We've had Greatest Intro's, then Greatest Solo's and now just for completeness and to wrap up the entire history of guitar music.....Greatest Outro's.....a bit more difficult, but as usual, discuss.

:cool:

Rosanna for sure. And I love the outro to Dyin On My Feet from Falling In Between. THe whole Chicago horn section thing is great.

Another Luke one would be Can You Here What I'm Saying, after Byron shuts the f*** up and Luke gets blowing on the outro solo.

John Petrucci's improvised outro to 'Damage Control' on the G3 - Live In Tokyo disk (2005) is one of the most kickass moments in the history of electric guitar, for sure. In my opinion, at least. It's one of the passages that actually made me go out and buy my first guitar (one year ago, a Strat).

Even though I think I listed this in one of the other 'greatest' posts, it is actually an outro solo. Mr. Steve Vai's insane work on the end of PIL's Ease. I love this solo so much I was over on Vai.com pestering the message boards about this solo and I guess the one of the mods is Steve's buddy/tech. He told me he remembered Steve saying that that solo was cut in one take. :eek:

If you haven't heard it and are a fan of Vai it's definitely worth checking out, it's basically a "go for broke" kind of lead but the more I listen to it the more tasty musical ideas I find hiding in there.

Ease is incredible. That whole album was done pretty much in one session!

Agree. I actually listen to that more than the Van Hagar albums now. It's still fresh, like the Roth ones, whereas the Hagar ones seem a bit lame looking back now.
