The Best Guitar Solo of All Time

[SVT Cobra]

My favorite is Angus Young's solo in ACDC's You Shook Me All Night Long.

Trying my new automated poll program, hope it works.


What do you think is the best guitar solo ever?

 

[Proletariat]

Wow huge list, I'd pick Freebird even though I don't like southern Rock all that much.


You should add Freedom by RATM to this list.

I like the opening to AC/DC's Thunderstruck but thats not on your incredibly long list so I picked Smells like teen spirit as I'm a Nirvana fan.

 

[Eli]

Damn, that's a tough one. :Q

 

[The Pentium Guy]

Eruption is just crazy and requires a ton of skill to play, I just don't like the song itself though.
Hows about Far Beyond the Sun by Yngwie?

[vedavox]

under a glass moon? thats a very good one, but not JP's best. the one from voices is better.

i voted for comfortably numb.

 

[Rastus]

25 or 6 to 4 -- Chicago

It's so good there have been a couple songs that came later and were hits that used that solo note-for-note.

 

[CraKaJaX]

damn... you listed most of them. i'm impressed

 

[kogase]

EMI by the Sex Pistols. Studio only, of course.

 

[BrokenVisage]

The best is Eruption, but I picked Starship Trooper because someone has to.

 

[Proletariat]

Are you gonna go my way

That Smell

Freedom

all need to be added

Completey forgot about that one.

AMAZING SONG.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Out of the songs I knew by name, I had to pick "Beat It"....that solo just rocks out.

My second pick would probably be "Hot for Teacher"...again from that list.

IMO, just about any solo from Iron Maiden can hold its own against any other group.

bump come on nerds post!

 

[sniperruff]

free bird is freaking crazy.

the end?

you stoned too?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I can't decide between Strange World's two solos or Mother Russia's five solos. Both are awesome and carry a ton of feeling.

 

[Noema]

Tornado of Souls, by Megadeth (the guitarist is Marty Friedman).

Tell us about this, PLEASE!

I think if you see this, there is no doubt that Eruption is probably the best. I gave my personal vote to Time.
