This is totally a different musical genre than what most of you guys are posting, but it's a great solo nonetheless.....
Larry Carlton - "Kid Charlemagne" - Steely Dan
If there's one solo I'd like to "nail" start-to-finish - this is the one I hope to do it on before I die.
Jimi - "Machine Gun"
Richard Thompson - "Calvary Cross" (live, from Gtr/Voc)
Buddy Guy - "Look How, Look How Baby"
TeleBF,Larry Carlton - "Kid Charlemagne" - Steely Dan
Too true, and then here comes another awesome solo on the live version of the same tune from "Alive In America" played by Georg Wadenius.
Good stuff.
Page - Since I've Been Lovin' You
Leslie West - Theme (both versions)
here's mine:
Eagles - Hotel California (wonder nobody mentioned this one)
SRV - China Girl & Let's Dance
David Gilmour - Another Brick In The Wall Part II & Comfortably Numb
FZ - Every Solo he played
Steve Vai - For The Love Of God

peter greens stop messin around
buddy guy's let me love you baby
Albert collin's don't loose your cool
Hendrix - Pali Gap - Rainbow bridge
Hendrix - Live version - little wing -
Peter Frampton live
I'd have to vote for "Kid Charlemagne" as well as Clapton on "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" - 24nights, plus about 500 more....
Blackmore's solo on the live version (Made In Japan) of Highway Star. Consider that it was recorded in one take on-stage in 1972 and even today, you won't hear many better. Supremely melodic, emotive, powerful and shred-fast, it's got the lot.
Wow. Record-Setting Old Thread Alert!
For me, I guess it's a tie between Knopfler's solo in Sultans of Swing and Gilmour's in Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2.

Geezow! Old thread is right!
I had to fire that track up after you reading that. Great one, indeed.Originally Posted by pc
My favorite:
Metheny's in Summer Running, on Marc Johnson's album "The Sound of Summer Running".
Backed by Marc Johnson and Bill Frisell; Frisell's following solo backed by Metheny is equally as good.

shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."

I thought there was a newer version of this thread floating around that I already posted in, oh well...
That's a tough one, I'll have to make a list too, in no particular order:
"Badge", Cream
"I Could Have Lied", Chili Peppers. Frusciante is freakin' on fire there.
"Machine Gun", Band of Gypsys
"Don't Take Me Alive", Steely Dan
"You're Lost, Little Girl", Doors
"And So I Know" Stone Temple Pilots. Underrated album, underrated guitar player.
That's all I can think of right now.
Yes - "Siberian Khatru" (live from Yessongs)
Rush - "La Villa Strangiato"
Queensryche - "Take Hold of the Flame"
Journey - "Stone in Love" (from Greatest Hits Live)
Chicago - "25 or 6 to 4"
Wes Montgomery - "Misty"
Eric Johnson - "Manhattan"
+1"I Could Have Lied", Chili Peppers. Frusciante is freakin' on fire there.
That whole album kills, but those out bends on that track are great.
On some other board I saw somebody knock JF's work on Scar Tissue, saying it was out of tune.
Apparently the guy didn't think they could pro-tool it into tune, afford tuners, or something.
Or maybe he just didn't get it.

Sorry fellas, that'll be my fault... that's what you get for allowing n00bs to the forum to post LOLWow. Record-Setting Old Thread Alert!
Hey, it gave me an opportunity to post my opinion, since the thread was before my time.
"I haven't slept for ten days...because that would be too long." -- Mitch Hedberg
Zappa - Muffin Man
the jayhawks "sister cry" has been taking up a lot of space in my brain lately (faux steel bends on a tele=yummy)
Completely different genre but: Carpenters Goodbye to Love. That solo by Tony Peluso is awsome. Yeah I'm an old romantic I don't mind admitting I liked the Carpenters.
+1 on Pat Metheny, Bill Frizelle, Larry Carlton. I'm getting more and more into that sort of thing these days. Must be a 50 thing. Oh and: Brent Mason and Brad Paisley on Alan Jacksons burning the Honky Tonks Down. (Old cowboy born in wrong country).

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Henry Ford
WOW! Some names here I've not seen in years. Whatever happened to those guys?
For me, I love the Rev's "Rough Boy" solo, followed by BP's twisted solo in "Alcohol".

Any of the lyrical solos Neil Schon did on Journey's biggest hits.

Why stop now when this could easily run to 100 listings or more....?
Scotty Moore's solo on El's "So Glad You're Mine."
Ry Cooder on Hiatt's "LIpstick Sunset."
Perennial faves, every time this question pops up.
Jim Campilongo's version of "Sweet Dreams."
In a similar vein, Adam Levy's solo on Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me." Perfect touch.
So many things Derek Trucks does.
"Crow Jane" "Afro Blue"
"Well, I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused..."
Elvis Costello
.............here's one I never hear about.........the guitar solo in Al Stewart's Song "Year Of The Cat".........don't know who played it but its a great guitar solo...........
Also the solo in the Steely Dan song "Don't Take Me Alive"........Larry Carlton maybe...?...........
Now, there's a guy whose position in a bubble-gum pop supergroup will forever cause him to be vastly underrated. His solo on "Who's Crying Now" really is one of the great melodic rock solos ever.Any of the lyrical solos Neil Schon did on Journey's biggest hits.
Funny thing: I can hear every note of that solo in my head, all these years later -- but I had to go to my record collection to find the title of the song.

Leslie West - Theme from an imaginary western

I only know him from The Rutles. Great, dead-on playing on that album, too.

Jouney is bubble gum pop? When I think of bubble gum pop, I think The Partridge Family or Hannah Montana.Now, there's a guy whose position in a bubble-gum pop supergroup will forever cause him to be vastly underrated.

Somehow, I don't hear Leif Garret singing "Wheel in the Sky".
But you do hear Steve Perry singing it. Which is close enough.
