    For Whom the Bell Tolls Kirk has a "Repeated solo" that would fit your scale.

      its not repeated as if its twice or more times in a song

    I often call breakdowns (at least the older style of breakdowns) "rhythm solos", if that counts. They're riffs that usually fill the same space as a solo, but with a focus on rhythm and timing as opposed to melody.

    Kiko Loureiro's previous band, Angra, has all those categories. Their album Temple of Shadows would be a good example, with songs like Spread Your Fire and The Temple of Hate, both songs with some of Loureiro's most insane guitar works.

      @@lucasgraeff5391 first time I heard Kiko’s playing was back in 2003. One year later Angra released Temple of Shadows, which was the album that made me like the band. But as a Brazilian knowing their music since I was very young was part of the metal scene I was kinda into. Sadly outside Brazil people still don’t know guys like Felipe Andreoli and his insane bass playing as well as they know Kiko, now.

    “The Final Countdown” is also a good example of a repeated solo, since pretty much the whole solo gets repeated. Also Opeth are gods of long riffs: Deliverance, Ghost of Perdition, Blackwater Park…

    Same for The Outlaw Torn final solo, the main leak repeats many times.

  • @Jackobo6

    Children of Bodom. They have plenty of songs with leads and harmonies that are kinda riffs at the same time. Songs like Hate Me!; Needled 24/7; Are You Dead Yet?; Bed of Razors; Downfall, etc.

    • @tomkovjak666
      @tomkovjak666 5 місяців тому +1

      Exactly. On their early albums the borders between soloing and riffing were very open. Bodom After Midnight is a great example, the whole song is basically a set of riffs ending with solo licks.

    Was kind of hoping for Now That We're Dead to be mentioned. It has a cool sort of Outlaw Torn-esque section after Kirk's solo that blends the riff with lead guitar.

    'soli' comes from the Italian grammar and is the correct term when speaking about classical interpretation (which was also the word that the Merriam Webster was describing), meanwhile solos is the correct word for the contemporary meaning of it - in metal, jazz, rock and other genres \m/

      Exactly. The word "hero" comes from Greek and "solo" from Italian.

  • @psiklutz8665
    @psiklutz8665 4 місяці тому

    I feel that an excellent subject of focus on this topic would be Megadeth's Tornado of Souls, especially in the bridge section.
    If you take each part of the song on its own, it feels like the bridge parts between solos are a harmonic 'solo-ish riff', but because of its placement and accompaniment in the rhythm once the upper lead harmonization starts, it feels less like a riff and more like a solo-preamble that jumps up from that main riff below, as if hanging on it and preparing to swing into the solo itself.
    Of course, I could be thinking too hard, and Iron Maiden also has plenty of neat examples when you get into harmonizing lead parts, but that's another can of worms; all in all, there's a definite difference between a riff and a solo and a lick, but it's fascinating to me (as a musician by hobby) that half of that difference lies in what the rest of the band is doin'. Neat stuff.

  •  5 місяців тому +1

    Some songs in "Temple Of Shadows" make me think "wtf is it suppose to be? Solo or riff?" 😂
    _Note: Angra was the band of the ex-Megadeth Kiko Loureiro. Really good guitar work!_

    For me, a good exemplo os solo that sounds like a riff, or the "Riffy Lead", would be the James's final solo on The Outlaw Torn, because it is technically a solo but realllllllly repetitive and sounds a lot improvisated

  • @LordCAR
    @LordCAR 5 місяців тому

    I feel the categories are well selected, however, I think switching „Long Riff Melody“ with „Riffy Lead“ would work better. Reason is that the former is a melody and hence more solo-Like than riff-like, and the latter is more about riffs. But of course, debatable … 😊

    All Nightmare Long + No Remorse = Nothing Else Matters
    Then:
    Escape + Don’t Tread On Me + Attitude = ?
    Ride The Lightning + Hardwired + Atlas Rise = ?

    The Outlaw Torn + Cure + Slither + Metal Militia = ?

    is it a riff? a solo? a hook? a chorus, a bridge, an interlude, an introduction, a crashendo? music theory is laborious and kind of pointless so i like to ask "does it sound good"? and if i does sound good and it moves people, labels can only weigh it down like baggage when they are associated with the emotions and stigmas related to the labels we put on the music, and it can turn it into something else entirely, for better or for worse.

      Well, most "solos" have accompaniment from other instruments - drums, bass, etc. Not to mention "solo" albums aren't done by one person either. The term isn't meant to be taken that literally, Maiden or otherwise.
