Zappa. I love his dirty solo guitar sound on the '73-'75 records.

Though I voted for Rush 'GUP'. The clean, almost mechanical guitar sound just fits in perfectly with the whole album.

I went with Akkerman on Eruption although the Hocus Pocus solos are virtually unbeatable even by the likes of Mr. McLaughlin, Holdsworth  or Fripp.

Also Andy Revell (Guitar Solo in Sequences (Live @ the Target)).

Andy gets an awesome sound there matching all the criteria! Good spot

My all time guitar sound goes to Steve Rothery on "Forgotten Sons" - the hairs on my neck just stand up from start to finish, and the emotions run so deep you  feel like you're drowning in them. Loudness? Well, it's not so much the loudness as the quality dynamic that makes the guitar sing and resonate above everything. Purity? Check! Echo? There's EXACTLY the correct amount of delay to start the shivers running up and down the spine. Atmosphere? 11/10. Sustain? Perfect!

...

Where is Andy Latimer?

Almost everything he does on Mirage fits the bill here.

...

Steve Hillage's greatest moment has to be "Castle in the Clouds" on "Angel's Egg" - possibly the most sublime guitar solo in the history of the instrument (and one of the shortest!).

For Dave Gilmour, I choose "Comfortably Numb" - but I'll agree with anyone who argues that another Gilmour solo is as good.

...

On the available choices, I choose Steve Rothery in Jigsaw, Incubus or She Chameleon (they're all great!)

LATIMER YEAH. HOW CAN YOU LEFT HIM OUT. LADY FANDASY´SOUND IS AMAZING.

ANYWAY I VOTE FOR LA VILA BECOUSE it has POWER DEAPTH AND EMOTION.
