Eddie VanHalen is very talented. I liked his 58 second solo titled Spanish Fly on Van Halen II.

Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young
Girlfriend - Matthew Sweet (the late Robert Quine on lead guitar & solo. A ferocious bit of playing by Quine. Not only on the single "Girlfriend" but on the whole album along with Richard Lloyd.) Galveston - Glen Campbell (lead guitar and closing solo - I didn't realize just how good a guitarist he was/is until I heard this recently. Helps one understand why he was considered one of the best studio "hired guns" during the '60s.) Those three strike me right now. I'm sure there are plenty more that are just as good if not better, that will be listed. |

Impossible to pick any single permanant favorites:
Two that I'm currently obsessed with (trying to transcribe both of them): www.digitalsoundplanet.com/Members/000165306_000026199.mp3 Duane Allman's solo on "blue sky" ... it's just perfect. Dickie's ain't too shabby either. Pat Martino's solo on the track "close your eyes" from his album "east!": www.digitalsoundplanet.com/Members/000165306_000026352.mp3 |

Some not already mentioned:
Eric Clapton's solo in Cream's "White Room." Also his solo in "Cocaine" on his "Just One Night" album. But the one that blew me away is his solo in "Five Long Years" on "From the Cradle." First time I heard that I sat there with my jaw on the floor. Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" and "Voodoo Chile Slight Return." Pete Townshend is smokin' all through The Who's "Live at Leeds" album. Also in "Love Reign O'er Me" on "Quadrophenia." |

For whatever reason, if I had to pick one it would be Buck Dharma's long solo on "Astronomy" from Blue Oyster Cult's "Some Enchanted Evening" (live album).
Second favorite would be Tony Iommi's solo on the song "Over and Over" from "Mob Rules". Starts at 3:48 into it to the end of the song. |

Just about anything by Eddie, I'm ALWAYS blown away by the intro to beautiful girls and spanish fly on VHII.
For all around purity, picking style, and emotion it would hands down be Willie Nelson's acoustic solo during Time Slips Away from the VH1 storytellers with him and Johnny Cash. He's like Glen Campbell in that no one really knows what an incredible lead guitar player he is. |

There's one that Steve Lukather did once for Booker T. Jones on "The Runaway" that, for me, stands alone from all other solos.
It would be far, far too long a solo if it were any other, as it goes on for about six choruses, but in this case, you're sorry that it ends. It's the first solo I ever heard that literally sent chills down my spine, and it still does that to me, eighteen years later. CJ |

As far as purely instrumental, SRV's Little Wing is magic, and there is a little mpeg I have of a Clapton performance of Cocaine from the 70's that has his backup guitarist (Andy Fairweather Lowe, maybe?) doing the coolest darn solo I have ever heard.
As far as songs go, SRV's version of Voodoo Chile, one of Clapton's live versions of Layla with his more powerful boosted Strat, and Mark Knopfler's Sultans of Swing have to be the best. Clapton's live stuff usually has killer guitar on it. They didn't call him a guitar god for nothing. There may be some players that are more technically proficient, but there is not a more melodic and musically sound guitarist than Clapton. His playing ALWAYS fits, ALWAYS sounds good, and ALWAYS is a lot harder than it looks. The only guitarist extant that is better than Clapton in my opinion is a guy named Phil Keaggy. If you have never heard of him, look him up. I saw him do a live acoustic performance once that was unbelievable. |

The solo Brain Setzer does in the song "I won't stand in your way" by the Stray Cats other than that, mostly any solo he does. Then again Stevie Ray Vaughan had alot of good solos too, wasn't Rude Mood just a solo that turned into a song? Thanks Arvin
