Favorite Guitar Solos

[xanis]

I'm pretty sure this has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything relevant and I'm bored. 😛 What are some of your favorte guitar solos? Ones that give you the chills they're so good... Mine are below.

"All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix
"Time" by Pink Floyd

 

[Q]

One I enjoy but not to the extent of getting chills is the end of "Free Jumps" by Andrew W.K, it's not really a solo, mainly a single guitar playing the vocals if that makes sense but I like it.

Nobody has probably heard it though

Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away

That gives me serious chills.

Not too technical, but i love it still. Love the chemistry between the three.
Not a solo i suppose.

Not necessarily a "solo" per se but I love watching Tommy play

Comfortably Numb - Second Solo
Free Bird - the whole damn thing
All along the watchtower - hendrix
black - trey anastatio
something - beatles (geroge harrison)
Stairway to Heaven
blue on black - kenny wayne shepherd
cocaine - eric clapton
crossroads live - eric clapton
November Rain - Slash
Alive - Pearl Jam (Mike McCready)

Those are some of my favs off the top of my head. My favorite of all time is Comfortably Numb. All other solos are inferior in my book.

Fade to Black - Metallica is one of my favorites.

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On, Goodnight Kiss, Stream of Consciousness

I love playing that on GHII.

Dire straits-Tunnel of love

 

[Beev]

I like Van Halen's Eruption a lot, and the solo from Through the Fire and Flames.

 

[cherrytwist]

Nigel Tufnel - VW Commercial

 

[Connoisseur]

War Pigs - Black Sabbath definitely belongs up there. Incidentally, also fun in GH 2 🙂
