Best ever guitar noises?

sPliNtEr_777 · 06-27-2009, 07:43 AM

I wondered what people thought the best sounds/noises guitars have ever made are?

here would be my top 5
5.Herman Li's pacman noise
4.Steve Vai's wah
3.surfacing intro (mmmm... whammy)
2.James Hetfield's tone
1.Double Natural harmonic divebomb

What do u guys like?

darbdavys · 06-27-2009, 07:46 AM

does bass guitar count?

sPliNtEr_777 · 06-27-2009, 07:48 AM

sure! forgot about that. I love the distortion/wah thing cliff burton had going on. Bootsy kicks arse too like, nothing in particualr, he just generally kicks arse.

ALEX NEWPORTS SOLO TO THE FUDGE TUNNEL COVER Of "SUNSHINE OF YOU LOVE".

IbanezShredderB · 06-27-2009, 07:52 AM

The weird and non-complicated-yet-totally-badass textural noises Korn used to make back in the day on their first four albums.

Metal Ken · 06-27-2009, 07:54 AM

i like the sound of smacking the whammy bar while doing some kind of melody. A Good example of this is Andy LaRoque on King Diamond's "Arrival" solo (2:37 in the song).

liamh · 06-27-2009, 08:07 AM

Steve Vai's feline guitar sound in the song Glorius

jonathan_addams · 06-27-2009, 08:15 AM

The distorted wah-ey riffs Zakk Wylde played on Ozzy's "No More Tears". I don't think a single guitar phrase ever had the same effect on me. I can remember exactly the first time I heard it and nearly falling off my seat.

Also, the guitar solo's from Skynrd's "Free Bird" and The Eagles "Hotel California".

Oh, and the opening of "South of Heaven" - simple and perfect.

phatfil · 06-27-2009, 08:34 AM

David Gilmour's screaming strat in the solo for 'Time'. specifically, the one at 4:11 into the song.

darbdavys · 06-27-2009, 08:44 AM

I love

for some reason.

also that quick whammy hit on

1:36

vontetzianos · 06-27-2009, 09:01 AM

One of my favourite solos ever has to be Satriani's souls of distortion at from about 2:20 to 2:35. It gets me every time.

distressed_romeo · 06-27-2009, 09:04 AM

That screaming noise at the beginning of Morbid Angel's 'Nothing Is Not', and the wierd synthy lead tones on 'I' and 'At One With Nothing'.
TJ Helmerich's DJ-scratched guitar solo on the first track of 'Uncle Moe's Space Ranch'.
Any of Preston Reed's various percussive effects.
The old double-speed effect with a slapback echo (Nuno, EVH, Albert Lee, U2, etc).
Adrian Belew's animal noises.
Any of Andy Summer's flanger-generated textures.
EVH's use of the phaser and flanger to accentuate parts of a phrase rather than just leaving 'em on.
Steve Vai's whammy-pedal melody on 'Touching Tongues'.
Mathias Ekhlund's 'whacked' harmonics.
Whammy bar gargles.
Jeff Beck's combination of bar manipulation and volume swells.

Harry · 06-27-2009, 09:48 AM

Pretty much every guitar noise Tom Morello has made I absolutely love.

vontetzianos · 06-27-2009, 10:06 AM

Those weird synthy solos on Special Defects.

thesimo · 06-27-2009, 10:23 AM

the 2 sec long weird super wide phaser/flanger in WhiteChapel - This is exile
Backing guitar in Outkast - Chonkyfire

and a bunch of others :P

vampiregenocide · 06-27-2009, 10:56 AM

Theres a part in 'Ghost' by Mnemic that is like a divebomb I think, that was quite interesting.

telecaster90 · 06-27-2009, 11:05 AM

Anything ever played by David Gilmour. I'm also a fan of screaming into the pickups.

Excalibur · 06-27-2009, 11:14 AM

Adrian Belew's playing on "Elephant Talk".
Jaco's harmonic flurry on "Portrait of Tracy".
Steve Morse's volume swells on any song.

Scar Symmetry · 06-27-2009, 11:15 AM

+1 on the whammy in The Stillborn One, I use that all the time in my lead.

_detox · 06-27-2009, 12:07 PM

The "glitch" noise Sky Eats Airplane has been using all over their new cd. I believe it's made by taking a delay pedal and turning the feedback up all the way.

I'll second that. Also, whammy flutters and sustainiac stuff as well.

MFB · 06-27-2009, 02:48 PM

Half of the effects from Kiko Loureiro's "Dilemma" specifically at 21 seconds in

Mattayus · 06-27-2009, 03:18 PM

Dimebag's divebombs in Cemetery Gates are pretty damn spectacular, as are the crazy ass whammy pedal abuse in Good Friends and A Bottle of Pills
