    Andrew Gold - Lonely Boy
    Andrew Gold was a bit of a songwriting Genius wasn’t he 
    There's a clip on YouTube of Linda Rhonstadt doing 'You're No Good", and he's on guitar. He lets rip with a fantastic solo.

    Thanks , that project he did with the 10cc guys was good too I think it yielded the single 
    building a bridge to your heart .  I was just singing never let her slip away to myself the other day 
    That was 'Wax' I think.

    Yes. It was Wax. 

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

    Luther Vandross - Stop To Love.
    The solo starts at 3:05 mins.



    This came on the radio while I was driving & I really liked the guitar solo.

    I believe that the guitar solo is by Paul Jackson Jr. with Cissy Houston (Whitney's Mum) on backing vocals.

    Murder of Love by Propaganda has a great solo by Steve Howe (from around 3:20).

    I'll get a round to buying a 'real' guitar one day.

    As the title is 'great solos' and guitar not defined (although implied), just gonna mention that Don;t Dream It's Over has possibly got the most exquisitely beautiful and greatest Hammond solo ever recorded (Mitchell Froome).

    *An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.

    Another antipodean pop song with a classic solo not played on guitar 

    You're The Voice by John Farnham 

    Probably the most famous bagpipe solo in a pop song. As it's the bagpipes I'll do you all a favour and not link the video
