Hard to pick just one! For me, it's a 4-way tie.
"Red Alert" - Tony Williams Lifetime (Allan Holdsworth)
"Firth of Fifth" - Genesis (Steve Hackett)
"Do It Again" - Steely Dan ( Denny Dias)
"My Love" - Wings (Henry McCullough)

Classics, but my preferred ones:
Comfortably Numb by David Gilmour
Firth of Fifth by Steve Hackett
The Snow Goose by Andrew Latimer
Sultans of Swing by Mark Knopfler
Telegraph Road by Mark Knopfler
For the moment, these are my favourite ones.

Another guitarist here: Hendrix's Watchtower, Page's Dazed and Confused are the absolute classics.
Hackett's parts on the heavy part of "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" are great
Gilmour is the best of emotional rock players, with too many great solos to pick, though I especially like the part in "Money" where the reverb suddenly gets pulled.
I'm a big fan of Lifeson's solo on "Limelight" as well
Guilty pleasure pick. John Sykes solo in "Crying in the Rain"

well my favorite favorite guitar solo in a song is a difficult one to say but i can enlist the first five that i like it:
1. Hosanna, Ceremony, Spook Tooth, the solo deliver in this song is a really bone crushing and Luther Grovesnor is in the best fine form, 1969.
2. You're is not Disgrace Yes Album, Yes, probable the best Howe solo in all his career, look how's playing backwards in the first solo.
3. Musical Box, Genesis, One of the best constructed solo of a progresive group, Hackett is in his finest form.
4. Reeling in the Years, Steely Dan Canīt Buy a Thrill, Dennis Dias and Skull on his best solo in the best album of Steely.
5. Willie the Pimp, Hot Rats, and underrated solo of FZ.
There are many more to enlist, but i can remeber those.

favortite ever....ABB- Dreams... the immortal Duane Allman...
everone says Gilmour is an emotional player that speaks with his solos.. pfff.. has nothing on Allman. The song is on my webpage... listen to it if you haven't heard it. Sweetest slide playing this side of Elmore James. runner up Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 Terry Kath. Edited by micky - August 12 2008 at 17:12 |

Paul does all of the shredding. Also, I agree with both "Under a Glass Moon" and "The Spirit Carries On"
I could go on and on with this list, but I'll just do my current favorites.
Petrucci - "Trial of Tears"
Stolt - "Silent Inferno"
Rothery - "The Great Escape" Edited by Moatilliatta - August 20 2008 at 21:24 |
