What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?? Mine's the guitar solo and the end of The Door (Neal Morse, Sola Scriptura) performed by Paul Gilert.

Somehow I knew you'd say that Mike
 My absolute number 1 solo of all time, is non prog, Megadeth-Tornado Of Souls, the solo of course being played by Marty Friedman. It's ingrained into my heart now. Speaking in prog terms, 1.The Spirit Carries On solo by John Petrucci. Actually yeah, since it's in the list section, 2. I'll add the outro sweep picking solo from Selkies:The Endless Obsession. I believe it's a Paul Waggoner solo there. It's hard to get sweep picking solos that sound so beautiful, but it worked here. Edited by HughesJB4 - August 10 2008 at 22:43 |

Nothing wrong with Paul Gilbert. He's a gifted man, no doubt. Emotion with flash, yet doesn't take himself too seriously and always has fun doing what he loves. |

I have to add Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs , proggy heavy metal blues, par excellence.

Two very nice selections.
I'll throw in Holdsworth's solo on In the Dead of Night as well.

in no particular order, and just off the top of my head
1. Frank Zappa - Inca Roads 2. Return to Forever - Sorceress (all the solos) 3. John Scofield - Otay (Dennis Chambers version, Sco's on it) 4. Jeff Beck - You Know What I Mean 5. Gentle Giant - His Last Voyage strangely enough, even though i am a guitar player, i get more excited hearing a horn solo or keyboard solo (especially electric or rhoades piano ). Hell even the occasional bass solo gets me off more than a guitar solo. Anyone else have this "problem"? |

Dream Theater - In the Name of God. Despite TOT being one of their least prog albums [only in front of FIF I believe], it has some of Petrucci's most impressive guitar work. Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On, beautifully composed solo, beautifully composed song as a whole.
Other Notables:
Between the Buried and Me - Selkies: The Endless Obsession. More notably the ending solo, beautiful sweeping, but the clean solo in the soft section is also very nice.
Megadeth - Tornado of Souls. Also love this one.
Trivium - A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation. I'm not a huge Trivium fan, not so much as I was, but I always took special notice to this solo. The dualing section is really great, not too crazy but a great melody.
Just to name a few.

Another solo by Roine Stolt, at the end of the Merrygoround on Stardust We Are, just blows me away. The man is a genius.
