Pretty much any Yngwie Malmsteen solo, really. "Wield my Sword" has some sick solos.
Lindsey Buckingham's acoustic part in Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" is also one of my all-time faves.

I think you pretty much naild itOriginally posted by rage2
If I had to pick my ultimate top 3, it would be:
1. Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child Slight Return (at Woodstock)
2. Jimi Hendrix - Red House (at Woodstock)
3. Jimi Hendrix - Johnny B. Goode (at Berkeley I believe)
Ya, if you want an album full of amazing solos, just grab the Hendrix Woodstock DVD (new remastered one just came out) and the 2 disc CD set. Every solo just flows perfectly, along with tons of hard to play (for me haha) techniques.
Now, if no Hendrix allowed:
1. Guns and Roses - November Rain Live (From their Live Era CD set).
2. Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (the one where Eric Clapton is playing)
3. Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Slash = Freakin awesome. The November Rain and Estranged solos have so much heart in them it's insane. Slash FTW....Hendrix is fuckin great too. Malmsteen has technique like no other, but his music lacks emotion compared to Slash.

Totally agree, but slash's Velvet Revolver work (as well as some of the snakepit stuff he did) lacks emotion too. He only truly shined when he was with GnR.Originally posted by Nissanaddict

Eddie Van Halen - Right Now, and 5150 kick ass. Spanish Fly is and You Really Got Me are great ones. (EHV is hard to pick from...he has soo many great ones)
Metallica - I am still partial to the solo in Enter Sandman, though Sanitarium is great as well.
GNR - Sweet Child of Mine, November Rain and Patience. Paradise City has a better intro than solo
Ozzy - Over the Mountain, Bark at the Moon, and No More Tears. With Crazy Train and Flying High again running a close second.
Satriani - most of his are instrumentals but of his vocals I believe has a great solo. Always with me, Always with You and Summer Song are great instrumentals.
ZZ Top - La Grange
Clapton - His live Solos for Cocaine and Crossroads are always great.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

This just reminded me of an acoustic version of 'Rebel of Yell' by Billy Idol.
Steve Stevens played it using an acoustic guitar.. OH MY @#$! GOD was it ever awesome for an acoustic!!!
From an electric guitar to acoustic, it's unbelievable.

Here's a really low bitrate copy of Johnny B Goode by Jimi Hendrix live. He played half the solos with his fucking teeth. It's amazing to see on video. It's on several of Jimi's compilation DVD's. The song's available on the Hendrix 4 disc boxset.

What makes hendrix the best is that he makes great use of tones using wah, octavia, feedback... and unlike guys that just shred different scales, hendrix's stuff all flows very naturally. And it's not mechanical sounding, like the really technical players (steve vai for example).

Heres a couple:
Joe Satriani - Taught Kirk Hammett
Alex Skolonick - Testament and other stuff
Actually Any G3 DVD will showcase guitaring at its best right now. Lots of styles.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

for sure, velvet revolver had good tracks, but i dunno if slash lost it with sobriety, or he's just going for a "different" sound. some of the stuff on contraban reminded me a bit of joe perry, but it still is pretty simple stuff for slash.Originally posted by rage2

technical ability is cool but to make a really memorable solo, it really has to flow with the song, and almost tell a story in itself. thats why a lot of metallica's solo's, although badass, don't do a lot of me, same with VH

Hell, all Metallica songs own!
pretty much every older metallica song has amazing guitar solos, of the top of my head,:
4 horsemen, the struggle within, creeping death, disposable heroes, battery, sanitarium, one, and the end of nothing else matters!

I totally think it's a sobriety thing. Most of the best solos mentioned in this thread are during the guitarists alcohol or drug phases hehe.Originally posted by finboy
