Favourite Guitar Solo's?

Racer X - Snakebite
Racer X - Technical Difficulties
Racer X - Viking Kong
Racer X - God of the Sun
GNR - Sweet Child Of Mine
GNR - Get in the Ring
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Metallica - Unforgiven
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

Ones I think are good (the best is subjective) - not definitive, but each cool for its own reasons.

A Racer X fan!

:cool:
 
Steve Vai - Tender Surrender
Warner Hodges - Shop it Around (Jason & the Scorchers)
Randy Rhodes - Mr Crowley (both solo's are perfect, and why i picked up the guitar)
Gary Moore - Still got the Blues
Mark Knopfler - Brothers In Arms
Zakk Wylde - farewell ballad
I'd also like to mention a classic 'Meeting of the Spirits' with John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia, Larry Coryell ... some of the most gifted acoustic players ever to have graced the planet

**anything Yngwie plays**
 
Tough call, I'll limit myself to one browse through my iTunes.

Hotel California - The Eagles
Get the Funk Out - Extreme
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses
Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis (candidate for the most perfect solo ever, shockingly overlooked!)
Three Times Rana (Live intro) - Paul Gilbert (despite the Pablo being my favourite, I can't think of any other obvious moments)
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Bad Horsie - Steve Vai

Just listened to that again, not heard it for a while, and I agree. Brilliant.

You people mentioning Oasis in a guitar solos thread should be shot in the face :p

Manics - Born to End (Generation Terrorists)

OCS - The Circle (both acoustic and the album version)

And as a final treat!

I know it's a bit obvious to pick Hendrix but I completely love his version of Red House and obviously Voodoo Chile is amazing too.

Also, Marley's No Woman No Cry and The Doors' L.A. Woman.
