Does anyone have any thoughts on their favourite Barney guitar solo on a NO song, or even during a live song?
I think the solo at end of State of The Nation is pretty cool, as is the acoustic solo on Guilty Partner.
On the live front, Ive always liked the added guitar work Barneys done on Perfect Kiss.
The end solo of "Dream Attack", live. The most emotionally resonant thing he's played since the Joy Division days.
i like all the guitar on brotherhood- especially SON and way of life. i think i agree with agent wood on most barney topics actually

Run is sublime. Agreed. I also think Age Of Consent has a cracking solo. Both are simple to play but that doesnt matter.
Shadowplay doesnt count. I was refering to NO songs only.
I know someone is going to kill me for this, but I right now i'm really in love with the solo from Rock the shack. And I also really love his solo's from the Brotherhood album. I don't think this really counts as solo's, but I've come around to being a fine time love because the guitar parts are amazing on it.

Sorry just getting used to seeing "State of the Nation" and "pretty cool" in the same post 
As for favourite guitar solo, I've always found the plucking on Love Vigilantes really catchy, and some of the power strumming on earlier singles like Everything's Gone Green and Temptation is pretty spine-tingling.
The spazzy bit at the end of Love Vigilantes (You know - chg-achg-achg-achg-ahcg-a-chg-achg-achg).
Not really a guitar solo but... stupid, histrionic, brilliant and faux-naive. Only New Order could get away with it.
Sunrise or Age of Consent have always been favoured Bernard guitar parts for me to play. You probably have to go back to Denial for a great one though!
does anybody have the tab for that last part of love vigilantes? i know it's only 2 chords but i can't figure out which.
I can only think of ONE real guitar solo, and that's actually a duet ( yes I did go to the Murray walker school of explanations). I'm thinking of the call and response thinkg between barney and hooky on shellshock.
There's also some scarey guitar on confusion, but either barney's been hiding the fact that he's really pat metheny all these years or it's a bluffer.

Is it G and F barre chords alternating (played at high end of guitar)?

oh hell yeah... i knew you'd mention that almanso. angel dust has probably the angriest (and best) solo. the end of state of the nation is pretty good as well. and someone mentioned the second half of new dawn fades on still... tops!

Yes! I'm completely with you on this one, especially since it's really only two chords. Similarly, I love the scratchy bit in Age Of Conscent which is really just one chord, but what he does with that one chord is brilliant.
I love the guitar work on Everyone Everywhere.
On Joy Division music, Barney give us so much great stuff... let's say New Dawn Fades

On AOC the scratchy bit is a D barre chord.;)

just saw the clip of shadowplay performed on the show tony wilson did for granada- bloody brilliant! for me the most interesting bit was bernard's guitar, even if the cameraman was trying to film up his left nostril for some reason
Novelty, Lonesome tonight.
Barney agreed with me once the downside to his vocal duties was that he no longer concentrates on his guitar work as he used to
When I finally come up with an answer for the New Order guitar solo, someone has said it - Run.
And for JD - New Dawn Fades [Still version], which someone has said already.
Yeah, but how much of the guitar part on New Dawn Fades is Bernard? Sure he played it, but it seems that he is just playing the melody that hook came up with. Unless hook didn't come up with the melody on that song. But great guitar work none-the-less. I air-guitar that part all the time while driving.

RE: the guitar solos in the original 1983 versions of Confusion-I thought I read(or heard)somewhere that one of Arthur Baker's co-producers on Confusion-a certain Mr. John
Robie-actually played the solos. Has anybody else heard or seen that fact/rumour
