The Best Guitar Solo of All Time

[Pacfanweb]

Depends on whether you mean degree of difficulty or in terms of influence.

I'd have to go with Eruption for the influence....for the most part, the world had never heard anything like it when it came out. Eddie's playing spawned pretty much all the fast playing and crazy stuff that came afterwards. Lots of guys later could actually play faster, but Eddie was the one that started it all.

[Iron Woode]

and I forgot:

anything by Jeff Beck.

the man's a guitar god.

 

[IAteYourMother]

Chose Eruption, but I absolutely love the guitar in Shine on you Crazy Diamond

 

[FP]

What about White Summer/Black Mountainside?

Does it count as a guitar solo even though the whole song is just guitar?

It does have some guitar overdubs, perhaps knocking it out of the running.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Gonna have to go with eruption.... insane sh!t. If you really want to see some crazy stuff buy this DVD. Went out and bought it the other day... very good and very long. Worth the money :thumbsup:

 

[Ns1]

that's hard...


i <3 the solo from while my guitar gently weeps (esp. prince's version)....


but my vote goes to pf - time

 

[Babbles]

Comfortably Numb!

 

[Kilgor]

I like Orion by Metallica

Edit And Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix.

 

[SVT Cobra]

Hmm comfortably numb is in the lead, I probably would have said that it would have come in second.

 

[thirdlegstump]

I prefer my own for some reason. Never Die solo by Yngwie rocks though.

 

[SVT Cobra]

Would anyone else like to vote?

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

While the studio version of Comfortably Numb is great, I have to say DG doing it live is in a league of its own. If anyone has seen or heard the extended solo he does in the PULSE concerts you know what i'm talking about. Makes my jaw drop everytime.

 

[ForumMaster]

GET A LIFE DAMNIT! that's a long list! how long did it take you to make it? oh and where are the doors?

 

[Vegitto]

Clearly missing the "About A Girl" solo..

 

[TrueBlueLS]

Wow... I'm surprised I wasn't the only one who picked Mr Crowley. Glad to have some Randy Rhoads fans in here.

 

[JDrake]

bump....

 

[JDrake]

Ok, I finally voted - it was too hard to decide, so I picked Layla because that's like one of the only I can play
Anyways - Comfortably Numb didn't get my vote because the solo was too enhanced by drums... and, yes, where is Cream??

 

[Evadman]

THere are a bunch, but I think I will go with Orion.

 

[FallenHero]

Master of Puppets

 

[Linflas]

"Green Grass and High Tides" should be on that list.

 

[Tom]

I love the clean sound of George Harrison on the Beatle's "Day Tripper".


And I think Hendrix' best is "The Wind Cries Mary."

 

[Evadman]

WTF? Didn't I already vote in this thing?

 

[SVT Cobra]

Bump for the Patriots fan.

 

[SP33Demon]

Eruption of course.
