Got to include the Roses. I am the Resurrection. My favouritest by a mile. I got a bit emotional seeing him launch into it, in full rock god mode, at Heaton Park last year. Never thought I’d see it live ….

Turn it up to 11 and rock out with your c*ck out.

[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrWcgi1DI9Y[/video] don’t know if you’re into bruce, and you’ll either been blown away by Tom Morello’s solo or think it is awful. As a Rage fan as well as a bruce fan, tis was epic for me. Even my dad was asking “should I check out some RATM?”

Edit, it all gets nuts around 5:30

What about some fast, spikey, raucous ones

You really got me – the kinks

Whole lotta love – led zep

Taxman – The Beatles

Whole lotta Rosie – acdc

I know you said best of the best but clapton’s solo on crossroads is awesome. Also maggot brain by funkadelic, only for the first two or three minutes mind.

Angus Young solos in whole gotta rosie and let there be rock.. and gone shootin is a great bluesy track.

Prince’s solo is pretty good here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbtqlf_while-my-guitar-gently-weeps-prince_music#.USZC2B3OuSo

The solo on I could have lied by the RHCP is a belter too. Oh and mean streets by Van Halen:)

Oh what about Django Reinhardt? A guitar legend of the Jazz kind.

Also how about some Funkcadelic?

anything by the man tbh 😀

SRV’s version of Little Wing is pretty awesome…..first time I heard it I had to stop driving at 3:40 it is just mind blowing!

Henrix’s solos in All Along The Watchtower are some of my favourites.

Iron Maiden songs are full of more technical yet still nicely melodic solos.

Check out some Pat Metheny too. His album quartet is up there with my favourite guitar stuff.

…..and Charlie Christian for some of the earliest electric guitar soloing!

I’ll be quiet now 😳

there,s a cd that Pat Methenay did with Jim Hall which is all very melodic jazz guitar- well worth a listen just for the version of ” summertime ” , or a quiet night in just by Methenay, in fact any of his stuff

Thin lizzy – little girl in bloom

The best!

Nice one Banks I haven’t heard that before and I think I’m a big Lizzy fan. Is that Gary playing?

Georgia On My Mind – Martin Taylor

Simply amazing!

Zappa – Watermelon in Easterhay
Humble Pie (Frampton and Marriott) – Walk on Gilded Splinters

SRV’s version of Little Wing is pretty awesome…..first time I heard it I had to stop driving at 3:40 it is just mind blowing!

Agreed! No words, just a guitar singing movingly. 🙂

With regard to Neil Young, check out him playing on ‘Mirror Ball’ with Pearl Jam as well as ‘4 Way Street’ live album with Crosby, Stills and Nash. 8)

Blimey! Leslie West, there’s a name from the past. Yep, got Mountain on vinyl.

Wishbone Ash – well, what can I say? Seen them a few times in the 70’s and still listen to ’em. 🙂
