Hard rock electric guitar riffs and solos in TFM...

[Bipolar]

I've been away from this forum for a loooooooooong time, so if this has already been discussed elsewhere, please merge this with the relevant discussion(s).

So... can we try to build a list of electric guitar solos (preferably hard rock-style, but stuff from any genre welcome) in TFM?

I know of a number of acoustic guitar solos in Ilayaraja's work (but these weren't exactly "rock"), but can anyone list electric guitar solos here (by any TFM composer)? I mean any stuff that can be used as a practice exercise for an aspiring guitarist? Or even if it is not beginner level, never mind, please post it here...

I mean are there any solos to the same level as "Sweet Child O' Mine (http://www.mp3raid.com/search/download-mp3/1/sweet_child_o_mine/1.html)" (by Saul "Slash" Hudson) or "The Unforgiven (http://www.mp3raid.com/search/download-mp3/10/the_unforgiven/1.html)" (Kirk Hammett) or the solo at the end of "We will rock you (http://www.mp3raid.com/search/download-mp3/1/we_will_rock_you/1.html)" (Brian May), etc. in TFM?

V. Good thread. I want to learn more myself, my benchmarks are below:

Guitar solo in prelude and second interlude of the song Madanorchavam in Sathurangam ranks for me no.1 among guitar bits in any music. It is V Kumar, the entie song itself is no.1 for interludes and preludes. wholesome, flowing and unbelievable instrumental pieces! I wonder if Hotel California came before this song, i say because of the awesomeness and continuity of that piece? Any one knows?

second i like is Deva' ROCK guitar interlude in nee paper naan paena in panchathanthiram.

IR has got several and one of the earliest rockish ones - he did one for song in Moodupani - Paruvakaalangil Manathu. I am not much of a fan of ilayanila song bits, they are quite light, though great

And, i do see that Indian composers are much more zany, melodic and exciting than Western rock guitar.

I found some heavy [ for tfm standards] guitar in songs like "baby shake it baby" from movie "KaaLi" and "vaadiyamma pon magaLe" from "Paalootti vaLartha kiLi" , both MDed by IR

"Edakku mudakkana" from Kalaignan, "Poattu vaiththa" from Singaravelan, "Punnagayil minsaaram" from Bharathan... all IR.
