Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo


Of all the musical performances I own on recorded format, whether they be LP or CD, there are certain guitar solos that are the most engaging and memorable. You know, the ones that when they're over, you just sit there speechless, wondering "How the hell did they just do that"?

As with anything, there are certain performances when everything was "just right". When the musician had that "perfect connection" between themselves and the instrument. This is not limited to acoustic or electric, live or studio, or any specific discipline of music. It also does not necessarily have to be your favorite guitarist. Very simply, your favorite guitar solo.

I would like to hear your opinions. This would be a great thread for providing exposure to other listeners, to material that they may be unaware of. If possible, also name the album that the solo is from.

My two favorites would have to be:

Jeff Beck / "The Golden Road" off of "There And Back".

John Mc Laughlin / "Every Tear From Every Eye" off of "Electric Guitarist"

Thanks for your responses.

The guitar solo in 'Abracadabra' from the Steve Miller Band was a pretty wicked solo.

Fat Old Sun by David Gilmour. The live version on "Live in
Gdansk" is my favorite...
The guitar work on Slave's "Drac Is Back" is entertaining. I'm not a rock "expert" by any measure, but the guitar player, Marc Hicks, appears to know how to use his chosen instrument.
1. Mick Box "Salisbury" 1971 and "The Magician´s Birthday" 1972
2. Buck Dharma "Then Came the Last Days of May" both studio and live    1972....1975, "Astronomy" certain bootleg circa 1975 and (of course)  "Dominance and Submission" studio 1974, cheers twl, you´ve got taste :)
