David Gilmour' s in "Time" on "Dark side of the moon", i never heared such one again...; 2 Steve Hackett (" Genesis" of the Peter Gabriel-era): Solo in 1971s " The Fountain of Salmacis"; The perhaps first time, a guitarist used the tapping-technique; 3. Yngwie Malmsteen: The whole "Icarus dream suite"...perfect Bach Adaption,. 4. Alex Lifeson: e-guitar solo and acoustic nylon intro on "The trees" ( "la Villa strangiato" is also one of the all time best!) 5. Jimi Hendrix: ...take what you want - they are all great! 6. George Kooymans (of "Golden Earring"): Solo At the end of "Ce soir" (Album "Switch") 7. Frank Marino: solo in "Juggernaut" 8. Solo-Duo in " Black Rose' by Thin Lizzy (Gary Moore & Scott Gorham. 9. Dave Hlubek & ? (forgot who played the orher guitar (shame on me!): acoustic & electric parts in ""Fall of the peacemakers" of Molly Hatchet. 10. Joe Satriani: "Flying in a blue dream". There is also a lot of great stuff from other guitar greats, but that are my all time favorites!! And that's for rock. There are also great solos to me in Jazz, Blues and folk, but that would go too far for this video comparision.

"Mother" David Gilmour - Such a vulnerable and fragile emotion "The Sun goes down" Scott Gorham - haunting and forlorn "Rime of the ancient mariner" Dave Murray/Adrian Smith- Epic climax of their best song "You see me crying" - Joe Perry - epic ballad solo was perfect for it "Red Barchetta" - Alex Lifeson - takes you along for the ride "7empest" - Adam Jones - Soaring and searing "Slip kid" - Pete Townsend - such an underrated song, Townsend not expecially known for solos but listen to this one "Catch your train" - Ulrich Roth - blistering solos and fills "5150" - Edward Van Halen - not a Hagar era fan, but this one was my favorite solo "Revalation (Mother Earth)" - Randy Rhoads - I prefer Diary overall as an album, but that solo is insane "Walk all over you" - Angus Young - some people laugh at me for saying it, but Angus had the best pick scrape ever "Falling off the edge of the world"- Tony Iommi - So many to pick from but this one was most epic "Who's crying now" - Neil Schon - the ultimate rainy day solo "The Sentinel" - Glenn Tipton/KK Downing - awesome duel and harmonies for epic song "Funeral for a friend/Love lies bleeding" - Davey Johnstone - underrated guitarist "Die hard the hunter" - Steve Clark - he was everything to that band, and they plummeted without him "Achilles last stand" - Page's opus, there were so many but this one takes the crown "The Vigil" - Buck Dharma - another underrated guitarist, my favorite BOC song "Long time" - Tom Scholz - So epic, so sonically perfect "Into the fire" - George Lynch - melodic and flashy, he plays fast and still stays melodic "The end" - Paul McCartney/George Harrison/John Lennon - these guys didn't do that often enough "Need your love" - Rick Nielson - a builds up brilliantly to a climax "Lines in the sand" - John Petrucci - amazing tension built up and released "The dogs of war" - Michael Schenker - not what a lot of people would choose, but listen to it!! "Promises in the dark" - Neil Geraldo - so underrated and so perfect for serving the song "Candy-O" - Elliot Easton - Every note so perfect "Snowblind" - James Young - Tommy may be better overall, but this was my favorite Styx solo, it was James

Buck Dharma's solo on the live version of Then Came The Last Days Of May from the On Your Feet Or On Your Knees album by Blue Oyster Cult. Also his solo from the live version of Astronomy on the Some Enchanted Evening. Other solos that I like are Glenn Tipton of Judas Priest doing Beyond The Realms Of Death from Stained Class album & the live version of Victim Of Changes on Unleashed In The East album. So many others!

A few of mine: John McLaughlin - "The Noonward Race" (Inner Mounting Flame) - blistering; "Sister Andrea" (Between Nothingness & Eternity) - a cry from the heart; "Siren" (Devotion)... there are more, but I'll stop here Al Dimeola - "Midnight Tango" (Elegant Gypsy) - sensuous & erotic; "Majestic Dance" (Romantic Warrior) Larry Coryell - "Hold On, I'm Comin'" (Memphis Underground), "The Word" (The Jazz-Rock Syndrome), "Molly's Lament" (Dragon Gate) Carlos Santana - "Neckbones & Home Fries" (Giants, with a one-off pickup band) John Abercrombie - "Crosswinds" (Crosswinds) - love that lazy sustain! John Scofield - "Dirty Rice" (Loud Jazz) - more of a duet with powerhouse drummer Dennis Chambers prolly others...

Perfect Lifeson pick, la villa, from the live, yes, he continues that build up and speed for a longer duration than the studio album, just sounds better, no pause in that speedy shredding section at the end of that solo... great pick..

Why not Frank Zappa ? He created so many wonderful guitar solos like , Yo mama, winos do not march, deathless horsie, Ship ahoi, deathless horsie, DC Boogie .Inca roads and some more hundreds of really outstanding guitar works.. I also like your choice of guitar solos and players. But compared to what Zappa has created on guitar , these are somehow rare and singular pieces .

I love Zappa's guitar playing....with so many great solos to choose from, I think my bottom line all - time Zappa solo would have to be the solo on the song "Montana" from Overnite Sensation. His tone is incredible...dangerously so. He gets a thin, sharp razor wire sound on the edge of being overdriven into feedback chaos, yet he keeps it dialed...even plays around with it. And the riffs! He has a 5 to 7 note motif that he kinda carries through the album - it's very subtle, and very odd sounding. Anyway, he throws that in...and so much more. I've played guitar for over 40 years...pretty seriously, and to my ear, that is one of the most perfect solos ever.
