What do you consider to be the best rock guitar solo of all time?

I’m thinking ‘sultans of swing” by Dire Straights or ‘hotel california” by The Eagles.

Answer #1

I dunno maybe anything by Slash

Answer #2

Yeah what a band, a shame they couldn’t last.

Answer #3

Sultans of Swing and Hotel California are certainly good choices.

How about Carlos Santana Abraxis?

Answer #4

Absolutely. A tough on to narrow down isn’t it?

Answer #5

I’ll mention… Stairway to heaven, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) http://funadvice.com/r/bupp41ltm0d

Aaaand… Innuendo, Brian May (Queen) http://funadvice.com/r/bupp41lu932

Answer #6

It’s a tough one but I’m think Brian May is amazing doing a solo. I can’t remember the name of the video but there’s one of him at the olympic closing ceremony which just stole the show in my opinion http://funadvice.com/r/168va3o64rh

Answer #7

Yes, and it is hard to compare different styles like Carlos Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Kirk Hammett.

Answer #8

Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Answer #9

no one mentioned the king of guitarists- JIMMY HENDRIX, his star spangled banner solo at woodstock- the dude that inspired most up and coming rock guitarists of today- the things he did with a guitar were simply unheard of back then and definitely trend setting.

definitely the best guitar solo of all time.

Answer #10

Kirk Hammett does some great ones (but Metallica is also my favorite band :P). I really like the one in the middle of Creeping Death. http://funadvice.com/r/bur4g788mvl

Answer #12

Answer #13

Bohemian rhapsody, queen November rain, guns n roses Stairway to Heavan, led zeppelin

Answer #14
