What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?


It's a difficult question,maybe your top 2 or 3 that year after year blow you away and raise the hair on your head and move your soul inside.

Great to see the votes for Wes Montgomery (yeah, Playpen, anyone ever use his thumb like Wes?). Funny, though, I'd have bet that "4 on 6" would be the first solo mentioned. My favorite - and I suspect Jimi's favorite, too.

Duane,

I was indeed thinking of the Kevin Ayers/Nico version of "Baby's On Fire". Thanks.

A lesser known one that stays with me is Steve Hackett's (Genesis) in Firth of Fifth. Another is Andrew Latimer's (Camel) in "Long Goodbyes" on the album "Stationary Traveler" (so many by him....).

Clapton's in the Beatles 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is certainly great and most iconic!

There are so many good ones....these just come to mind.
Alvin Lee with Ten Years After, "I'd Love To Change the World". My favorite? Let's just say it is one of them.
"Since I've Been Loving You".

Out of all the studio tracks in Led Zeppelin's recording career, this IMHO was Jimmy Page's finest moment and my favourite guitar solo of all time.
