Greatest Solo's ever?

[PugNinjas]

One of my all time favs is Steve Vai's outro solo on Ease from the PIL Album.

He playing is ridiculous in that solo and granted it's a "check this out" kind of lead, but it's awesome.

Pat Metheny ,he is amazing talent on earth , a combination of a unique

[Tolerate]

One of my favourites is Toto's cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the Amsterdam Live 2003 CD/DVD

Favorite all-time solo---Larry Carlton on Third World Man by Steely Dan on Gaucho. The solo and the outro solo are complete perfection.

Anything by Larry!!! All his stuff with Steely Dan was amazing

In my book, the "Greatest Solo Ever" was David Gilmour on 'Comfortably Numb'.
(and I'm a *MASSIVE* EVH and Vai fan)

• Shawn Lane- pretty much anything at any time, but I love his solos in the Sneaky Pete's video.
• Alex Skolnick- "Return To Serenity".
• Gary Moore- "Warriors Of The Wasteland- Attack Mix"

There are so many others....I could go on for a week.

Kudos to those who mentioned Doug Boyle. I dug his stuff with Plant.
And the guy that mentioned WangDang...heh heh...."....need to find a garage....". Awesome stuff.

I forgot Portait of Tracy by Jaco - yeah, I know it's Bass, but it's great.

Yeah +1 on that one Tommy.
Both he and Andy Fraser did some great playing on Mr Big - especially when you hear live versions of it.

Donna Lee - Jaco

 

[97reb]

Ted Nugent - "Stranglehold"

 

[Rimshot]
