning into a guitar solo especially with Right Now and smoothly transitioning from guitar solo to handing back off to keyboard and it’s solo specifically with Jump.

I also like when Eddie could have cut loose but didn’t
Runnin With the Devil (and also the one more time)
Jamie’s Cryin with more an answer to opening (Not to mention making guitar sing throughout).

Dancing in the Street
I have been stuck on song lately with it being much better than i think it was given credit for when released even as a cover. It is both different from original while matching many aspect of the Vandellas’ version (from Marvin Gaye). Solo keeps the more dance beat of song (dance beat at least for an 80’s rock band). On a different note from same album Little Guitars (main song) seems like it could it have been more if part of album they didn’t just throw together for a tour with mostly covers. Intro pretty good flamenco style solo without finger picking, but I also like opening to main song.
