Whats your best guitar solo record of all time

Freebird is impressive, but I have to say the entire 'electric' album by the cult is magnificent. Billy Duffy at his best. But 'orgone accumulator' by Hawkwind is fantastically simple.

 

Jimmy plays and the boys go wow

KASHMIR chords -Jimmy Page, Jack White, & Edge

 

see.... I'm slightly biased here, I grew up with this guy
Guthrie Govan - Rhode Island Shred

and most of the people in the videos up there ^^^ that aren't dead.... will agree with me

 

i do love a bit of George

George Thorogood & The Destroyers - Madison Blues

 

Queen - Killer Queen

Got to get a bit of Queen in there somewhere...

 

Must confess, always liked Prince, but I didn't realise he could play like this, seemingly so effortlessly - watch his solo on this:

Greatest Guitar Solo Ever

 

Not so much a solo but some nice picking by Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning

 

Came across this thread from a while back but I guess it is before the crash.
For me anything by Stevie Ray Vaughan gets my vote for solos, riffs and rhythm...normally at the same time.
But this is one of favs for the riff


Inspired by this thread I'm off to go through my CDs.

 

Good thread, never seen it before

 

Loving this thread, and so many to choose from, Freebird being a particular favourite of mine but no mentions of the mighty Pantera (cowboys from hell, this love, I'm broken) or even Megadeath or Anthrax.
But the master of solo's, for me anyway, as a life long fan, has got to be Kirk Hammet's solo in Outlaw Torn, so much feeling building throughout the tune, the deep simple base line keeping a steady back rhythm, the power of the simple structure and James Hetfields voice building to a glorious climax from Kirks lead!
Still get goose bumps just thinking about it! I am a bit of a fan though.
You can burn me to this one, just make sure you hire a massive PA system!

 

Very good choice.
Can I add Rush - 'Working Man' from Time Machine Live CD

 

Anything from frank Zappa but if pushed to narrow it down ...









I won't

 

How about the solo in this then, superb.
