Favourite Guitar Solos



I posted my actual favourite in the other thread, so won't post the same one here (especially since a version of it has been posted in this thread already.)
 
Good thread!



Eric Clapton in 'I shot the Sheriff'. Starts around the 5 minute mark.
 
few of my favourites

1.53 onwards


1.42 onwards


may not be as difficult to play, but i love the solos form this song
 
I'll save this thread when I return tomorrow with some proper solo's. Namely my own recordings.
 
1:35 - 2:42 and about 4:30 onwards.


Randy Rhoads was amazing.2:20 - 3:00 and 4:20 onwards.

 
I don't like guitar solos. They usually sound like they're there just because it's customary to have them, much like ties. Though I do like "Since I've Been Loving You". And some Hendrix. And some other stuff.

Interestingly enough the best ever solo in rock music is a sax solo, this despite the well-known fact that sax solos in rock are disgusting.
