Your Favorite Guitar Solos

[Joe > Average]

This thread is for guitar solos . Though technical performing skills (singing, instrument playing) in general don't seem to be as important to today's mainstream music industry ..., I love the way a good guitar solo pours out the heart, soul and guts of a song. As I stated before, I love all of the obvious classic solos and anything by Django Reinhardt, Joe Pass and Jimi Hendrix. I love guitar solos from all genres, whether it is classical, blues, jazz, country, acoustic, rock, flamenco,"latin"...I encourage you to share your favorites, there are no right or wrong answers.

The solo in Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page is God.

I always thought that solo was messy. He has much better solos. Unless you mean the live version.

I usually don't like guitar solos but in Muse - Invincible, Matt Bellamy shows why he's a one of the best guitar players in our time... Fantastic guitar solo, finally something new...

And also well maybe not a "good" guitar solo, but i'm loving Aaron North's insane solo in Nine Inch Nails - The Big Come Down live version...

MUSE - Hysteria

2:25 - 3:04 = THE BEST!

November Rain- Guns N' Roses (Slash does a great job here)

Freewill- Rush

Stranglehold- Ted Nugent

Cocaine- Eric Clapton

Layla- Derek and The Dominoes
