In my opinion, it has to either be Megadeth's Hangar 18 or Tornado of Souls.

That dude Robbie Blunt on Big Log by Robert Plant
Life Without You, Stevie Ray Vaughan on the In Step album. This is why he's the 3rd greatest guitarist ever. Also he did the solo for Bowie's China Girl.

Also, the intro to Hotel California on the Hell Freezes Over album by Eagles.
Some Lindsey Buckingham stuff is in the mix
Dimes solo on Mouth For War is wild, but the one on Domination? Its crazy. Got to watch him do it from about 6' away and the shit was so hard that when he pulled it off note for note he looked like he won the Super bowl. Geeked beyond all reason, the dudes smile was unstoppable

Stevie Ray Vaughn's cover of Jimi Hendrix - "Little Wing" is up there for me. Smooth, takes a theme and just keeps lifting it up to new levels as the song goes. Very pretty.

Downtown looks like the worst parts of Oakland, the BA trash moved up here. We now have scams at gas stations, open air drug dealing, homeless camps blocks long, lunatics in the streets and murder galore.

I'm a bit partial to the version as we hear in the Zeppelin movie. As far as that song. Well, and a couple others, too.
Jeez. Don't let me start on Page and Richards and their ilk. I'm such a blues purist, it's annoying even to me. For sake of decorum (read: love of humanity / common decency) I'll spare everyone before this becomes me pontificating in essays of opinion.

Best Opeth solo for me? Most likely Funeral Portrait. Really beautiful and elegant sounding.
Also Epilogue is pretty overlooked.

I don't know about best, but I've always really enjoyed Elliot Easton guitar solos. Same with Neil Giraldo. Just really interesting stuff happening in there to pick apart.
Ihadsumthin4this t1_j6loxg5 wrote
Prince was so good it was ridiculous. The kind of beyond where decades later, you can find room and play in what he was trying to get across -- as it hits you after repeat listens, or not necessarily looking for it, whether in his guitar phrasing or keyboard arrangements. And vocally, he presented avenues and platforms which gave so many of his influences their justice and due.
Thanks for the reminder on the Gap Band, as well. Man, you weren't kidding: Early In The Morning has the kind of inescapable infectious grip that's like a good massage -- like the Isleys' unbeatable smoothness you can't help but savor. Early/Morning from now on will find regular replays happening here on my system.
One of my longtime Isleys pets (among others) is Livin' In The Life.

For goosebumps on your skin and chills to your marrow, get comfy and pull up the version found on The Dance (1998? / 2000?) DVD of "I'm So Afraid".
While abso-to-the-lutely, the other 4 members of the band are flawless in the gifts they provide, Lindsey just shuts the world down and shows us all what it means to experience and display being human.
Enjoy!

My SHARONNA by the Knack. 2 1/2 minutes of Chuck Berry licks on hyper speed. No Eddie Van Halen tricks, just blues rock soloing that takes the song to a higher plain.
Don’t scoff. Go to YouTube and listen. Don’t play the radio edit where they cut the solo in 1/2.
Our vinyl had a mark where the solo started from me moving the needle back there over and over.
