Steve Hackett - Firth of Fifth (Genesis 1973) - ghostly, spectral & very, very special
Robert Fripp - The Night Watch (King Crimson 1974) - precision personified
Hendrix - Voodoo Chile (1968) - controlled wildness, great stereo panning too!
Mark Knopfler - Brothers In Arms (Dire Straits 1985) - emotional & sublime
Tony Peluso - Goodbye To Love (Carpenters 1973) - the sustained fuzz that initiated the 'power ballad'
Paul McCartney - Taxman (Beatles 1966) - cutting Eastern mode & on a George song too!
Andy Davis - Help Under Doors (Stackridge - scorching live improv at Astor Theatre, Deal, October 2007)
Ritchie Blackmore - Livin' Wreck (Deep Purple 1970) - wine dark, subtle & brilliant
Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn (Part One) (1975) - an original guitar voice, one of his finest moments
Peter Green - Man Of The World (1969) - supreme touch and makes every note special

Serenity Painted Death - Opeth is my favourite guitar solo ever, hands down. Also, I think the solo from Kid Charlemagne - Steely Dan deserves a mention.

To some degree yes. I think it's because about 95% of all songs ever written have the obligatory guitar solo, so it's always nice to hear something different. Bass solos get my attention every time, and I'm really growing to like some sax solos especially by Mel Collins and David Jackson. Flute solo is always a killer. But well, some of my favourite guitar solos, not in order: Jeff Buckley - Forget Her Talk Talk - I Don't Believe in You Camel - Ice, Straight to My Heart, Lawrence Overhead - Point of View, Entropy Iron Maiden - Stranger in a Strange Land In Flames - Satellites and Astronauts Many others should come to mind. edit: Great, of course I forgot the Best of All Time: Comfortably Numb from Pulse.

Everyone, please do yourselves a favour and track down James Reyne's "Always the Way" from his 1987 self titled album and play it very loud. The guitar 'solo' by Jef Scott the makes up the last 2 minutes of this track is the best i've ever heard (and 'I've heard a few). Youtube won't do it justice unless your PC is hooked up to a decent sound system.
I played it to a fanatical metalhead friend of mine one day while driving throught the eastern suburbs of Sydney. At the end there was just a stunned silence for a few seconds before he slowly said "My God" and insisted that i replay it continuously until we completed or journey. Anyone entering an air guitar competition to this break would be pretty well guaranteed to win.
Strictly speaking it's not a solo as there is a drum backing but its close enough.

5. Rock Bottom (Michael Schenker/UFO)
6. Have a cigar (David Gilmour/Pink Floyd)
7. Merry go-round (Roine Stolt/Flower KIngs)

Any Colour You Like - Pink Floyd: that short but sensational guitar, very spacey, magic!
Lunar Sea - Camel: after the spectacular Moog solo, you got a really wild guitar The Illinois Enema Bandit - Frank Zappa: just so poweful and awsome! Starship Trooper(Yessongs) - Yes: after the great added moog solo you got some mind-blowing guitar by Steve Supper's Ready - Genesis: all the solos are just fantastique! I am the Sun(pt 1) - Flower Kings: precise and great Rudy - Supertramp: dramatic! many many more! |

Um; I'm amazed no one's mentioned Alex Lifeson. How about his leadwork in "Working Man"? Class.I should also mention "Through The Fire And Flames" by DragonForce. Wow.
