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

Eh? That sounded like a mess to me.

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

That's Eddie too, right?

 

[Leper Messiah]

One.

 

[Skunkwourk]

Eruption probably takes the most skill but personally I like Freebird as well...

Not even close, specially considering it's mostly two handed tapping which, while flashy is not as hard as other guitar techniques.

In terms of difficulty:

Sweeping Arpeggios >>> Tapping

 

[JackBurton]

FREEBIRD! I love that guitar solo.

Yeah, sweeping is definately harder. I suck at sweeping. I can get the downstrokes right, but picking upward is what gets me.

Stash. DUH!

 

[Iron Woode]

what!? no:

Sunshine of Your Love - Cream

Mr. Tambourine Man - The byrds

 

[WildHorse]

 

[remagavon]

Master of Puppets. Nothing Else Matters has a really good solo (on s&m) as well, and honorable mentions go to sweet child of mine, comfortably numb, and Fade to Black.

 

[Sheepathon]

Comfortably Numb's closing solo is poetry in motion.

man in the box

[JoPh]

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

good choice

 

[Midlander]

Before I read your list, the first thing I thought of was Mason Williams and Classical Gas. It's not rock, but it's good guitar.

 

[StrangerGuy]

I voted for Time.

Some of the "best" solos such as Stairway are all skill, no style, no emotion.

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

while not the most technically difficult solo, Comfortably Numb by Dave Gilmour is pretty amazing.

erruption and that stuff Jimmypage13 provided, while its skillfull and all i don't care for that in terms of awesome solo's....takes a lot more than speed, like someone mentioned, it's all about the feeling....
