Best guitar solo ever

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Thought it should live here really.
There are many many axe wielders who knocked us off our perch from time to time.
What's your fave & why?

Mine.
Comfortably Numb from Delicate Sound of Thunder .

Just an astonishing rendition of the break Gilmour played on The Wall.
The crescendo is something that makes me put everything down & lose myself in the whole solo.
Noodling to some, but heaven to me.
Cheers.

There's a version of Comfortably Numb / Some Kind Of Stranger (from "Dark Christmas" or something?) which has a really good guitar solo.

But the best guitar solo in the world is a very short one. It is found in The Velvet Underground's "Rock And Roll". In this video, it's at 3'28" and lasts about 4 seconds.
It doesn't sound like much, but it's a great little part, and my favourite.
Sometimes less is more.

As integral parts of the whole song, so to speak, guitar solo's are fine, if not too long. But as displays of dexterity and oh look what i can do with a guitar they are as about as interesting as oh say drum solos.... ;D Knocking on Heaven's Door on the 'We're all aware of that' bootleg is great by the way...

I think we've been in here too long. I feel unusual. I think we should go outside.

Obviously it's the banjo solo on I Am A Cider Drinker by The Wurzels.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Neil Young of course! Wayne on KoHD bien sûr! Poison Ivy hell yaeh!

And let me add Lindsey Buckingham. His solo in Go Your Own Way is sublime: not too many notes & with feeling... just the way I like it ;D

Dinosaur jr's J. Mascis is pretty good in that departement too :D
