Guitar solos to break you and heal you part 3

Vicky

You’ve probably been waiting for my take on guitar solos, so here it is — but first, a quick intro. My musical taste spans from Pop Rock and Indie to Brutal Death and Black Metal, and my picks reflect that range, though I’ve kept the Black Metal to a minimum (I know not everyone’s a Burzum or Darkthrone fan). I could ramble endlessly about what makes a great solo—or why “Nymphetamine Overdose” by Cradle of Filth and Liv Kristine is, in my view, a more refined take on Symphonic Gothic/Black Metal than “Nymphetamine Fix”—but I’ll spare you the tangents and get straight to the list.

Once upon a time, the little Stargazer was in the car with his dad. They were listening to the radio and a rock song came on. I could not remember its title or the artist for the life of me (no Shazam back then, alas), but I will never forget the exact moment when the guitar solo came on.
