Can anyone point me to an example (or several examples) of a post-Beatles Paul song that features lead guitar work? The solo doesn't have to be by Paul-- it could be anyone.

I'm trying to understand how important the guitar component was to his songs, vs. keyboard or orchestration, and I'm not too familiar with his solo catalog. Sorry, still working my way through! Thanks!

Look towards when he was with Wings. There are many songs in Wings that have heavy guitar work and guitar solos. Anything past 1979 is..well...80s..I'll post you some videos of great lead guitar work.(Especially from Jimmy McCulloch lead guitarist of Wings)

Here is 'Letting Go' mon. Their is a lot of heavy guitar in this song and a great solo.

Here is a Wings song written by Jimmy McCulloch with a great guitar solo. 'Medicine Jar'

'Beware my love' has awesome guitar work in it

This is 'Soily'. What an awesome song to end a concert!

If you want to know of more songs then be sure to let me know and I'll be sure to tell you some with great guitar.

Hooray, hooray! Thanks, Wordno and Mclennon! I'm downloading now on my extremely slow connection. This is just the kind of thing I'm after. Yay!

Some guitar work I liked from Pauls solo stuff would be-

'Somebody Who Cares' - Tug Of War
'Maybe I'm Amazed' - McCartney
'Too Many People' - RAM
'Juniors Farm' - single (Great Jimmy McCulloch solo)
'Let Me Roll It' - Band On The Run
'Angry' - Press To Play
'We Got Married' - Flowers In The Dirt
'Hope Of Deliverance' - Off The Ground
'Somedays' - Flaming Pie (Greatest song he ever did)
'Jenny Wren' - Chaos and Creation

These are just a few. Theres many more, but i'd have to sit down and listen to a bunch of them again which isnt a bad idea.

Here are some more songs Hairhead

Here is 'Junior's Farm' that Tkitna was talking about. Jimmy(or James. Thats what Paul called him in the video hehe) does have an awesome guitar solo on this song.

'The Mess' is an awesome song. Its got some pretty neat guitar work on it.(God...I seriously hope Paul pulls out some Songs from his Wings days for his next tour. He really needs to.)

Another great song is 'Big Barn Red'. It doesn't start right away. They are preparing the stage for about a minute and then they get into the song.

Of course I'm going to put 'My love' here. It has an amazing guitar solo and is such a beautiful song.

Thanks! I'm really enjoying these. I'm only partway down the list, but having a ball. Cheers!

Some of my Fav Macca guitar solo's or songs:

Maybe I'm Amazed
Medicine Jar (jimmy McCulloch)
Calico Skies
My Love (Henry McCullough - killer of a solo!)
Letting Go
Old Siam, Sir
Junior's Farm
No Values (obviously heard the ending in the Broadstreet film)
Get out of my way (Robbie McIntosh)
The World Tonight
Used to be Bad (Steve Miller) (best duet he ever did in my opinion!)
Jenny Wren

So you heard all the songs yet Hairhead? If so, what did you think? Oh and do you want me to post more?

Not nearly! I only got up to McLennon's list. My connection is slow, so I load one or two songs a night after I stop working. My favorites so far are "Letting Go" and "Medicine Jar". Yes, I'll happily listen to more if you have more links to post. This is way fun.

Thanks for all your help!

Heart of the country has some great guitar, not sure if its Paul doing it but i like it:

Thanks, McLennon! I'm about halfway through the list.

Great Day is another great guitar song by Macca!

Here are some more song.

This one is 'Wino Junko' written and sung by Wings lead Guitarist Jimmy McCulloch. Its a Wings tribute with that song. The song has great guitar and bass too.

Here is another great song by Wings and its called 'Hi Hi Hi'. I would love if Paul did this song on his upcoming tour.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GVOs3NeGBM

This one is called 'Let me roll it'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZpSjcPftaA

This is 'Ninteen Hundred Eighty-five'. Its probably one of the best songs on the 'Band on the run' album. It has such a killer guitar solo and such and awesome ending. Paul is doing live vocals.
