Best Guitar Solo

[ToyotaNSaturn]

"Don't Tell me you Love me" by Night Ranger. Heard that the other day, forgot how top-notch that guitar work really was!

Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac ! Check out The Dance videos on youtube and other live cocnerts from back in the day. Nobody can beat or play the Rick Turner Model One Guitar like Lindsey Buckingham lol !

Surprised that Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top not mentioned. Rough boy

Excellent player and really great to see live. Knows his blues.

Also BB King. Lindsey Buckingham. Of course SRV.

Nancy Wilson of Heart. Plays REAL well. 55 years old!

I agree - Buckingham and Billy Gibbons are 2 great players that get overlooked a lot; I LOVE the 2nd solo on "rough boy"

check out acoustic performances of Bunckingham's "big love" - the guy has talent.

My faves are Mick Taylor's solo at the end of Can't You Hear Me Knocking, which also has a nice sax solo, and Felder and Walsh on Hotel California. Walsh is underrated IMHO.

Not much of a modern solo per se, but I love the guitar grinding in "Happiness is a Warm Gun" - right after the first refrain..

One other that I just spaced..

Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick. The man can REALLY play.

from 79 (let it play even though it dimms..)

Not too long ago

And about 20 years ago.

They tour a lot and a great show. The bass player has a 20 something string guitar that just rocks.

[D-Roc]

Alex Lifeson on "The Camera Eye"
09:20-10:07
Definitely MUST be heard...

I thought about this when I saw the thread a while back but couldn't think of any one out of hundreds offhand, but I've been a music lover for many years and I can now tell you what one of my favorite lead guitar solos of all time is :

Boy Crazy - The Tubes

It's at the end of the song. Sounds so good to me I always tend to turn it up as loud as I possibly can.

PS - the 1st time I heard "Boy Crazy" was in 1977 when my friend's band played it at a dance. Then I got the album and have loved it ever since. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. Great band IMHO. I love them.

The solo starts at 3:23
