What about Steve Howe (Sound Chaser, Siberian Khatru, The Ancient, The Clap, Mood for a Day, etc.) or Robert Fripp (21rst Century Schizoid Man, Red,The Night Watch, Fracture,Larks Tongues Part I, II and III, etc.)? |
But see, then the question is... which version? Plenty of live performances absolutely blow away the studio takes.

Good point.... my favorites of these specific tracks are: *21rst Century Schizoid Man (Great Deceiver and Summit Studios.... I also loved the one in USA and the original has Lake on vocals....) *Red (Absent Lovers) *Larks Tongues I (Great Deceiver CD 2 and 3... If I remember well) *Larks Tongues II (USA and Absent Lovers) *Larks Tongues III (Absent Lovers) *Fracture (USA)

Good calls. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest Belew's AMAZING Larks Tongues II that features on the 1982 performance that appears in the Neal and Jack and Me DVD.

Holdsworth on "The 4:15 Bradford Executive" or "In The Mystery". Fripp, "Sailor's Tale" and "Prince Rupert's Lament". Ax Genrich did some amazingly creative solos on the 1st four Guru Guru LPs. Fred Frith on "Teenbeat Reprise" from the first Henry Cow LP. Phil Miller on "Gigantic Land Crabs..." from the first Hatfield and the North LP. This isn't Prog, but John Mclaughlin does a truly sublime solo on "Follow Your Heart" from the Joe Farrell Quartet LP. So many to chose from, but Hackett on "Firth Of Fifth" might take the cake.

Once we get into jazz - rock there are so many great performances.
I'll plug in for Quadrant 4 before Pablo gets here...it is one of the most fire-y solos ever.

One I love from the Jazz Rock/Fusion world is John Goodsall's solo on Unorthodox Behaviour.
Holdsworth's solo on The Struggle of the Turle to the Sea Part 3 is amazing.

One of the most exciting for me is Steve Howe's solo in Perpetual Change on the Yessongs album. One of the most tonally beautiful and expressive is Steve Hackett's on Firth of Fifth.

I vote for Every Day by Hackett.
And there are two other solos on that album that deserve consideration as well. Spectral Mornings is a gem.

From Soft machine's albuim Bundles, Allan Holdsworth incredible very lengthy intricate work on Profile on Side 1 (for those of you with the vinyl version).
Also Phil Miller's solo on Shipwrecked by Hatfield & the North.

Hah! Thank you!
Howe's solo work in TFTO, such as the amazing solo in "Ritual," bears mentioning. I love Fripp's solo in "Fracture," although his wild solo in Eno's "Baby's On Fire" is a personal favorite!
I'd like to nominate John Goodsall's barn-burner jazz-rock solo on the incredible song "Deadly Nightshade," from the Brand X album "Masques." A forgotten gem, apparently.
If there is a single "greatest" prog solo, I haven't heard it yet. Prog guitar tends to be more dispersed than conventional rock (Deep Purple??). For example, Howe solos rather wildly throughout much of "The Gates of Delerium". And, I'm glad he does, it is incredible!!

If I were on a dessert island and had to pick only one, I'd say that Bob Fripp's solo during "21st Century Schizoid Man" on ITCOTCK would be the classic.
That LP launched the movement.

Oops, DESERT Island! Live by spell-check, die by etc. I'd still pick Fripp's work on that LP as the seminal beginning/best prog rock guitar work. His energy was AMAZING!

I forgot about Lifeson...I LOOOOOVVVEEE the Limelight solo, the absolute favorite solo I ever played live. He has alot of great ones and Stangiato has to be up there. Gilmour has so many...I guess I still don't have them in my Prog mental basket.
Ice was a great choice for Latimer, BTW.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
