Your All Time Favorite Guitar Solo

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Slash/GNR - Sweet Child of Mine

Of course! How could I forget it? That's such an awesome solo.

 

[Hoover]

I just wanted to add a few more to the list. They don't quite have the import of my #1 (post #51 above) but they're still memorable and awesomely succinct chunks o' guitarage:

- Robert Fripp, on David Bowie's "Fashion"
- Andy Summers, on The Police's "Driven To Tears"
- Mick Taylor (presumably), on The Rolling Stones' "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'?"
- Adrian Belew, on King Crimson's "Neal & Jack & Me"
- John McLaughlin, on The Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Vision Is A Naked Sword"
