Best Solo of All Time?

porkchop · 04-09-2013, 05:59 PM

My favorite has to be the extended solo in The Rocker by Thin Lizzy.

The solo by Randy Rhoads in "Flying High Again." But I'd prefer a thread about the best short solos, since this topic is very broad.

I have way too many favorite solos to name just one, but here goes:

Scorpions' "Longing For Fire" with Uli Jon Roth has 2 very short but
melodic solos. This is from the "In Trance" album, before they were
hugely popular in the US:

Just thought of another: Pink Floyd's "Mother" from The Wall. Probably
one of my favorite solo by David Gilmour:

Short, sweet, beautiful!

When my uncle gave this album to me, he told me I should play this song on the stereo in the living room at maximum volume. He certainly had a point.

Go to 3:29

I don't really have a favourite solo, but this one stands out quite a bit to me. It may not be particularly fast, but it complements the song fantastically. I love the odd intervals that he chooses as well.

A wild Ace Frehley guitar solo on an otherwise mediocre Kiss song.

I always struggle to look past Hotel California.

It'll appeal to both Fender & Les Paul fans too (...if we are being quite guitar nerdy about it)
