Nuno Bettencourt in Dramagods, in the song Something About You.
It's not technically super thrilling, but it fits the emotion of the song so perfectly. It's the most moving instrumental I've ever heard. Something About You - Dramagods |

Two stick out to me as being wonderful solos, but I should clarify that technical virtuousity means shit to me. If it doesn't fit and compliment the song, I don't care to listen to it. I think guitars should serve the song. So, with that I think Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" is a wonderful solo. It's haunting, and beautiful, and such a melancholy tone that it makes that song very effective. Also, Ozzy's "No More Tears" is a superb solo for a different reason. It has that wonderful break and then the building interlude and you're just expecting something to explode, so the fierce tone of Wylde's solo the sort of ragged way he plays just fits it. It really rewards that whole song. |

Technically, there's like 18 solos in that song, by I think 12 different guitarists. |

It's hard to find on the internet, but back around 1987, Booker T. Jones and the Runaways did an album called "The Hitchhiker", and on one of the tracks, Steve Lukather did the solo. It absolutely warped my mind. It's STILL the most awesome solo I've ever heard, and it's also a very long one. It just keeps getting better and better as it goes on, too! CJ |

Comfortably Numb has a great solo, I'm also partial to Clapton's work on White Room. ETA- I've thought of about a hundred that I could pick as my favorite. I agree with all your points. Here's my favorite Comfortably Numb live version: Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb -live 1994 |

"little wing" by SRV. I like Jimmy's original but it's too short +1 SRV's Little Wing is a work of art and a guitar clinic. The first time I heard it I got goose bumps and my jaw was left hanging. Both SRV and Jimi left us way too early!!!! i feel the same.I listen SRV's version when i'm working on my old bronco. It's like therapy. |

Watermelon in Easter Hay - Zappa
"...He knows the end is near. He has realized at last, that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the mind of The Imaginer ...and ... ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway... Who gives a fuck anyway? So he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo... " |
