Best guitar solo ever

[Hibbie]

Also High Hopes by the Floyd, although it is done on a lap steel, still sweet as.
OP solo not feelin at all

[Ricky_Spanish]

okay i like metal and metal solos too but let me even this shit out a bit with some non metal stuff

nobody but hendrix has put this much soul and emotion into playing the guitar

Yes, one thousand times yes.

fastest guitar solo anyone?

He get's my vote:
02:30 - 05:25



I gotta mention Van Halen, also I think he invented finger-tapping.



Worth a mention: Steve Vai, Joe satriani, Kirk Hammet, Dave Mustaine.

Oh, and the Karate Kid:

[volcanogeorge]

you all seem to be forgetting that prince absolutely kills it

3:20 onwards

[wilson]

Probably not one of the 'best' solos, but certainly one of my favourites. Groovy, soulful, hairs on your neck business.

[WhosZena]

This may be

[dubfordessert]

would have said Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile as well and also All Along The Watchtower

my fav guitar these days is solo blues guitar though

[Hedley King]

I was gonna say Maggot Brain, but as that's been said as well as Hendrix and Pink Floyd I'll go for the Eagles- Hotel California (from 4.20 onwards)

[mIrReN]

Django Reinhardt

[Jurrecane]

Some love for Tom Morello, starting on 6:23

Also like the solo from Aqualung.

[hugh]

anyone like this?

[mercules]

oh f'sho

Most things by Steve Vai, but 'For the love of god' is very special
Most things by Dimebag, but 'Floods' is very special
Most things by Slash, but 'Paradise City'' is very special
