| Blimey, there's loads. Steve Howe on intro to "Close to the Edge", also during 1st part of "Awaken". Fripp in "Easy Money". Dave Gilmour on "Comfortably Numb" and "Money". Steve Hackett in "Firth of Forth". McLaughlin in "Meeting of the Spirits". Zappa on "Willie the Pimp". |

A lot of Howes lead guitar playing sounds 'messy' and he's not among my favourite guitarists for that reason. However, the closing section of Starship Trooper I find very dramatic, and his solo is very effective in that context. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

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. And if we're including non prog, just about anything by Wishbone Ash is great but the solo on Living Proof (from Just Testing) is particularly superb as is the whole of Argus. |

The solo of Steve Hackett in the live version of "The Knife" is one of my all time favourites. Two other great ones are by a sadly very little known guitar player, Roman Bunka (of Embryo, Aera and his own band). On the "Live" album of Aera he plays an excellent one in "Lost Scooters", and on his first solo album "Dein Kopf ist ein schlafendes Auto" he plays an incredible one at the end of "Heartbeat", starting very slow and bluesy, with only a few seemingly random notes, but picking up an incredible pace after a while and going really wild. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

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!!!

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. ------------- I was made to love magic |

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. -------------

Aside from prog metal, "The Four Horsemen," by Metallica. I
don't know, 'A Stairway to Heaven's," solo is just too cliche and also
not prog. Sure it's an amazing piece by Page (which, by the way, I
mastered on the guitar) But, come on, it's Zeppelin. As for a
favorite prog solo, I would have to vote for Rush's, "Freewill." |

Not prog, but I have three: Aqualung - Jethro Tull - Martin Barre plays an intense and tasteful solo on this one. Too Many People - Paul McCartney - another wonderful, tastefully played solo.
