Favorite Short Guitar Solo

Mick Ronson was the master of them, more like melodic interludes really.
His one on his own version of 'Slaughter on 10th Avenue' I particularly liked.

Yeah, when they only get 4 bars or so, and don't just play a few fills, it's rather impressive to me.

Just about anything by Wilko, my favourite 'non mainstream' guitarist - although as much for facial expressions and entertainment value as anything else. Norman Watt-Roy on bass is a bit tasty as well. I got to see these supporting the Stranglers last year. Fabulous.....

OT - we watched the 'Game of Thrones' box set recently and Wilko was in it, playing an executioner. He certainly looks the part these days.

Didn't he have a band called 'Solid Senders' at one time? I can vaguely remember that name from a long since read copy of Sounds.

Cool, I'll take a listen to that - thanks mate. And it looks like the old memory isn't too bad, the year is definitely in the right period.

short guitar solo... isn't that an oxymoron ?
A short guitar solo according to my definition would be a "fill" ..... and yeah, on that front, there are many great ones.... too many to count.

If you ever want to know how to play that riff exactly, this guy think's he knows. Bloody amateur.... although he is vaguely familiar.

In one of the most dreadful concoctions ever...Band On The Run...right after Sir Paul sings "thought of giving it all away", the guitarist plays a tiny little crinky...crink...crunk thingy I just eat up with a spoon. I believe it's all of five notes long. Then, of course, there's the little super hi harmonic like fill that Joe Walsh plays in Hotel California.
