What is your favorite guitar solo?

Eyes of the World- around the 6:40 mark of 2/26/77 is AMAZING. Jerry just rips while bobby hangs tough.

Another vote for Achilles Last Stand..

Nirvana - Serve the Servants

 

[Iron Woode]

I love the guitar work in "She Sells Sanctuary" by the Cult.

Plus, Billy Gibbons plays a mean guitar too.

 

[Slikkster]

My intuition tells me that despite what the next poster says, he really thinks "Beat It" has the best guitar solo.

Dragonforce, My Spirit Will Go On, it starts around 4:00 in or so...maybe not my favorite, but definitely up there.

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

Radiohead - Paranoid Android kicks my ass.

The ending solo to Joe Satriani's song ironically called TIME is absolutely Killer..

I've seen Satch in concert 5 times and met him once back-stage to chat for about 20-miuntes. Very interesting guy.

Other than perhaps Jimmi Hendrix, there are no guitar players in this thread within a light year of Joe Satriani. The guy is simply too technical to bother with cheezy rifts, and he's given lessons to a few individuals mentioned in this thread.

for me Lights (Journey) makes me just stop what I'm doing and turn it up. Neal Rocks

Journey sucks and always has since about 1980. Their first couple of albums are the only ones that actually rocked.

Neal Schon is a very talented guitarist, who unfortunatley stuck with a band that turned 'ballad rock' to make the top 40 and buy Steve Perry lots of shampoo.

I saw Journey play a fair back in about 1999, and the best part of the concert was when Schon played some of his own solo work while the rest of the band was off stage.

Oooh...oooh!

I got a kick-a$$ one for ya'll

Mark Knopfler - "Telegraph Road". Beat that!

 

[UglyCasanova]

Neal Young - Cortez the Killer (and the Built to Spill cover even moreso)

 

[JohnAn2112]

Dimebag Darrell - the ending to "Floods".

Please allow me to drop Mr. John Petrucci into the conversation, then.

My favorite: Petrucci's solo in "Stream of Conciousness" by Dream Theater on "Live at Budokan."

 

[Fritzo]

Whole Lotta Love and Pink Floyd's Young Lust.

Gut wrenching

 

[silverpig]

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing
Jimmy Page - Intro to Since I Been Loving You off of How the West Was Won
Jimmy Page - White Summer/Black Mountain Side on the DVD
Zakk Wylde - No More Tears (I think that's the one I mean...)

Purple Haze/Voodoo Child

Yep. One day I will be able to play it...one day...

 

[vailr]

Eric Clapton: live (1967) recording version, (with Jack Bruce on bass guitar) of "Spoonfull" (Cream: "Wheels of Fire" album).

 

[Mrvile]

Rhapsody - Land of Immortals has a great solo...flows great with the keyboard too.

Nightwish - She is My Sin has a really short and simple solo but I love how it sounds.

 

[spike spiegal]

I gotta add my nod to all the mentions of Pink Floyd in here. While waters and gilmore got boring in their old age, when they were together Floyd was one of the best innovative and downright best produced bands ever.
