Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo


Of all the musical performances I own on recorded format, whether they be LP or CD, there are certain guitar solos that are the most engaging and memorable. You know, the ones that when they're over, you just sit there speechless, wondering "How the hell did they just do that"?

As with anything, there are certain performances when everything was "just right". When the musician had that "perfect connection" between themselves and the instrument. This is not limited to acoustic or electric, live or studio, or any specific discipline of music. It also does not necessarily have to be your favorite guitarist. Very simply, your favorite guitar solo.

I would like to hear your opinions. This would be a great thread for providing exposure to other listeners, to material that they may be unaware of. If possible, also name the album that the solo is from.

My two favorites would have to be:

Jeff Beck / "The Golden Road" off of "There And Back".

John Mc Laughlin / "Every Tear From Every Eye" off of "Electric Guitarist"

Thanks for your responses.

Mark Knopfler(Dire Straits) on Sultans of Swing from the Alchemy CD. Loved it the first time I heard it. Listened to it a thousand times since.. And I still wonder how he manages to move his fingers like that.
Not the best Solo's but I'm into them "Right now"
1- Ted Nugent Stranglehold (Live "Bluntal Nugity")
2 Ritchie Blackmore Stargazer ( "Rainbow Rising")
3 Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced (Live San Diego Arena 69)SIMPLY AN AMAZING TAKE!! THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!!
