Two of mine, First Skunk

and Frank '77 Halloween

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seBNQwKswI0

really tough call, probably got 1000 favorites but this one is really good. Fits the tune perfect. Starts around 4:50 but the whole tune leads up to it .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BiY5E4q0Co

this tune has got some really sweet guitar that gives me a smile every time I hear it. Not super fancy but just about perfect. :uhuh:

My picks have to fit the song, without being overly self indulgent. I'm know there are virtuosos with better technical solos, don't care

My father took me to see Chuck Mangione back in the mid-late 70s and this guy Grant Geissman blew me away and really changed the way I appreciated different types of music.
In my opinion Chuck's album "Live at the hollywood bowl" is one of the greatest albums ever recorded !
Grant is a huge studio guy so not exactly a household name.

Mick Taylor on can you hear me knocking. Not technical but amazing feel, tone and phrasing. start listening at 4:35

ReelinRod,
Thanks for those links. Brings back memories as I was a huge Genesis fan. That band changed the way I viewed music and shaped my tastes. Need to get Selling England by the Pound on CD.

DZ

There are way too many to list but here are a couple of neat ones. I like the way Joe Satriani and Willy Waldman play off each other.

Phish You enjoy myself

One of my favorite lead songs. solo kicks in around 7:00 and at other points but the lead work in this song is great

Phish: You Enjoy Myself [HD] 2012-07-08 - Saratoga Springs, NY - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5H0ngKHRFw)

One of the greatest rock songs of all time IMO. guitar solo starts around 4:30 mark...

Jane's Addiction - Three Days - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmvG2GZ3S7o)

The slide solo at 3:30ish is good, the solo at 5:30ish is just insane, makes it look so effortless. The Stones were at their absolute best when Mick Taylor was in the band. IMO.

Great song by Robert Johnson.. We weren't listening to this stuff .. Kudo's to the Brits for being hipper than us ..

I agree 100%, love the albums with Mick

I saw Mark Knopfler play the Pavilion in Boston about 8 or 9 years ago and the whole show was amazing, but the Sultans of Swing was so good. He went off on that Solo for about 5 minutes and the whole crowd was air guitaring, overbiting, and dancing horribly, at least I was. Such a good tune.

While not my favorite Floyd song, most likely my favorite Gilmore solo starting at 3:17 and going all the way until it just fades away at the very end.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUDpc04r_QM

and a little bit later on the album, Gilmore slide guitar solo at 2:25 up to 4:45

Great solo in this ,,, Bozzio's a freak show .. Frank Zappa & T.Bozzio EPIC performance ! - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTSBR7eHL_I)

I love Frank's playing but I always get the feeling that he is syaing to himself "these dummies love stupid guitar wank so I'll give it to them". If you've read his stuff, he is very critical of guitar soloing and thinks its self indulgent. Did he like his playing or is it just a means to prove himself right? Anyone read his autobio?

Vai at 3:16!

Drums from 4:20 to the end are insane ,, I know from his instructional video's Rod's a counter and goes for the odd hits in between beats . This is just ridiculous ..

Hi Bernzy old friend ..

Any Michael Schenker solo on the song "Lost Horizons"

But by far my favorite of his is on "Save Yourself"

Around 5:15 is a good Joe Wash solo, but he has some background licks that are good too
short but nice.
Found this disc today and plugged it in coming back from the game. Hadn't played it in a few years. I like cranking this one though some lyrics don't sit well with me while others do....

Here's a new one. Not a huge fan of the original but this is pretty cool.
