The only solo I'm actually capable of remembering every time I asked this question is Petrucci's Peruvian Skies solo.

Latimer at the end of Nimrodel, in Lunar Sea and at the start/middle of Lady Fantasy.
Hackett on Every Day (and probably other songs too). Satellite (don't know the name of the guitarist)'s 2-3 minutes ending solo of "On the run" Nick Barrett : almost all of his solos, especially the ending of Master of Illusion, or Learning Curved or Indigo. |

More of a duet, the intro to Sweet Jane from Lou Reed's Rock n Roll Animal always gets the air guitar going.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Steve Howe's two guitar solos in Yes' Ritual (Symphonic version especially). When I'm in the right mood, the second one can make me cry.
Yours Is No Disgrace and Awaken for runners up.

one big clappie that solo kicks Hillary levels of assery....and one headscratcher  ... am I the only one that VASTLY prefers the studio version of the Last Days of May to the live version... I much prefer his raw moody guitar tone to the (necessary I suppose) overamplied live setting.. that is a song that sh*ts raw moody and dark... it loses out a lot live in big stadiums IMO. |

this is a woefully incomplete list but simply some of the best up-to-date guitar virtuosic moments i can come up with. of course “best” is subjective. my take on it is the perfect marriage of the technical and emotional. anyone can play like a robot. many non-technical players can play with great conviction, yet the marriage of the two transcends the music lover’s spirit into true bliss Eddie Van Halen - Eruption Randy Rhoads - Mr Crowley Bumblefoot - Guitars Suck Ron Thal - Strangles Ron Thal - Chopin Fantasy Steve Howe - The Clap Jason Becker - Air Marty Friedman - Forbidden City Matthias IA Eklundh - Numb Buckethead - Nun Chuka Kata Ritchie Blackmore - Highway Star Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony Paco De Lucia - Cepa Andaluza Steve Vai - Fire Garden Suite King Crimson (Robert Fripp) - Fracture Berndt Steidl - Metamorphoses Mahavishnu Orchestra (John McLaughlin) - Awakening yes there are many others including Satriani, Thordendal, Shawn Lane, Steve Morse, Malmsteen, Petrucci, Al Di Meola but none of their antics reached the heights of the above. This was a quick impromptu list so very well could have left out someone i totally wish i could’ve added! |
