hahahahaha!
I played some percussion with my thing once... had to go to the hospital to get the castanets off.
It's not a thread about guitarists! There's so many fucken awesome solos out there! everyone always brings up the "This dude's better than this other dude" thing. All who are guilty castrate yourselves now. The dude asked for some cool solos to listen too, not a fucken bitch fight.
Best guitar solo

Damn straight Chickenman.
Another fav solo of mine and I know I'll get canned for this one;
Gary Moore - Walking by myself.
That whole album (Still got the blues) has some great guitar moments.

Solo on Sister Madley, N. finn - actually a stand in I read somewhere.
Steve Bartek, Gratitude (one of my all time fav's, and terminally underrated/unknown)

hey man, no need to justify yourself 
your a great guitarist, theres a lot of people that will accuse anything that isnt the most generic easy playing of being
"widdle and showing off".
Dimitar, this thread is not about best guitar solo it's about Favorite, there is no best.
just remember this, there are guys that hear one track and will judge everything you do on that one track, if you play fast they think thats all you can do, maybe becuase if all they can do is play simple stuff they expect you to have the same limitations.
I wish you all the luck for the future, and im sure there are people out there that can see your just a great musician.period.

Best guitar solo?
That's about as absurd as "best painting".
Let me take my part in this nonsense
:
Pat Metheny - "Are you going with me" (Live - Travels album)
Carlos Santana - "Incident at Neshabur"
Ritchie Blackmore - "Highway Star" (Live - Made in Japan)
Uh, well
- David Gilmore - "Comfortably Numb"

Okay, hink. You get the direct response...
I'm the one isn't dependant upon whammy, either...it's mainly these excellent little repetetive patterns...there is whammy on the verse fills, but none at all on the solos...so, how is that one a whammy trick? (A phase 90 trick would be more accurate, though still bullshit.)
...then GM dorked out and went all blues, one of the lamest things a guitar player can do..."Look at me, I've gone back to my roots, I'm real!"
...yeah, Gary. Um, those aren't your roots...but it's nice that he had an alright carreer as a second class Clapton for a couple years. He deserved it. I guess you really can fool a decent amount of the people most of the time.
Chet and Roy aren't really flatpickers. I prefer Jerry Reed for fingerstyle, but who's counting...you might as well say EVH is no Segovia when it comes to picking. It'd be just as relevant.
Lt's see...anything else...Santana bugs me, because he has no idea when not to play...EVH didn't use a lot of tunings, and pretty much everything he played can be easily played in standard relative intervalic tuning...which is to say, with the usual intervals, whether tuned down or not...and EVH and DLR were mutually dependant...though EVH managed to do fine without Roth...Roth wasn't so lucky.
...um, yeah. I gotts go to sleep.

Okay, ATAL's solo is just all double stops with an open string the end of it is a whammy dive...so, how is it whammy tricks?well I won't argue with you because probably it would be a waste of time...bt listen to I'm the one or Ain't talkin 'bout love....both all whammy tricks...but besides that...uhm Evh used many different tunings (not just a half step low as the myth goes) as well, especially on those songs (see if you can figure out the tuning)...

Moore's good, but he's not more precise. I got turned on to him off of Power Windows with it's "End of the World" guitar solo, and I was really impressed by that while young. I grew up and found out it was just these silly pull-off things and fast picking...still sounds great, but on the level of great playing, it's just fromage.Gary Moore is much more precise as you put it, but most people never even heard of him. In fact EVH owes everything he has to one man DLR, one of the best frontmen in the business...

...bought it when it came out on import. I liked it, but I was like:"What's wrong with BM's tone?" I wasn't used to that ultra-smooth vox thing. It just sounded like he had no treble...but I agree it's a really cool record...but not a good EVH record. It was during his bad, bad coke period...there are a lot of fairly tasteless EVH artifacts from then.If you really wanna hear something cool see if you can get a hold of Brian May and friends, a mini album as they call it EVH and Brian May, with a few others in a hotel room...Eddie is way overrated a guitarist IMHO.
Stanley Jordan was a cute gimmick, but I don't think he really added much to the cannon...aside from showing guitarists everywhere how to do one-man instrumental karaoke...Randy Rhodes was my favorite player, (Probably still is), but had nothing on Eddies tapping. He used to say in his interviews that he felt that he hadn't yet developed his own style, and that his in-concert guitar solos were simply a Van Halen homage...but there are people much better at it then EVH, like for tapping listen to Stanley Jordan, Randy Rhodes...you want better picking listen to chet atkins or or roy clark, Eddie is a good guitar player in mainstream rock....
Chet and Roy aren't really flatpickers. I prefer Jerry Reed for fingerstyle, but who's counting...you might as well say EVH is no Segovia when it comes to picking. It'd be just as relevant.
...well, having toured with both Michael Schenker and Akira Takasaki (correct spelling...Nagasaki????), I'd have to agree with you...Akira was very Eddie influenced, though...not that that's a bad thing. A lot of good guitar players are.I infact think that Micheal Schenker and Uli Jon Roth are also exceptional, Akiro Nagasaki too...but put on your radios, let the dj's tell what's good....

Well, yeah, these days he has kind of become a caricature of himself. But I LOVE his early records, and his tone on the Abraxas Album is pure gold - I never liked his supersaturated stuff so much, but on THAT album, it's perfect, and a lot of work with the volume control. I don't think anybody can argue against the opinion that "Abraxas" is a classic - and it introduced the world to Mesa/Boogie amps.Sleek Month wrote: Lt's see...anything else...Santana bugs me, because he has no idea when not to play...

Yay, thats a f**king great record err 'album' is, and for once, the widdling actually works; it's in the right context of Lydon and Laswells bombastic and angry songs, rather than over some soft rock shite or sub GM ceefax music as is so often the case with these things.

some that I've always appreciated that weren't listed:
Warren Cuccurullo - Ordinary World
Eric Clapton - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
David Gilmour - Time
and to make up for the last two trite, wankery inclusions:
whomever performed the brutally majestic guitar solo in GG Allin's Drink, Fight, f**k (the version off EMF exclusively. other versions are pale by comparison). the first guitar solo I ever truly fell in love with.
