What is Your Favorite Rock Guitar Song?

Just in case by some unlikely chance you ever think of anything other than guitar, and may want to talk about it here, this forum is dedicated to everything in life other than guitar. Of course, we understand that eventually everything does find its way back to the guitar.

In any case, have fun!

What is Your Favorite Rock Guitar Song?

Postby ST31X31RA » Mon Jun 11, 2012 4:33 pm

I pesonally love any form of rock so much that I find it difficult to decide. I especially like classic rock and my favorite bands would have to be Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. But I personally love all those rock and roll bands and I was just wondering what your favorite song or band is and why.

I can't narrow it down to any one song. But I do have a few favorites that pop up right off hand...

"Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin is one of the most amazing and intense pieces of rock music ever put together. And it is great fun to tune the guitar to DADGAD and play around with this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfR_HWMzgyc

Anything by The Doors. "Peace Frog" is a favorite of mine and I have made up my own acoustic version of this tune that I like to play from time to time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG1af34u3e8
"Five to One" is another favorite. Though there is nothing technically difficult about the tune, it's raw intensity is a miracle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bAFITGnjrg

"The Soft Parade" is another raw though very sophisticated, intense musical miracle and one of the great rock anthems of all time. The guitar in the last section is just witchy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oYuKoBLkjY

Howlin' Wolf's "Killin' Floor" & "Commit A Crime". Rawcus and mean, mean, mean!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdZPCjwu0kw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvwVuOM7 ... sults_main

SRV "Life Without You" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRNhFZkTXAs

Anything by Jimi Hendrix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK92W2RzbjE

Here's another favorite performance of mine: Monte Montgomery covering Hendrix on, "Little Wing". I absolutely love the molasses tone (and all the other thick sweet tones) he gets in using an acoustic guitar to sate his rock appetite.
