Best Guitar Solo

[HmcR]

What do you think is the best guitar solo ever?

I personally like Alterbridge's Blackbird, Scorpions' Rock you like a hurricane & Guns N' Roses' November Rain.

Please Share your thoughts :)

[trevor2000]

November rain is great, I like The Mars Volta - Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt

[yakir132]

There is no doubt - Santana - Maria Maria ..

[HmcR]

The solo on Free Bird is really good

Stairway To Heaven? Amazing Solo
There's also the guitar work on Dogs , the track from Pink Floyd's Animals.. Amazing guitar stuff from Gilmour

[EMZ]

Buckethead solos, all of them :)

[PlayeR]

Santana is the best solo player

[copacabana]

i really love John McLaughlin - Reincarnation and Leo Kottke - Ojo

[RyCooder]

I think Zakk Wylde's solos are the best...!

Stairway to Heaven

[K7]

The Messiah Will Come Again- Roy Buchanan

Still Got The Blues For You- Gary Moore

Breathe- Pink Floyd

Say Wha?- SRV

Now that's some great music taste.;)

My favourite it's the third solo from "Dogs" by Pink Floyd.

[soulreaper]

Stairway to Heaven and Brothers in Arms comes a close second.

[theDarer]

I'd have to say the solo from "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd

[fstalk]

Stairway to Heaven

[cpt_azad]

I've lost my faith in guitar players from this one thread. Stairway to heaven = best guitar solo? :huh:

Wheres Dimebag? Malmsteen? Loomis? Amott Brothers? Where are the talented guitarists with kickass good solos in all aspects from emotion to speed?

Anywho, no such thing as the best guitar solo, that's like saying who's you're favorite child, you can do it but it's so very wrong haha

My picks:

1) The Last Enemy and/or Vultures - Arch Enemy
2) Born and/or The Heart Collector- Nevermore
3) Black Star and/or Far Beyond the Sun - Malmsteen
4) Jato Unit and/or Miles of Machines - Jeff Loomis
5) Splintered Visions - Into Eternity
6) The Trooper - 'Maiden

Brain fart. Anyways, this list can go on forever, grab some John Petrucci, some Hendrix, there are so many better songs/artists out there that can write a hell of a good solo full of emotion that moves you. Be bold, try something different instead of sticking to what everyone else is sticking to if you catch my drift, other wise you'll miss some great music!

Don't flame without actually listening to the songs I listed, specifically the solos...

P.S. highly recommend people to listen to the outro solo to Bridge of Destiny by Arch Enemy (5:30 into the song)

[killuminati96]

Ted Nugent - Stranglehold

The guitar dominates this song.

[McBride]

Stairway to Heaven

[cpt_azad]

Not technically a guitar solo but Andres Segovia playing Mozart's the Magic Flute.

2) in need - Grand Funk Railroad - Live Album
3) child in time - Deep Purple - Made In Japan
4) zoom club - Budgie - In for the Kill
5) machine gun - Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys
6) freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More from the Road
7) super boogie, hong kong blues - Santana - Viva!
8) phoenix - Wishbone Ash - Live Dates
9) basking in the white of the midnight sun - Armageddon - Armageddon

There are many others.
