Best guitar solo's

[jevs]

take a look at this .. same concert as my orig post .. superb .. also did Telegraph Road on that too

Not a big fan of Clapton although some of the stuff he did with Cream was ok.

That clip you showed was mainly Clapton, Mark Knopfler contributed little to the solos.

Phil Collins is probably one of the best drummers in the business and Jools Holland is awesome on the ivories !!!!!

 

[Norman Potting]

guitar solo in "Goodbye To Love" by the Carpenters is the best ever, end of.

Tony Peluso, who also did the "DJ" voice at the start of "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" rock trivia fans.

Post #5 ... is all Knopfler!

Not a huge Clapton fan myself just but that performance is really something else (as is While my guitar gently weeps on the concert for George)

Agree re Jools and Collins

This is the awesome Paul Gilbert

Mark Knopfler, Sultans of Swing on Alchemy gets the hairs up on the back of my neck every time I hear it. Awesome.

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?

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

Not even the best solo off that album,the Web is better IMO.Rothery is a genius.

I nominate this for an (unfashionably) damn good guitar solo

Reminds me of early Pink Floyd......wonderful....

Best thread so far. Thanks.
