FREEEEEEEEEEEEEBIRD!!!!! Nah, just kidding. My favorite solo has to be "Rivers Dancing" from Gordian Knot. Oh my god it is such a powerful solo. Well made by Ron Jarzombek (a master guitarist in my opinion). |

Would you like some Bailey's? |

the first that comes to mind: Dream Theater - Hollow Years (Live at Budokan), the guitar solo in the middle. Maybe some day I'll be able to HUM the entire thing and upload to youtube. |

I wish prog noobs would stop commenting Dream Theater because as much as I love DT the guitar solos are just metal they really should remember solos like Firth of Fifth by Genesis, Awaken by Yes Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd and La Villa Strangiato by Rush

Of all time? That might be the one in the middle of "Roisin Dubh(Black Rose): A Rock Legend" by Thin Lizzy.
In a prog album, that's a bit tougher. It's an offbeat choice, but I might have to say "Goliath" by the Mars Volta.

WatchTower - Control and Resistance, nice and twisted and a fantastic bass tapping along...
and then probably Fates Warning - Static Acts, what a wonderful tone that solo has.... |

May's solos were always really cool. My favorite non-prog guitarist, and definitely one of the top five guitarists of all time. Also love Gilmour's solos, Dogs comes to mind and this is probably the song with my favorite solos. Hackett's and Latimer's solos were also always very emotionally evocative. I could probably name 100 favorites, but don't really feel like it.
Dogs it is.

I'm not sure which solo is my absolute favorite... probably something by Steve Vai. Steve Vai is my favorite guitarist of all time, I know that much.

I'm really impressed by guitar works by Andrew Latimer of Camel in the albums Mirage and The Snow Goose.Of course,I think some solos by Ritchie Blackmore unique,especially in "In Rock".The other one is David Gilmour in very much stuffs,especially Comfortably Numb,Echoes,Time,Hey You,and all around the album Wish You Were Here,which is my favourite.Mick Box of Uriah Heep in Salisbury,too!Steven Wilson in Fear of a Blank Planet and some songs from In Absentia.John Petrucci in Metropolis part II and some other works.Some twin lead guitars by Iron Maiden preformed by Dave Murray and Adrian Smith....and morre and more

Well I mentioned a couple of Queen solos a while back. But I have to say that I absolutely love the "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon". I find it not only a wonderfully cheery ditty, but revolutionary (like other of May's solos) by combining music hall tunes with electric guitar instrumentation and overdubs. I can't help but smile when I hear it.
