i don't really understand what makes a "good" guitar solo? i mean, maybe i do... when i listen to necrophagist, i am like "oh that solo is really melodic but complex. good solo!" i mean, most death metal bands have killed solos. but then i hear j's solos get praised and i'm like "hmm.."
certainly, a lot of j's are tolerable, but... i dunno. i never really "got" long solos. and i probably couldn't differentiate a "good" solo from a "bad" solo, because any solo that goes over 30 seconds is probably bad.
so yeah. i dunno.
i just usually hate guitar solos.. especially greg ginn's and the slayer dudes'.
