The most incredible solos you've ever heard?!?

[abyssofdreams]

So I have one of those days where I have to dig as much solos as possible

Can you give me some examples?

Please try to be as specific as possible and do not refer like "everything Malmsteen does is great and so on ..."

Let's try to sum things up

 

[Aborted Fetus]

RR's outro solo in Mr. Crowley

 

[Lethe78]

Megadeth solos until the 90's

 

[Gnuckell]

'Another Dimension' by John Petrucci. I can't stop listening to it. It almost sounds like a classical spanish guitar... Very cool.

James Murphy-Touching the Earth

David Gilmour - Comfortably Numb

Perfection.

David Gilmour - Comfortably Numb

Best solo ever. Maybe not the most complicated or technical, but the best.

Also, Skyclad's Moongleam and Meadowsweet solo is awsome :zombie:

Opeth - The Twilight Is My Robe
A bunch of Pink Floyd solos...

 

[IcemanJ256]

best solo ever is

Arcturus - Radicul Cut

4:32 - 4:42
