    Brian May agrees, and he's a professor of wizardry and hairdressers or something 


    Yep, this gets my vote too. Simply incredible.

    Another vote for Mr Tom Morello for his Killing in the name solo.

    To be fair most of Tom Morello's RATM solos are brilliant, especially on that first album. Very creative. People who say "anyone can do that with pedals" - try it and see it's actually harder than you'd think, then realise that he came up with that rather than copied someone else. Created his own instantly recognisable style.

  • "Information Overload" by Living Colour. Really nice live feel to that, I always think.

    Actually, any solo off the Time's Up album is great.

    I think I've found the winner- one of the best fuzz solos ever.

  • Steve Craddock, James Dean Bradfield and Jonny Greenwood were the reason I picked up a guitar so anything by them

    Honorable mention to Dave Navarro’s playing on the chili’s One Hot Minute too. The solo on Shallow Be Thy Game is probably my favourite

  • Scar tissue - RHCP
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    I'm still voting for Extreme, but I can't believe I forgot Tom Morello's solo on Settle for Nothing. The major (Mixolydian) and jazz notes against the minor riff and tritone feel of the rest of the song was a moment of creative genius, and it is both jarring and simply perfect at the same time.

    I was thinking about this earlier and paranoid android popped into my head along with scar tissue in solos which suited/made songs, along with Just.

    Satriani's Friends is a good shout - but what I really love about that tune is the drumming. Probably my favourite Satriani.
    Bettencourt's opener to 'Play With Me' is nothing short of inspirational, and again showcases his phenomenal rhythm playing too.

    For sheer feeling I think the solo in Don't Look Back in Anger is just perfect for the song  (great song). Doesn't have to be flashy or complex to be a GOOD solo...

    If you are a simple chords and pentatonics player like me, solos like that are absolute gold to learn with.

    My cousin is learning and doesn't like Oasis much, but DLBIA is such a good song to learn with, IMHO.  It was the first song with a barre chord I ever learnt!

    Not a big Oasis fan, but I have to agree with those citing Live Forever.  One gem of wisdom from Brian May is that the best solos are those which the audience can sing along with, and that one certainly nails it.

    I’ll still be sticking with this one as my pick, which I certainly can’t sing along to.

    The outro riff to DLBIA sticks in my head more than the main solo, how to finish a song.
