Favourite Guitar Solo's?

Ok I'll play:

Joe Bonamassa - Stop (02.51)

Richie Kotzen - Remember (02.37)

Steve Vai - Silent Within (03.02)

Mr Big - Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy (02.03)

Frost - Black Light Machine (02.58)

I've tried to find a youtube of the original version of 'New Moon' by a guitarist called Jimmy Herring, if you are into Jeff Beck and players like Alan Holdsworth, Eric Johnson etc who seem to have an unmistakable signature sound on the instrument then check him out, his phrasing is incredible on that track. Edit: here if you have spotify

This is on top of all the usual candidates from The Eagles, Hendrix, Led Zep etc.

and one of the classics that I think deserves a special mention, this is how a les paul should sound imo:

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms (02.57 and 4.14)

Goosebumps every single time.

Never done Brian Setzer any harm playing one style? ;)

I'm a big fan too. I would love a Gretsch the Setzer model probably the only signature guitar I would ever entertain.
 
Psst - can you guys remember to label your youtube clips so that us losers at work can at least use our imaginations? :D

I've still got the strangest image of blues sitar in my mind...
