Fav solo, Opeth or otherwise

[Ermz]

Oh yeah, I ended up transcribing the Trains solo by ear... even though at the time I didn't like PT, I found that solo really cool. Since then though I've really liked the track (and most of In Absentia too).

 

[Longinus]

All solos on Remedy Lane, The perfect Element and One hour by the conrete lake, buttwipes.

PoS rule

 

[rissy]

In Flames - Only For The Weak
I love the sound in that solo, it's great. But actually it's not my fav solo. My fav solo must be one of Opeth's solos.

 

[Saber Rider]

Dream Theater - Erotomania, Voices, Overture 1928, Beyond this life, Under a glass moon, Learning to live, A Change of seasons, Trial of Tears, Scarred, Blind Faith

Metallica - Am I Evil?, Fade to Black, Blackened, Orion, Disposable Heroes

Pain of Salvation - Second Love, Dryad of the woods, Used

Opeth - A fair judgement, Deliverance

King Crimson - Starless

Porcupine Tree - Trains(as Mikael would say "beau - ti - ful!"), The sound of muzak, Signify, Shesmovedon

Psychotic Waltz - Into the everflow(okay, actually it's two guitars soloing intertwined)

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

easily shine on you crazy diamond by pink floyd...all the soloing before the vocals...

 

[Sanzen]

Oh shit, I forgot about Comfortably Numb. Best. Prog rock solo. EVER

Opeth - Leper Affinity, Forest Of October, many more
Devin Townsend - Deep Peace, Away
Psychotic Waltz - Into The Everflow (the last 3 or so minutes)
Anacrusis - Dream Again (double solo fun)
