    Best Guitar solO!

    Hey!

    Dunno if you guys have done this before but im stuck between Pink Floyd(david gilmour) - Comfortably Numb and Led Zeppelin(jimmy page) - Dazed and Confused, in fact anything by Jimmy Page or Pink Floyd quite simply rules. Also Sweet Child O' Mine intro Slash-GNR rules.

    What do you guys think?

    Joe Satriani without a doubt.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Shit theres sooo many, where do you start?
    Hmm, live version of 'Comfortably Numb' from 'The Delicate Sound of Thunder' by Pink Floyd is one of my all time faves. When I used to play guitar and I was learning it, my tutor (John Hooker) said something like "If I played that, I'd put that guitar down and never pick it up again. How could you top it?" Pain and suffering made into music....

    I still love the solo from 'Hotel California'. Eric Claptons stuff on Phil Colins "Let it rain down on me" still gives me goose bumps. GNR 'Sweet Child o Mine'. Peter Greens 'Need your love so bad(?)' sounds great yet is easy to play. Brian May (Queen) on 'Gimme the Prize' (the song that made me start playing) and 'Who wants to live forever'.
    'Wasted Years' & 'Alexandra the Great'- Iron Maiden, the intro for 'Thunder Struck' AC/DC. Pretty much everything that Stevie Ray Vaughn ever did, but especially a live version of 'Texas Flood' I heard while bedding down at the Hokinui Moonshine rally once- fricken awesome! Also love both the guitar and sax parts in 'Baker Street'- can't remember the artist. Heaps of Mark Knopflers stuff, but especially 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Brothers in Arms' and 'Going home'. 'Dead or Alive', Bonjovi

    There's one bit in 'One big rush' that is just bloody awesome- must've used every trick in the book to do that one, which is what Eddie Van Halen is supposed to have done for the solo in 'Beat It' (MJ). He turned up, listened to the track, played two solo's that used every trick in his arsenal, got paid a pitance, and thought the no one would ever hear it cause Micheal Jackson was black....
