Favorite guitar solo?

[shadowalk]

Well I've thought about this a lot and though there have been many great guitar solos out there...some can be really simple and sound just right while some can just be some ub3r-Malmsteen wankery but personally, my favorite has always been the solo from Metallica's Ride The Lightning title track...not too flashy but it's really epic and I think it's just really, really good and fits the song just right.

I like the one before Lars' all-out double kick drum barrage. :mmm:

[Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs]

I have always really enjoyed Kirk's solo in "The Unforgiven" and Zakk Wylde's solo in Ozzy's "No More Tears".

I'm not really sure specifically but I think I can definitely say this is in my top 10 or maybe even my top 5 favorite solos list. :mmm: I love the transition in said from the slow, epic part.

one solo that I also love is the second solo in "Servants of the Gods" from King of All Kings

Nile: "To Dream of Ur"



It's just...perfect. Everything fits the song so well, and it's not pointless wankery. Every note is important...etc.

The solo duel in Death - Trapped in a corner: Andy LaRoque is amazing with vibrato and Chuck finishes it off brilliantly:

I have to be honest here and say November Rain. ohh and the whole of Sacred Serenity from Symbolic is just amazing.

[shadowalk]

The November Rain solo is a good example of a well-placed solo that's free of any sort of wankery. Overrated or not, Slash is a genius.
