Whats yours? :buddwalk: :buddwalk: :buddwalk:

[Pagan]

Far too many to pick just one....or even a couple.

[NJFINSFAN1]

Far too many to pick just one....or even a couple.

Agreed!:wink:

[NaboCane]

Slash in November Rain; Carlos Santana in Oye Como Va and the end of Black Magic Woman, and all of Samba Pa Ti; BB King in practically anything he's ever done.

But Pagan's right, too many to pick any more than a random sampling, and then it's all so subjective.

[d-day]

cinnamon girl - neil young

[Celtkin]

I have to go with Hendrix if I had to pick only one

[Puka-head]

Yngve Malmsteen, Krakatoa
Eddie Van Halen, Eruption
Joe Satriani, Surfing with the Aliens
Just a few, long live Rock and Roll

[FLOUNDER]

Jimi Hendrix- Hey joe is a good one

Not really sure if its a solo though

[54Fins]

Yngve Malmsteen, Krakatoa
Eddie Van Halen, Eruption
Joe Satriani, Surfing with the Aliens
Just a few, long live Rock and Roll I like your picks because i seen all 3 do them in concert:cooldude:

[Pennington's Rocket Arm]

ragnorak - walks
pink floyd - shine on you crazy diamond

[DrAstroZoom]

Not my favorite song in the world, but Eddie VH's solo on "Beat It" is really tight.

Lots of other good ones listed here.

Just last night I went to a demo practice for our possible upgrade to a Bose system and my friend who is an incredible guitarist played parts of eruption. It sounded good in some areas, but for the most part, it fell short. He'll even tell you people opt for the cheap version of it, but it is tough to pull off for real.

When I was younger, my guitar teacher who was a master classical guitarist played it in the most incredible representation of it I have ever heard. I also remember him saying it was a great solo.

That's the only two times I have heard it someone do it.

[Shula Come Back!]

Too hard to pick...first one off the top of my head....since i've been loving you by Page from Zeppelin!!!

[Rocky Raccoon]

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

[Walking25]

this is not the Greatest BUt LISTEN ITS PRETTY F'cool

By the way this is like the best of John frusciante.... 8 minutes long

[A&O]

Eruption- Eddie.

[Roman529]

What about Jimi Hendrix doing the Star Spangled Banner as the sun came up at Woodstock. You Youngins missed out on that. :wink:

[Dolphin1184]

Not the best but some of my favorites:
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
The Eagles - Hotel California
Metallica - Fade to Black
Metallica - One
Metallica - Ride the Lightning

[The Rev]

Anything by Joe Satrianin but I've always like "Always with me, Always with You" as Brother Budd can agree.

On a lighter note...Michael Jackson's guitar player in "Dirty Diana". Not my favorite song by a long shot but I figured this was the only way Michael Jackson would ever get mentioned in this thread. :tongue:

[SCall13]

Eric Johnson: Cliffs of Dover.

Not a solo, but impressive. When I was in high school, we (my band) played it in the variety show.

[Uncle Rico II]

Anything from CC Deville

[Fin Fan in Cali]

Victims of the Future-Gary Moore

[Shula Come Back!]

Alive and Yellow Ledbetter by Mike McCready of Pearl Jam aren't too shabby!!!

Alive is one of those songs that I don't need to listen to when I drive, makes that right foot get a little heavy.:lol:
I had a ritual. My friends and I used to go to New Orleans almost every weekend to party. Coming from Mississippi on I-10, you go over the "High Rise" bridge, and on the top was the view of the city in the distance. I had to have the solo playing every time we went over the top. Back then, EVERYONE drove like a bat out of hell in that area. At that time, I had a '68 Camaro with a Hotchkis suspension kit and a warmed over 327:evil:
Oh man, to have those days back.....

Nice man...I actually heard it while driving today! That's what made me think of it. Come to think of it, I did get to work a little faster than usual:lol:

[Noodle Arm]

I can't pick "the best"..so many to choose from.

One solo that usually gets my air guitar working is "Cult of Personality"-Living Colour. It rocks and Vernon Reid is an underrated guitarist (not among musicians, but the general public :D )

[FLOUNDER]

Comfortably numb- pink floyd, thats a good one
