Best guitar solo's

[Wally Gould]

Steve Hackett's solo on Firth of Fifth is the most awesome solo in the history of rock music, IMHO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LB6WNzwQWU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

One of the best I agree. I remember having a few beers and listening to this and actually falling asleep! It is so relaxing.......strange that music can do that to you......No, its not the beer!!!

I'm disappointed it took as long as TWELVE MINUTES for someone to say Comfortably Numb

 

[Lower West Stander]

John Squire on Made of Stone. Utterly atmospheric

I don't know what it is about him. He's not as flashy as many rock guitarists but so atmospheric.

Cliff Burton Bass Solo, I know most of you will not see this as your normal Guitar solo, but what this guy could do with a Bass is incredible.

Such a waste of talent, with him dying young

The Strat Pack DVD is one of my favourites and Gary Moores version of Hendrix's Red House really impressed me.

Hey Marxo, thanks for that. Awesome. I took my son to see GM play the Concorde 2 on the seafront a couple of years ago and he played this.
What a great night that was.
I'm so pleased my lad got to see GM before he was taken from us

Slim from the hamsters can play a bit.

There is a song by the group Berlin (take my breath away fame) from the album Count three and prey, which is called Pink and Velvet. Pretty certain that David Gilmour did the guitar solo on it but i can find anything on youtube.

If you get the chance to listen to it, this is (imho) how a guitar should be played.

 

[Wally Gould]

WOW FANTASTIC!!!!! You just made my evening. Rubbish on the TV........put the headphones on and watched.........wonderful.......Ray Cooper on percussion? I think it is him? Saw him with 10CC many years ago. Now watching and listening to the others on this post.
Anyone like the sax solo on Pink Floyd's 'Us and Them'....another great group. Not sure where to get that?

US AND THEM.....just listen and relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. You will have to copy and paste, don't know how to drop it in here like the others above?

If it's accoustic we're talking...
Not so much a solo, as 3 solos all played together.

 

[Rugrat]

Us and Them .. guitar solo? Sorry that's a yellow card
