MARTY FRIEDMAN

WUTHERING HEIGHTS Pat Benatar, Crimes of Passion GUITARIST: NEIL GERALDO

“Simple and beautiful. A rare case of slide guitar not sounding southern, just wistful and sad, yet somehow uplifting. A perfect example of when a good song gets the solo that is just perfect for it.”

A MAN I’LL NEVER BE Boston, Don’t Look Back GUITARIST: TOM SCHOLZ

“Just gorgeous. It’s a great example of romantic, melancholy playing and a nice chord progression made up of simple parts. The way he follows the ritard towards the end and finally resolves with the root note is a tearjerk button. The whole solo leads up to that simple and pure resolve.”

STRANGE WAYS Kiss, Hotter Than Hell GUITARIST: ACE FREHLEY

“This solo is pure fire.”
