I spent frikkin' HOURS rehearsing this for gigs. Clever little turn there.

Vai, Malmsteen, Van Halen, Satch, Jeff Beck are undoubtedly excellent. Jimi Hendrix - dunno where he got it from.
Also that solo by Eric Clapton from something down the Highway, can't remember the title - 9 min long solo 'bout.

OBTW - I'm a single humbucker mayan mahsel'.

Eric Clapton "stormy monday"from the Cream reunion
Steve Hackett from Genesis "fifth of firth"
And just about anything from Frank Zappa,Robert Frippe,John Petrucci,Steve Vai
Heres Cream 4:15 mark he gets into it but the entire song is worth listening to especially Jack Bruce on the fretless bass

Free Bird _ Lynard Skynard!! One of the most beautiful and stirring and loong guitar solo's ever!

Well.. it depends on what the OP meant by solo... live or recording?

Many, many, many guitarists are amazing on track, but are mind blowing on stage; like Angus Young for say. Sounds great on track, but bumps it up on stage. Not all guitarist are like that however... too many bands get so drunk while on stage they can't even play properly. :1orglaugh

Anyway, for the best guitar solo... A very tough question. Like I asked before, live or on disc? (not a "live disc" :1orglaugh)

For recording, "Let There Be Rock" by AC/DC is one of my top favorite solos. Even live, the way they used to extend it so much was great :thumbsup:

[Flanker]

At least the most emotional guitar solo I've ever heard.
Dr. May shows that you doesn't have to play fast to be good guitarist. :glugglug:

I will always remember sitting on my friend's patio when he played Van Halen's "Eruption" for me for the first time. other solos may be technically better, may be muscially better, but I think we can all agree that "Eruption" changed rock music. The finger tap had been done before, but not in such an explosive way. Van Halen was born onto the scene and a whole new sound as well.
