Yeah I would agree, I love bass so much now. Petrucci's wizardly guitar solos were one of the things that introduced me to prog now. Yeah I mean I still love guitar a lot, but I really like listening for bass, love keyboard solos too, and of course drumming.

It would be preferable if you can narrow it down to one, but myself included that's extremely hard. So pick a few of your favorites then...

This thread made me think of something odd. I got into prog a couple years ago because of the amazing guitar work of Dream Theater. Now out of every instrument, I pay the least attention to guitar. I even pay more attention to bass than guitar. Even odder considering I'm a guitar player.

Off the top of my head I would say reasons for waiting - jethro tull, firth of firth - genesis, starship trooper - yes, reason for it all - kayak, starless - king crimson, ommadawn (whole album) - mike oldfield, hergest ridge - mike oldfield. Actually Oldfield is my favourite guitar player, he's done loads of good stuff! That's just a start.

The first that comes to my mind is Alex Lifeson's solo in La Villa Strangiato,it's so unique with a load of emotions

Any Fripp solo up to and including Beat.

The notes are just an interesting way to get from one silence to the next - Mick Gooderick

Hey everyone, so I wanted to know what your favorite guitar solo in prog (all sub-genres) is or favorite solos in multiple songs.
One solo that I heard a few months ago really blew my mind. It's from the prog group Frost and the song is Black Light Machine.
