Fave Guitar Solo?

[DiscipleOfPlato]

Well, "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd and "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin are definite classics, but like someone said earlier, there are just too many guitar solos to name, and it would be impossible to decide which is best. For some reason though, the middle solo in Dream Theater's "Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper" comes to mind, as well as the solo in "Fear of the Dark" by Iron Maiden...

The solo in G&R's November Rain will always be a classic.

One I love though is the solo in the section of Orion -by- Metallica that starts at about 6:50 into the song.

Can't get enough of that guitar solo

Cacophony - desert island ... jason becer is thee man.
Symphony X - sea of lies ... micheal romeo's tapping solo is one of the most fluid and mezmerizing solo passage i have ever heard.

Most of my favorite solos came out of the 80's, but there are exceptions. A few of my favorite guitarists have too many to name, so I'll just name the band and guitarist.

Accept's Wolf Hoffmann was God.
Yngwie - many from his first three CDs, then he got stale.
Zep - Stairway
Vanden Plas - Cold Wind
Buck Dharma's solo on Hear-n-Aid's Stars (the old timer smoked all the young guns and got to play last)
Aerosmith - Combination
Blackfoot - Highway Song
Dio - countless solos with Viv was on guitar
White Lion - a bunch from Vito
Pink Floyd - a shitload from Gilmour

Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears

 

[wullief]

Iron Maiden - Wasted Years

 

[FluffyDonkey]

ONE, Metallica.
also master of puppets.

 

[Einherjar86]

Of non-metal:
David Gilmour- Comfortably Numb (both solos, but outro solo is divine)

Of metal:
Any solo by Kristian Niemann. He is one of the most skilled guitarists around and he doesn't simply masturbate for six minutes. He plays short and to-the-point solos that perfectly complement the orchestration of the song. In my opinion, he's the Gilmour of metal.

 

[Lord Kur]

hendrix. all

 

[black blood]

Victor Griffin of Pentagram is my favorite. Best solos in songs Burning Savior and 20 Buck Spin.
Also Dave Suzuki of Vital Remains can belt out some good solos, my favorite is ending of Infidel.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Ted Nugent - Any

 

[Lord Kur]

nugent is such an idiot
