Solo question thread

Post by \m/Tremonster\m/ »

I have one question about a guitar solo, but since people might have multiple questions, I figured I'd make one thread.

First question. Who does the solo for "I Know It Hurts"? Sounds like Myles, but not 100% sure.

Thanks!

It's Mark Tremonti. You can find that out by watching any live performance of the song :D

Pretty much all solos are Mark's unless there are 2 on a track.

I am sure Myles does the ending of Before Tomorrow Comes in the studio, it doesn't sound like Mark at all.

Myles actually does the second 'solo' (a couple of bends, but still a solo) in Buried Alive. The first and third one are by Mark.

It's done by Mark, but Myles actually does the first solo in this track. Live at least.

That's basically just the intro yeah, I mean as far as we know from live performances; it was Myles.. But in the studio? We weren't there so won't 100% know. There's no reason why Myles didn't play it

Wikipedia says that Myles only does co-lead in Rise Today and the title track as far as Blackbird songs go. But it's Wikipedia, so who knows.

Not sure what that is exactly suppose to mean but as far as I know Myles did the lead bits(all the slide guitar stuff) while Mark does the actual solo which is how they did isolation except in reverse.
