Prince's guitar solo on a While My Guitar Gently Weeps collaboration from 3.28 onwards! Amazing!
Also love Lindsey Buckinghams live solo of Fleetwood Mac's Big Love and John Frusciante on RHCP's Cant Stop...these actually give me fanny gallops!

"Nirvanas cover of The man who sold the World."
unplugged was a great album
Love “where did you sleep last night” which is an old American Folk Song (Joe Brafi did a sterling cover too) |

Miss You by The Stones.
Ok so the riff is not picked up by the guitars till later on in the song but it's got to be one of the all time great riffs,hasn't it? |

"Deep Purple- Burn.
Deep purple- smoke on the water
You beat me to it!"
when you first learn guitar it's required by law the first thing you learn is smoke on the water |

Well you have a lot of the obvious ones but this stands out for me. Dave Matthews band with Warren hayes on guitar, covering Neil Young’s Cortez killer. Live in Madison square garden. Check it out on you tube. |

I adore rock music and a good guitar solo. There are some great bands and guitarists. My honourable mentions are:
Alex Lifeson
Trevor Rabin
But the best and most flowing solo I have ever seen goes to Phil Collins and Genesis regular...
Darryl Steurmer - inside out live.
Taken from the But seriously live dvd. Wow man |
