In no order or genre -
Marrillion - Out of This World (short but great emotion in that solo)
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (powerful)
Genesis - Firth of Fifth (especially on Seconds Out)
Holdsworth (UK - In The Dead of Night and on Jean Luc Ponty's Nostalgia from the Individual Choice album - the Nostalgia solo is one of my all time favorites. send chills up my spine - it's incredible)
Yes - Starship Troopers
Be Bop Deluxe - Sister Seagull (great guitar work all over that song - check out Axe Victim by them if you haven't already. Bill Nelson tears it up quite a bit on that album)
Van Halen - You can't deny the inpact that "Eruption" has.
Montrose - Town Without Pity (great version - Open Fire album is a guitar fan must have)
Queen - Brighton Rock
There is so much, I better stop or I'll be here all day!!!

The my all time fav solo would be Petrucci's solo from Lie.. not 2 long, powerfull, melodic, gives me shivers... what would I want more?
If You want a perfect blend of emotions & skill try his opening solo from "Freedom of Speech" by LTE.. my 2nd fav of all time (followed by Wasted Years)

The solo on Everyday by Steve Hackett is everything that is good about prog guitar playing: two finger tapping, effects, melody, speed, control, emotion.
There are many other good solos (Latimer does dozens, as do Hackett, Gilmour, Green, Rothery etc etc etc) but this is my favourite. |
I second this! I could easily listen to it ten times a day but I try to refrain as I don't want to get bored with it, lol. Three and a half minutes of pure guitar bliss, and not a second too long at that; a wonderfully composed solo, which just keeps growing until the very end. Granted, I only have the live version from Time Lapse so far, but I look forward to hear the studio version at some point soon.

Pink Floyd - Time
That's, for me, the most beautiful guitar solo ever. There's something in the way Gilmour chooses to play certain parts of it... anyway, it's really hard to explain... like most sublime things in life.

1:Pain of Salvation - King Of Loss. This is probably the best guitar
solo I have heard, this side of Green Carnation - Light of Day; Day of
Darkness.
2.Green Carnation - Light of Day; Day of Darkness. 3 minutes is too short for this solo.
3. Pain of Salvation - Song for the Innocent. I swear I have this solo
mentally memorized with how it sounds. Such a beautiful solo.
