Greatest guitar outro's ... But no Layla ok !

Purple rain?

I rarely get to the end of a song...attention span of a goldfish linked with the modern world of flicking through the iPhone songs at rapid pace..
I really miss choosing an Album to put on because you wanted to listen to it..

If I had to choose then The Seahorse's 'Love is the Law' ending is mentally good and ACDC Bad boy boogie 

 
But number 1 is Let there be Rock live

Can't say why but the outro to Turning Japanese has always stood out to me. Odd.
In the Meadow by All About Eve has a superb crescendo of guitar loveliness.

Back In Black...cheesey and obvious but it took a brave Producer to fade out Angus's blistering guitar...every time I hear it I picture him running around the studio riffing away not realising the song has 'ended'

Be Bop Deluxe "Soundtrack"from their 1975 album, "Futurama" is a great track, but the ending c4 minute mark and lasts over 2 minutes is epic guitar:

Did anyone listen to my Cliff Richard suggestion, or did everyone dismiss because it's Cliff? Just wondering, not offended, but he certainly employed some good session players in his day! 

Yup had a listen.  My mum is a huge cliff fan but that was new to me. Can't say it did much for me. Lightweight funk pastiche that sounds like it's done by session players

Surely there must be a ton of country stuff with awesome outros?

I suggested it on the first page

Fuengi

Something contemporary and alternative - Disco Lights by Duke Garwood has a gorgeous couple of minutes of dynamic, mesmeric, spine tingling fuzz outro.

hubobulous

Pearl Jam - Alive

Mr Big - Free - more of a band and in particular bass groove as against pure guitar solo ending - shows how a band should groove on a simple theme

Life In the Fast Lane

and not a guitar solo at all but a great ending and again an awesome groove - Stevie Wonder - I Wish - the bass and drums on this fade out teach any band member how to work as a unit

Agreed on all counts.

octatonic

The last 30 seconds or so of 'Deadwing' by Porcupine Tree.
I believe it is Adrian Belew playing guitar.

that is a yellow card offence. You are hereby sentenced to 3 years of playing a Marlin guitar.

Yeah, the ending is usually the best bit in most country music..... I joke, I joke

I'm going for RHCP Sir Psycho Sexy.

But my favourite outro is The Beatles Hello Goodbye

Beat me to it.

Cheesy but always good - GnR Paradise City, Nightrain, November Rain.

For riffage i think its hard to beat the outro riff on Pantera I'm Broken. Nothing complicated but it grooves like fuck. Always loved the outro riff on RATM Bullet In The Head as well.

Paradise city and bullet in head good calls, anything where it's all built up to crescendo rather than where u just skip onto the next track ( I'd put Layla in the category )

Ok you asked for it! Solo outro starts at 2:25

But the original country picker tearing it up is Albert !

@mburgkenge I should have dropped the chessey comment ...it's such a popular song it's easy to forget how well crafted it is....some of the best playing is in the fade out.
