Your All Time Favorite Guitar Solo

I tend to like soaring solos
Allan Holdsworth - Jean Luc Ponty - Don't Let the World Pass You By
Allan Holdsworth - Tony Williams -Red Alert
Frank Zappa - The Muffin Man
Gary Moore - Coloseseum II - Last Exit
Les Paul - Tiger Rag
 
how about some of the soloing from Ramblin' Man? awesome song... the weird science teacher at our school always plays music really loudly in the hallway in the morning... he was playing that this morning and I just stood and listened for a couple minutes. Awesome.
 
BTW JimmyM, why in hell - no disrepect - would JB be haunting Mothersbaugh's studio? They have as much in common as apples and platypuses.
i don't know, p...they sure seem pretty comfy cozy together in my avatar ;)

they actually have a lot more in common than people think. devo is supposed to be all about machine-like precision but they're deeply rooted in the blues, and jb is all about the blues and r&b but he strived for machine-like precision in his music.

OMFG, that's what happens when I write without coffee! I never even noticed before , duh! :D

I like your observation, too...peace man.
 
A few are from,

"Do it again" by Steely Dan. I really like how the guitar has a sitar sound and how its blends its self into the for coming keyboard solo.

"Man in the Box" by Alice Chains. Its not the most epic but there is like 3 or 4 seconds that is played and every time I hear it I scratch my head like" how did he do that?"

I have other but drawing a blank

( I would like to add the solo from the song "the Ritual" from the same album performed by Alex Scholnick of Testament)
 
"'Cause We've Ended As Lovers" - Jeff Beck
"Crossroads" - Clapton with Cream
"Double Crossing Time" - Clapton with John Mayall
"Red Alert" - Allan Holdsworth with Tony Williams
""Nostalgic Lady" - Allan Holdsworth with Jean Luc Ponty
"Theme To The Mothership" - Bill Connors with Return to Forever
"Siberian Khatru" - Steve Howe with Yes
"Ritual" - Mike Miller with Chick Corea Elektric Band II
"Black Napkins" by Frank Zappa
"Third Stone From The Sun" by Hendrix
Sabbath's "War Pigs" was pretty danged cool!
"Wheels of Confusion" by Black Sabbath is an overlooked gem!
 
Yes he is so underrated. He is on my list of idols. Mind you its a short list.

Frusciante`s solo work is all over the map; some good, some interesting, some awful. But, I looove the track "Murderers". It is a fantastic instrumental. Flea always got the spotlight with the Peppers, but John is what really took them to the next level - he will be missed greatly.
