Most Technically Difficult SP Solo?
I would suppose the obvious choices are Starla and Drown, but me not being a guitar guru... would anyone else have any opinions about the most difficult solo to play?

About 30 people are going to come in here and shout 'Geek USA!!1!' because bolly made them stoppen ze cuppen with it. I think Bury Me's definitely up there, what with the modal changes and the fast harmonics

As I said, I'm not really a guitar player, but listening to the Drown solo... I've never heard a guitar sound like that before. So, I would've assumed it was pretty hard. Maybe I'm wrong.

Some people will say the Starla solo, but I think that's cheating... because that all improvisation. Trying to copy it exactly would be silly... Billy didn't even copy the studio version of the solo when playing it live.
Anyway... I'm not very good at guitar yet, but I tried playing along to most of the Siamese Dream solos today, while looking at the tab book. I was able to do cheap imitations of Soma, Cherub Rock, and Quiet... but there's no way I could even imagine doing the Geek USA solo. ------------------ "love does not always have to be quiet and graceful, it can be boisterous and loud and even rude, to shout above the din to be heard sometimes... if only to bring a little peace" -bc http://www.suicidekiss.org |

I subscribe to billy's theory on soloing, which is to never attempt to copy somebody elses solo, cuz it just won't work...thats my 2 cents in case you're an aspiring player or something...it's helped me alot

The best solo by the pumpkins for me is the one in "For Martha". That solo kicks ass!!!
I don't know if it's their best 'technically', though... |

Basically, with the Pumpkins, the most difficult is gonna be whatever is the fastest. A lot of the time the cool sounding stuff just comes from held, bent notes, which are pretty easy to play, and it's not like Billy is into crazy Satriani stuff or Van Halen fingertapping.
So you've got Soma and Geek USA up there, cause they've both got superfast runs in there, and Untitled seems like it would be a bitch to try and pull off, too. Then there's Starla, just because it'd be hard to string all that stuff together. I haven't gotten to the point where I'm trying to bring off Gish stuff, either -- most of that sounds pretty rough, though I haven't sat down with a tab and tried to go through it, so it could be easier than it sounds. But that's sort of my take -- guess I didn't have a lot to contribute, after all. |

The solos in Nothing and Everything sound like a bitch to play ... there are some insane runs in that one, unless it's some trickery I'm unfamiliar with.

the solo in Fuck You is kinda difficult to pull off cause it's so damn fast.
and i think one of the most "technical" solos has to be all that shit from Glass and the Ghost Children. no shit. ------------------ no one knows who Sarah Dougher is. |

billy said that the solo for zero was planned meticulously beforehand, and that it took like 3 hours to set up the right distortion.
also, it's not hard but billy had to do like 30 takes of the quiet solo to get the feedback just right. ------------------ the aeroplane moves whether you want it to or not. cram packed with fuel injected jet missile action, this is war motherfucker and don't you forget it for one second. |

live, James plays the Zero solo, so doesn't that mean he recorded it in the studio.
in a sound board recording of the vancover 97, James is right and bolly is left, and as the right channel has a wah, and the channel on the left starts zero and plays the TAFH Solo yadda yadda. |
