Best Guitar Solos

[Bill Walker]

Prince played an astonishing solo at the end of this, I didnt even know he was such a guitarist !

 

[malg]

The opening riffs to:

So What Difference Does It Make - The Smiths
Alternative Ulster - Stiff Little Fingers

 

[Dicko69]

Flight of the wounded bumble bee by extreme

 

[supercity88]

Slash, Jimmy Page and Dave Gilmore for me are the best for composition and technique.

 

[Jazzcat]

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

I suspect this thread will be hijacked by metal heads reeling off 5 minute boreathon solos. I prefer a short and sweet affair personally......

The Pretenders - Kid
Blondie - Picture This
Neil Young - Like a hurricane
Beatles - Taxman
Stone Roses - Made of Stone
Santana - She’s not there
Aztec Camera - Walk out to winter
Thin Lizzy - Cowboy song

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Even tho it not strictly a solo!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Jimmy Page "Heartbreaker"

Interestingly the solo on Taxman (which I agree is great) was played by Paul McCartney

 

[1.618034]

Not sure it counts as a solo but always loved the soaring lead guitar in this...
