Members Soundstorm Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm gonna have to go with Alex Lifeson on Limelight. Every time I listen to that song I have to backup and listen to the solo a second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 100 watt Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 The woodstock Improvisation - Hendrix. Basically everything played after "Purple Haze" . Some beautiful stuff in there. 2nd - Machine gun (Band Of Gypsys). That first LOOOOOOOONG sustaining bend is the audio equivalent of busting a nut. 3rd- Floods. Dimebag. 4th- Comfortably Numb. Gilmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phrophus Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Possibly Cause We've Ended as Lovers by Jeff Beck or Black the Sky by Ty Tabor or Son of Mr. Green Gene's by Frank Zappa phuckifiknow...too many awesome ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Turner Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Both of the solos from "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. Not overly flashy, technically speaking, but such great melody, phrasing, and guitar tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChristianRock Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Probably Another Brick in the Wall Pt II by Gilmour. Runner ups would be Sultains of Swing by Mark Knopfler, Satriani's Summer Song, Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover, and I have to include John Petrucci's Another Day, which I usually play every time I wanna see how a neck pickup sounds...

Members grimorian Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Comfortably Numb (especially the pulse version) and Floods are probably my favorite solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zeppelin Rules Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Comfortably Numb is pretty orgasmic. Especially live (though by Roger Waters' band) and while on MDMA. Clapton's solo on Crossroads is one of my all time favourites. Hey Hey My My-Neil Young, I just love the dissonant, broken sound he gets on the bends with the combination of Bigsby and octave-down. Since I've Been Loving You is probably my favourite Page solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nick H Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 One of the first to come to mind is Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions, not sure if its my all time fav, but it sure blew my mind as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metalguy Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Comfortably Numb for me as well. Every time I hear that I just can't help but sit and listen and marvel in the perfection of tone, feel, and cause goosebumps rolled into one moment of bliss.

Members Elessar [Sly] Posted October 26, 2012 Members Share Posted October 26, 2012 There are a couple of solo's on the RHCP slaine castle DVD that are very epic. There are loads... I just can't think of any at the moment O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JimiRules Posted October 26, 2012 Members Share Posted October 26, 2012 Jimi's solos in Machine Gun and Bold as Love are as good as it gets for me. I also like Clapton's solos on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. I've always liked the solo on Believe by Lenny Kravitz too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ke2 Posted October 26, 2012 Members Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hotel California I got in here to say that That, and "Stars" by Hear n' aid. Because it is loooooong, hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tech21man Posted October 26, 2012 Members Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hetfield says that for a brief time, the solo is the VOICE of the song and I agree completely, so, I guess my answer would be any solo that actually fits the context of the song and adds to it, to its story, whatever. Sometimes some songs maybe noisy dissonant masterpieces, so yeah, firework wankery may be just the stuff for them. I can't argue with tom morello's solo on killing in the name of for example. Other than that, some other solos that more or less engraved their notes in my brain are metallica's hammet in the god that failed solo, petrucci's slow theme solo from glascow's kiss, stevie ray vaughan's solo on couldn't stand the weather, Hendrix's little wing, the mother of all solos.
