Favorite Guitar solos/licks on Chinese Democracy

[GNFNR-UK]

I'm surprised that no one mentioned guitar works on Madagascar.

I can't believe I forgot to mention 'Madagascar' too, although I was mainly focusing on solo's. I love how Richard Fortus (I think?) holds that note as Axl screams and then just let's it go as it goes into the second verse. I know the part I mean anyway

1. BBF's work on whole album

2. This I Love solo

3. Sorry solo

Axl's guitar parts in There Was A Time!!! 

[HoldenCaulfield]

It's an amazing guitar album. Blows me away every time I hear it. Robin's solos take the cake for me (Better, Street of Dreams, This I Love), as well as his acoustic parts in 'Sorry'. Bucket's work on 'If The World', 'Sorry', and 'Madagascar' are all great, especially 'Sorry'. Love the bluesy parts of it. Ron contributed greatly as well, with his additions to 'Chinese Democracy' and 'Shackler's Revenge'. Everyone's at the top of their game, but I'm sorely disappointed in the lack of anything great by Richard Fortus. He's definitely capable. The crown jewel of the album as far as guitars go is 'There Was A Time', though. It features the best guitar work since 'November Rain', IMO...

That would be Buckethead, not Fortus.

[COMAMOTIVE]

The TWAT solo is off-the-charts better than anything else on the album and is up there with some of my favorite Slash ones

If the World has a very cool one too

I like Robin on Street of Dreams even though I dislike the song

I still think it is Fortus, with booklet not being final cut. But that is just me.

Axl's guitar parts in There Was A Time!!! 

which one's are they??? lol... i can't figure it out.

I love the solo/outro of TWAT.

Also the first solo in ChiDem is good too.

[Mobenrad]

Buckethhead's work in general on this album is amazing. I think it contributes so well. You can tell it's him. It's very unique.

[Henson]

The guitar work on the entire album obviously is insane! But if i had to pick a few personal favorites they'd be:
-Fincks work in This I Love, Better and Twat, IRS.
-Thal's  solo at the end of Shackler's (Near the end of the solo, it lasts for maybe two measures, some sort of sweep picked slide? Is that even possible?)
-Bucket's Twat solo, blurts of shredding in Prostitute, and his work in If the World
-Never mind this list could go on all day!

[Rainfox]

There's..... I can't decide.

Everything!

The guitar work is unreal.

And it still works for the songs, not as 'exercises'. Which is amazing.

i love all the parts when bucket and bumble play super fast.  it's like so fast it almost sounds like a keyboard or computer program.  i almost have trouble listening to old gnr now because the guitar playing just sounds so basic.

[The Catcher]

Buckethead solo on Madagascar.
Buckethead outro on Riad.
Guitar outros on IRS.

Agreed. There's too many impressive guitar moments on CD to even mention.
Bumble's solo in Catcher is another gem. Also those moments on Riad and IRS where you have these cool guitar sounds in the background over the solo. What a fucking complex record in every way. Axl was right in calling it that.

I think Finck's star work is his solo on Better. It's crazy good, even though it's so simple.
And yeah, Shackler's is badass too. I like the tapping on the outro chorus especially.

[The Catcher]

The list grows yet bigger, I always forget to mention something.
Well;

The guitar solo on Scraped.
Anyone know who plays it?
Credits say both Bucket and Bumble.

when it first leaked neemo and me guessed the d f# c#f# f#e b c#d~bit (from the 2:37 mark on the album)could be by axl....

[mrarkadin]

My favorites: Robin's stuff: intro on Better, solo on This I Love, first solo on Catcher. Bucket's solo on There Was a Time and Sorry. Ron's additions to Chinese Democracy and his solo on Shackler's are also fun.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I think the coolest fucking musical piece on the album might be the solo on Shackler's

You have the slamming drums, the medieval military war chants, the bad ass rhythm guitars, and Ronald's wacky solo.  I had to listen to it a bunch of times to really get how cool it is

[The Catcher]

I've already mentioned the obvious ones but I feel like I should add Buckethead's fucking sick outtro to Riad. That's the most head-trippin', mind-blowin' playing I've heard in a fucking while. Credit where credit is due.
