Best guitar solo???

• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  While I am an advocate of 90s grunge, this Slash solo (at the 8:00 mark) in "November Rain" is tough to beat:
  
  
  
  What say you?

  I've been listening to Clapton's "Double Trouble" lately. I think that is a pretty damn good one.

  Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd

  It's not anywhere near the actual best but I'm so partial to Sick Sad Little World (the extended live solo) by Incubus.
  
  I'm not sure though, there are some great ones. Most epic is without a doubt Stairway to Heaven, may not be everyones favorite but there is no doubt it's the most well known. Not even my favorite from Page though.

  GOAT.

  That's not really a solo.

  Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Child
  Jimmy Page, Stairway to Heaven

  A very underrated solo is Eddie Van Halen at the beginning of "Panama."
  
  And while its not a true solo (because Dave Groel is breaking it down on the drums), I love Kurt Cobain's finish to "Drain You" on the Nevermind album.

  Marty McFly's solo at the end of his performance of Johnny B. Goode haha

  It may not be a "true" guitar solo, but it's definitely great. It is a solo act though, one that lasted around 3:30, so it fits the mold.

  Eric Clapton is my pick. Eddie Van Halen is high on my list also.

  Check out EVH on "Humans Being." That's my favorite by him...

  Buckethead doing the november rain solo... IMO many buckethead songs have solos that eclipse anything I have heard elsewhere.

  Joe Perry--Aerosmith--"Same Old Song and Dance"
• visionquest

  Randy Rhoads at the end of "mr. crowley".
• dlazz

  
  
  
  Prince in this one.
• capninsano

  EVH - Eruption
  Free Bird
• krazie45

  

  I agree with BigAppleBuckeye....tough to beat Slash. He also has great solos in Sweet Child O' Mine and Estranged
  
  
  With that said, Free Bird and Eruption are also two of the best solos.

  Too many to pick from. Hendrix Voodoo Chile stands out for me. These might not be solo's but they are good nontheless: The guitar intro in That Smell by Lynyrd Skynyrd and the guitar work in Adam Raised a Cain and Candy's Room by Springsteen always were stand outs for me.

  At the end of Hotel California. Also, the one in Carry on my wayward son.
