There are a lot of brilliant guitar solos i can´t decide.

  1. Hackett - Firth of fifth, Circus of becoming, Riding the colosus, this world, dancing with the moonlight knight, supper´s ready, 12, etc....
  2. Gilmour - Comfortably numb both of them, money and there´s a solo at the final part of eclipse wich is great but it´s hard to listen.
  3. Howe - Starship trooper, gates of delirium, close to the edege etc........
  4. Snowy White - Set the controls for the heart of the sun (live Waters In the flesh)
  5. A lot of Mr fripp solos.
  6. Stolt - A kings prayer, Duel with the devil, etc........
  7. Daryl Stuermer - River so wide (Phil Collins)
  8. Paul McCartney - Once upon a long ago.
  9. Lolo- Don (Miranda) jaja just kidding.

I´ll stop here because there are a lot of guitar solos in my mind  but my hands are getting tired of writing.

ohh can you feel our souls ignite.......

The solo for "Peel The Paint" - Gentle Giant is pretty good too.

I agree, anybody who loves Hackett's work should listen to this piece of music. I actually prefer it to any solo he did with Genesis!

But my actual favourite solo is Steve Howe 'To Be Over'. Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up on every listen.
