This thread is for guitar solos . Though technical performing skills (singing, instrument playing) in general don't seem to be as important to today's mainstream music industry ..., I love the way a good guitar solo pours out the heart, soul and guts of a song. As I stated before, I love all of the obvious classic solos and anything by Django Reinhardt, Joe Pass and Jimi Hendrix. I love guitar solos from all genres, whether it is classical, blues, jazz, country, acoustic, rock, flamenco,"latin"...I encourage you to share your favorites, there are no right or wrong answers.

As I said before the Great Forum Crash, "Barracuda" by Heart is one of my favorites.

I agree with many of what you've said and also the "Still got the blues"

especially the solo starting @ 3:45

The solo in Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page is God.

I always thought that solo was messy. He has much better solos. Unless you mean the live version.

I usually don't like guitar solos but in Muse - Invincible, Matt Bellamy shows why he's a one of the best guitar players in our time... Fantastic guitar solo, finally something new...

And also well maybe not a "good" guitar solo, but i'm loving Aaron North's insane solo in Nine Inch Nails - The Big Come Down live version...
