Favorite All-time Guitar Solo

[jonnysdead]

[Marty Friedman] Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due

if thats the final, headbanger's dream solo, you're talking about, that was dave mustaine. but hey, i could be wrong.

my picks:
Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
Opeth - A Fair Judgement

 

[N-MAYH]

Jeff far surpases players like Michael Angelo Batio and Yngwie, in my opinion. Because not only is he a supreme shredder, but unlike them he's a very great songwriter.

haha yeah.. yngwie cant write lyrics for shit EDIT: "Bullet through your head...NOW YOUR DEAAD!".. but his solos are wicked.. same with satriani, petrucci, eddie v.h...jimmy page.. peter.. mikael.. so many great guitarists with great solos...

 

[naboo]

Death - Trapped In A Corner
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor
Symphony X - Sea of Lies

And plenty more.

 

[Sexy_Grandpa]

Opeth - The Funeral Portrait
Meshuggah - Corridor of Chameleons

Was gonna mention a few others, but theyve been said already.

[TonysApprentices]

Well kirks talents are just...E Pentatonic...it isn't that difficult, he can shred tho, but hes not that special.

I really like Mike's solo from A Fair Judgement, from the clean part. Its so intense.

 

[BRI]

[Gary Moore] Thin Lizzy - Black Rose
That whole song is guitar mayhem!

 

[Lokasenna]

Chuck Schuldiner- voice of the soul

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

OPETH - A FAIR JUDGEMENT
OPETH - TO RID THE DISEASE

ARCH ENEMY - BURY ME AN ANGEL
ARCH ENEMY - COSMIC RETRIBUTION
ARCH ENEMY - RAVENOUS

CARCASS - HEARTWORK

MEGADETH - TRAIN OF CONSEQUENCES

JUDAS PRIEST - PAINKILLER

THE HAUNTED - ALL AGAINST ALL

WELL, NOT ALL VERY VERY TECHNICAL, BUT I LOVE THIS SOLOS... MAKES ME FEEL GREAT... EUPHORIC

 

[annt]

Oh yes, and Carcass had some great solos too.

 

[Anarkissed]

The ones that immediately come to mind for me are the solo in Crazy Train (Randy Rhoads, I think? My Ozzy/Sabbath knowledge is very limited) and Zakk Wylde's solo on Mr. Crowley on the Live and Loud DVD.

Also, Stairway to Heaven, of course.

 

[Zivilyn]

Frank Zappa- Rat Tomago
Roy Z- Devil on a Hog (I love this corny ass song)
Jimmy Page- Since I've Been Loving You, Black Dog
Jeff Loomis- Final Product, This Sacrament, The River Dragon has Come
Yngwie Malmsteen- Far Beyond the Sun
Ritchie Blackmore- Lazy, Highway Star, Wring that Neck
John Petrucci- Scarred, Erotomania

[Zivilyn]

OH, forgot another outstanding one, Frank Zappa- What's New in Baltimore :Spin:

 

[Zivilyn]

FUCK, how could I forget Hendrix.. I could list a bunch, but my favorite is Castles Made of Sand

 

[scorpius]

[all_sins_undone]

Your Mom - My Dad

 

[Orkide]

There's so many great solos out there, its hard to choose just one, but the one that sticks out the most in my mind is Guns n Roses' "November Rain."

When i saw the thread that is exactly the one that came to my mind. Slash has done some of the best solos ever IMO. GnR is the first band i really got into when i was a child.

 

[Universal Mind]

Well, I prefer:

Kalmah - The Blind Leader

and

Dream Theater - The Glass Prison
