I know, I know, I'm going against the holy parchment of no patronizing guitar, but I thought it would be cool to see what everyone's favorites solos were.
Some of mine:
Reelin' In the Years - Steely Dan (Elliot Randall)
Under a Glass Moon - Dream Theater (John Petrruci)
Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix (amazing rythm playing in the song also)
Unforgiven - Metallica (Kirk Hammett)
Just to name a few of course. I know I have more.

I also dig a lot of work by Petrucci, really cool stuff IMO. Steely Dan has some great ones too. Bodhisattva is the jam! Then there's Pink Floyd, lots to like there, too many to list. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: London, UK | | | Any of Pete Cosey's solos from the first disc of Miles Davis' 'Agharta'. Cosey would often rearrange the order of the strings on the guitar neck to confuse any guitar players in the audience.
Also, pretty much anything played by Eddie Hazel (Parliament-Funkadelic). RIP. One of his best performances is on the track 'Super Stupid'
It's a shame that most people haven't heard of these guys.

As Woodchuck said is Mark Knopflers solo on Sultans of swing really good.
I can't help but liking Eddie(?) van Halens solo on Jump.

| | Pat's the best! | | Join Date: Dec 2000 Location: Northern Virginia, USA | | | Jason Bieler's solo on the song "Going On" from the Saigon Kick album "Devil In The Details" has always been one of my favorites.
To get a little on topic, Paul McCartney's solos on "Taxman" are pretty great, too.
And Nigel Tufnel's Solo on the title track from Spinal Tap's "Break Like The Wind" is awesome. |

Some of my other fav's:
Steve Howe - Live version of Your's Is No Disgrace from Yessongs.
Steve Rothery(Marillion) - his solo in the live version of Easter
Alex Leifson - The beginning of La Villa Strangiato
Keith Richards - Sympathy For the Devil
Randy Rhodes - Goodbye to Romance
I'm sure there are many others I am forgetting, Pat Metheny, Steve Vai, George Harrison, John Petrucci, Dweezil Zappa, etc. etc....
