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. ![]()

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.

John Fahey

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...

Two (relatively 'new') great solos:
Audioslave - Doesn't Remind Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOMSB7s15C8
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Readymade

Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do".
Bachman Turner Overdrive's "You Aint Seen Nothin Yet".
ZZ Top's "Stages".
Joe Satriani's "Summer Song".
Prince "Purple Rain".

man, you can only really choose older songs since the guitar solo has pretty much removed from
rock.
but i thought of 3 more
one-metallica
rage against the machine--bulls on parade
SRV--little wing

MUSE - Hysteria
2:25 - 3:04 = THE BEST!

I Need You Tonight- ZZ Top
Like A Stone- Audioslave
Arguably my favorite solo ever (The whole song is bassically one big solo) Ice- Camel
November Rain- Guns N' Roses (Slash does a great job here)
Freewill- Rush
Stranglehold- Ted Nugent

Cocaine- Eric Clapton
Layla- Derek and The Dominoes
Flight Of Icarus (Live after Death Version)- Iron Maiden
Cruel Little Number- Jeff Healy Band (Yes in case you are wondering, Jeff Healy is blind, and does the solo here)
Dazed And Confused- Led Zeppelin
