i've always thought my favourite solo is brian tatler's in 'am i evil?'

i haven't thought about it for a while, but i have no reason to change my mind:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbgv587ooNM (solo starts about 5m20)

when i was starting out, i thought i'd never be able to to play this solo... reckon i can have a decent stab at it soon :)

John Sykes solo in "Crying In The Rain" (Whitesnake 87) - I can never tire of it's majestic perfection.

I doubt there's youtube clips for these...

But:

Rory Gallagher's on the Irish Tour 74 (album) version of Tattoo'd Lady. I saw him play this song 5-6 times, and I have many other live versions of it, but I never heard him top this one...

Jimmy Page's on the original Song Remains The Same soundtrack album version of No Quarter. The remastered one might sound better, but it's been hacked and shortened...

Jimi Hendrix's on the "Concerts" version of Stone Free (not sure you can still get this album), the short solo on the studio version is reputedly Jeff Beck's favourite recorded guitar solo (or was 25 years ago anyway!), but this live version has that plus this solo improvisation where you cannot hear him stop or pause to "think" about what to play next...

gulp, all my favourite solos were recorded in 1974 or earlier... :lol:

I'll have to agree to differ with you Joe - never liked what Vai did to Whitesnake

Uli Roth - Sails of Charon
George Lynch  - In My Dreams
Michael Schenker  - Into the Arena, Attack of the Mad Axeman, On and On, Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, Rock Bottom (live)

No question.

People seem to rave about this guy, but for me, aside from being in maybe the worst big name death metal band - who seem to really wish they were a power metal band  :lol: - he's just a giuy who knows harmonic minor box shapes and can play them fast, interspersed with licks he's pinched off Yngwie.
