I love the solo on A MILLION LIGHT YEARS
It's so fast and melodic and sounds really hard he truly is the man

Acoustic part of "Infinity".

Actually, there are so many--I have to think about which is "best".

I like the ones on CVAT alot.

Speed of Light for sure. On CVAT I like Soldier's Prayer a lot too

I love the guitar solo on forever free, full of melody
But the one on infinty is simply beautiful

I'd save the say his solo in Infinity (my favorite Stratovarius song

) although there is no solo of his I do not like - he is so awesome!

The one on Visions.. it's so full of emotion, especially when he plays it live. An all time fave, for sure. :headbang:

I don't really know, there are so many. But one of the best is for sure "Will the sun rise" (though the song is not my favourite), after 2nd chorus, where he plays a duett with Jens, sounds very classical. Genious!
"Holy Light" is great as a whole, all solo parts are superb. "Kiss of Judas", just to mention one more.

I've always felt the same way about this particular section you speak of. Apparently Jens and Timo were listening to some Bach before

I really like Speed of Light and Will the Sun Rise solos. No doubt they are my favorites.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 7:59 pm

Yes, I have heard the WTSR solo you speak of. Being a good fan of bach and his fuges, I really enjoyed it

i totally agree with you.

I also think that one of the most difficult one is The kiss of judas.

yeah, so right! This part is great! But also the shift from the violines to guitar. Anyway, TS is simply a very beautiful piece of music. Especially the end...

But it's so hard to mention only two or three "best solos". Think e.g. of "Mother Gaia" solo, after the chorus. It takes the melody of Kotipeltos singing, but a step higher. SOOOOO emotional, it's incredible!!! In "Liberty" it's the same: Picking up the chorus' melody a step higher. Though these soli are technically not so hard, they really sound very emotional.

And there are so many other...

That is so true I have the tabs for it I can play It but just not as fast as TT
but It's getting there.

I'm a big fan of almost all Tolkki's solos. I can't really pick one.

Veripalttu · Post by **Veripalttu** » Fri Aug 13, 2004 11:22 am

Kiss of Judas and will the sun rise?

Stratostone · Post by **Stratostone** » Fri Aug 13, 2004 3:30 pm

Both the fast and slow solos on "Twilight Symphony" are the best. And as we can listen from Stratovarius discography, later Tolkki used the main melody of the last "Twilight Symphony" solo in a lot newer songs like "Mother Gaia","Elements" and in "HymnToLife" album in the song "Father"... To not forget, EDGUY copied many years later this solo in "Unbeliever"song of their "Theatre of Salvation" album...

Thingofil · Post by **Thingofil** » Sat Aug 14, 2004 2:00 pm

its hard to pick his best solo's, surely those of Black Diamond, Will the sun rise, Twillight Symphonie, Destiny and also a lot of his 'older strato songs (Reign of Terror etc.)' hold some cool solo's

there is no bad tolkki solo
