Favourite Guitar Solo

[DoubleX]

I'm listening to November Rain by Guns 'n Roses right now, and I always have thought that the guitar solo at the end rules all. So I'd like the rest of your opinions.

What is your favourite guitar solo, either from sheer badassness (November Rain), fitting in with the song (Anywhere by Evanescence; anyone who's heard it knows which one I mean), or whatever other reason(s).

[GhostMachine]

All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

[public enemy]

...Anything by Steve Vai.

[Darloboy]

I'll go with November Rain as well.

[Guest Kamala]

Jimi Hendrix or Led Zeppelin, whats that song Hulk Hogan had, who was it by.

I've always been a fan of Pearl Jam - Alive for some reason. Also:

Anything Iron Maiden

Anything by Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen... all the virtuosos

Doobie Brothers - China Grove

Eddie - Beat It

Anything Randy Rhodes

Ratt - Lay It Down

[Ananas]

Eddie Van Halen - Eruption

As a consolation prize, most of Yngwie Malmsteen's Gimme Gimme Gimme is full of beautiful shreddery, ditto for Satriani's Circles.

Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix rawks.

Freebird

I'm not such a huge Freebird fan. I mean sure, the solo is long... but it's pretty repetitive. It's a cool solo and all, but not one of my favorites. Perhaps I'm a blasphemer :ohwell:

[DMN in the House]

Eh, its probably not the best ever, but it is my favorite. Has a lot to do with the song around it too.

[Guest MuRd0K]

Patience - Guns N' Roses

It's an acoustic solo, and I love acoustic and solos.

Like Suicide - SoundGarden

Spanish Guitar Solo - Guns N' Roses

November Rain - Guns N' Roses

Sweet Child of mine - Guns N' Roses

Slither - Velvet Revolver

Acoutic Guitar Solo - Yngwie Malmsteen

Yeah, Slash > *
