Rock’s All Time BEST GUITAR SOLOS! Pt 13 #shorts #guitar #guitarsolo #classicrock
“25 or 6 to 4” is a song written by American musician Robert Lamm, one of the founding members of the band Chicago. It was recorded in 1969 for their second album, Chicago, with Peter Cetera on lead vocals.[1]
Composition
In a 2013 interview, Robert Lamm said he composed “25 or 6 to 4” on a twelve-string guitar with only ten strings—it was missing the two low E strings—and that he wrote the lyrics in one day. The band first rehearsed the song at the Whisky a Go Go.[2]
Lamm said the song is about trying to write a song in the middle of the night. The song’s title is the time at which the song is set: 25 or 26 minutes before 4 a.m., phrased as, “twenty-five or [twenty-]six [minutes] to four [o’clock],” (i.e. 03:34 or 03:35).[3][4] Because of the unique phrasing of the song’s title, “25 or 6 to 4” has been interpreted to mean everything from a quantity of illicit drugs to the name of a famous person in code.[5]
The song’s opening guitar riff has been compared to chord progressions and riffs in other songs. In the opinion of writer Melissa Locker:
…the opening guitar riff from Green Day’s “Brain Stew” bears a striking similarity to the opening stanza of Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4.”[6]
LA Weekly’s music editor, Andy Hermann, names it “The Riff” and describes it as follows:
It’s a descending five-chord pattern, typically played as power chords over four bars, with the last two chords sharing the last bar. The most common variant of it goes from A minor to G to F sharp to F to E, although it can also be played as Am-G-D-F-E or even Am-G-D9-F♯-F-E…[7]
Hermann details the riff’s similarity to the chord progression in Led Zeppelin’s version of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” by Anne Bredon, which came out a year before “25 or 6 to 4”, and the similarity of that chord progression to one in George Harrison’s song “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, which came out even earlier. He labels “Brain Stew”, released in 1996, as “derivative” by comparison to “25 or 6 to 4”.

A True Master of the Universe – gone too soon.
I'm sure Terry 'IS' one of the best of them !????
Underrated, OVER talented! Shredding when few others were, and for a top 40 band! Definetly in my top 10, great comment. Peace
Looks like he's having a seizure
Corey Feldman needs to watch this video.
Yes
I do and this was live
Jimi Hendrix said Terry Kath was the best ever. Gotta listen to someone like that
Hendrix.."Your guitar player is better than me" on Terry Kath
Yes Yes Yes
I first heard him in 69 70.didnt appreciate him then.got old albums out ant what the fuck was I thinking. So they had horns.in 70 wasn't cool. But it is now. Tres cool
This solo has been analyzed by some of the best axemen around, and most of them admit having their faces melted…
Terry Kath was the shit. Way way too soon.
These boys from Arlington Heights were awesome
It is great, of course so is the guitar solo in freeBird know what I mean!!!
Most definitely
Always check your gun before pulling the trigger. Terry was a master at the guitar
The term “into it” being perfectly illustrated by both Kath and the band as a whole. When you can push yourself towards that, you’ve got it figured out.

Terri did not get the recognition he deserved as the lead guitarist and singer in this monstet rock band whose mame epitomised the band@ CHICAGO rocks!!!
Terry died on my 15th birthday.
No. 1 greatest guitarist and excellent singer too
Jimmy Hendricks said he was the best.
Tangle wood 1970.They blew the Who off the stage
Roger McGuinn 8 miles high awesome
Jimi wanted to work with Terry… ????????
Trey Anastasio. You can pick which one.
This solo is brilliant for many reasons. My fave is that he didn't even stop or slow down to breathe. It was continuous and unique throughout. He didn't repeat passages either. Just a brilliant musician. RIP. Chicago was never the same without him.
Maaan, Terry was a monster!!! I worked w his cousin snd childhood best friend Arnold in the HVAC industry for the past 3 years in NW Ohio. Every time i went out to see them as my customers, Arnold had pics snd of VHS tspe of Terry as a teen just killing on guitar..RIP
Jerry garcia is much better
Even Jimi Hendrix was very impressed that he asked the band Chicago to go on tour with him.
The best guitar player in rock history big time!????
Maybe Cory Feldman?
Go Terry! Now this, is Chicago!
Machete by Buckethead. The most sublime guitar solo ever.
Yay that’s my favorite guitar solo
Demasiadas notad y fraseo incongruente….poco gusto!!
Is that Corey Feldman ????
