Missin’ Yo’ Kissin’

A really underrated guitar solo is Funkadelic's - "Maggot Brain." I'm hooked on it at the moment! No one ever talks about it though? Don't know why?

Randy Rhodes - "Dee"; solo from "Crazy Train" - off "Blizzard of Oz."

Tesla - Guitar solos - "Modern Day Cowboy" & "E Z Come E Z Go"- off "Mechanical Resonance."

Dokken - George Lynch - solo from "In My dreams" & "Unchain The Night." Very Eddie Van Halen - off "Under Lock & Key"

Abercynon-ish

Short solo, but..

Muse, Guiding Light. (Matt Bellamy even surprises himself in the studio vid on YT)

David Gilmour solo in Pink Floyd's The Fletcher Memorial Home. (that crunch after the first few seconds gives me goosebumps)

David Gilmour, The Blue. (Amazing use of a Digitech Whammy, the guitar equivalent of whale song.)

As a guitarist myself I love all styles but fellow guitarist I know always have same lists and people and cos I don’t feel same sometimes divides chat.

Lead players I love;

Billy corgan - adore, bullet with butterfly wings (anything and everything)

James dean bradfield - motorcycle emptiness (lots of others also)

John squire - love is the law (many others also)

Johnny greenwood (so many to pick from)

Simon Neil biffy clyro captain or golden rule

Edge bullet the blue sky or love is blindness

Most I love everything they play other guitarist I enjoy:

Graham coxon

Matt Bellamy

Michael Aaron Einziger

Jack white

Billy joe Armstrong

"Anything by Jimi Hendrix

I agree. Many of the things that Hendrix used in his playing were experimental and ground-breaking. For me personally though, I've never found his soloing the most musical and he did tend to go on a bit.
