OT: Favorite guitar solos

[PoppaBear]

Face melting.. as they youngins say

 

[Topdawg]

The Flamenco intro to the song is an inspired choice for 70s rock song.

You might enjoy Andres Segovia playing some of the music adapted by the Doors.

1966. A very young Larry Coryell with another great Chico Hamilton combo.

Guitar solo is in the middle of the song.

Everything on this 1965 album is magic.

Thanks that was very good

While I started with metal, nobody, NOBODY, picks any faster than bluegrass musicians. I can't even think where to start with guitar solos from that genre. So while this isn't bluegrass, it's definitely old timey in feel. David Rawlings is a wild man on his guitar.

Outlaws, “Green Grass and High Tides”, has multiple solos by different guys. Best song I’ve ever heard live. The energy was incredible.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Well, I was going to nominate Hotel California but @Kaizen scooped me.

That solo fits the tone of the song SO WELL. So haunting. So dangerous. Masterpiece.

Not quite guitar but after the 7 minute mark, it's mesmerizing.
Opening the time capsule:
Ravi Shankar at Monterey Pop 1967.

[SCHuskiedad]

Comfortably Numb - David Gilmour with not one but two of the greatest guitar solos in rock.

Have you seen the live version from the Pulse concert in 1994? That solo is unbelievable

I'll preface this by saying this may not be for everyone. But, if you truly enjoy listening to/seeing the art of guitar playing, you should watch this video.

Yes, he's wearing a KFC bucket and a mask. I promise you it's worth the listen.

I give you Buckethead. One of the best to ever do it and more "famous" than you think if you Google him.

Not too heavy, I promise.

The Live version with BB King is a must watch also

[Huskyfan63]

Craig Ross solo starts at 2:54

 

[Kaizen]

Outlaws, “Green Grass and High Tides”, has multiple solos by different guys. Best song I’ve ever heard live. The energy was incredible.

Agree, this is a great guitar song.

 

[TRest]

This was my favorite as a teen, Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter dueling intro to live Sweet Jane.

 

[TRest]

Yikes , 8 strings and his dexterity is something else.

Absolutely! David's solo from the Pulse concert is otherworldly - something the gods would listen to at the beginning (or end) of time! (In the interests of transparency, i need to admit i'm a big PF fan). Here is the track from the Pulse concert:

FM went through three iterations of greatness; this peter green number is from their first (later covered by santana):

One more from FM's first (best IMO) formation:
