I'm going to be married on saturday. My wife has been really cool with my addiction to pedal stuff ( hours of soldering, painting, web browsing, paypal bills etc...) so I wanna play a guitar solo during our wedding as a gift.
I'll use my pedal gear and a friend's les paul custom, vox night train.
So I wanna know what's your favorite love song guitar solo, to help me decide wich one should I play (considering I won't have a lot of time to train). I already know Still loving you from Scorpions, nothing else matters of Metallica, november rain from the guns and some stuff like that.

Thanks!

Since I've Been Loving You- Zep

Best-solo-ever. full of emotion, dynamics, passion and all that other gooey stuff  ;D

Wow!  I would have never been able to play at my own wedding.  I had a hard enough time not passing out due to the overwhelming emotions/nervousness.

How about the solo to Love Song by Tesla?  It's an iconic solo, and not too technically challenging, so it wouldn't be impossible to learn by Saturday

Congrats, BTW :)

Me surely? ;)



My vote goes to this (EDIT: just noticed you were after a love song.... whoops!):

We had a band at our wedding and our first dance was to Always with you always with me by Joe Satriani.  F'ing Brilliant

I'm not a nervous guy, I always felt sleepy during my tests and exams, and said "ok cool" when I knew I graduate. Lol
I'm only nervous while debugging pedals and waiting for parts or pcbs in the mail box  ;)

Thanks for all your ideas, I will give it a try tonight while she's asleep. I love Satriani but this is a challenge out of reach..

I pulled out "Wonderful Tonight" by Clapton at my wedding.  She dug it.  Easy to play, but just downright sexy.

I agree, wonderful tonight is sexy and charming, I will give it a try  ;)

Seriously? Nobody picked up on "Han Solo"? Really?

Ok, two series recommendations. I consistently aim for the tone in this song, and I think it's attainable to learn it. There's a great Mayer/Urban version out there too.



Here's another good romantic song that's not too difficult
