OT: Favorite guitar solos

Martin said:
Aside from some of the obvious favorites that appear on threads like this I’ll go less obvious and less popular and dig a little bit into the underbelly of rock and roll. This is some high energy, killer stoner rock with an extended guitar solo and oh the bass player is basically soloing away with his own sick sounds. Don’t let the song title or genre scare you away. The face melt starts around 3:05. Hope you give it a try.

Reminds me of husker du.
 
There are two solos in this amazing song, one by Duane Allman beginning at 1:10 and the second by Dickie Betts beginning immediately after the first one at 2:40.

Take your pick, or treat it all as one long solo. FWIW, I prefer the first one but they are both great.

People talk about Mark Knopfler's Dire Straits solo in "Sultans of Swing," but it's been played so much it's kind of a cliche by now. So how about one of many other incredible guitar solos. Give a listen to "Telegraph Road," which sounds like a full production with an amazing guitar in the middle of it.

There is another video that’s even better Imo! It’s the one that says “amazing audio” in the title and he’s wearing a black button down shirt and playing a bright red guitar. Whichever one you choose, it is a truly transcendent performance by a true genius!

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

While I agree that the guitar work is legendary, it’s hard for me to think of it as “solo” or even three “solos”.

It’s a hard-driving, coordinated yet dueling, triple lead that has never been topped even by multiple lead guitar bands like Skynard and the Alman Brothers - and will never be topped by any band in existence today.
 
Mr Henry James can really play. Saw these guys live last month, just amazing watching him.

Cold Night - Robert Jon and the Wreck

 
Henry does some nice slide work on this bluesier tune.

Rescue Train - Robert Jon and the Wreck

 
Black Crowes do a nice job on this Velvet Underground song. Rich does some of the guitar work, the other guy I'm not sure, possibly Audley Freed.

Oh Sweet Nuthin' - Black Crowes

Marcus lets his keyboardist have some fun, then does his thing around 4:15 mark.

Virginia - The Marcus King Band

 
Lots of really great choices. Here's a guy who's often overlooked.....Leslie West, with 'Theme From An Imaginary Western'. This solo, while not particularly complicated from a technical standpoint, has a clean tone that still gives me goosebumps!

Recorded at the Fillmore East 9 months before my birth, this show was actually an opening act for Janis Joplin. I love this version of The Other One for its raw power and emotion. Garcia was a genius.

The late Prince. One of the best live solos of all time.

Were there any other boneyarders at the March ‘85 show at civic center with shiela E opening? What a great show! The first of many - it turned me onto the joy of live music

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.

Well he wouldn't be Buckethead if he wore a bowler.

That is fantastic. I'd been kind of peripherally aware of him, but hadn't listened closely.
 
Alluring video. Guitarist from Belarus, Valery Didula has several other videos that are "interesting."

The guitar solos in "Station Man" from the original Fleetwood Mac have always been other worldly to me:

 
Marshall Tucker Band and "24 Hours at a Time" live.

This is some blazing guitar work from Toy Caldwell and band mates with special guest Charlie Daniels:
