What is your alltime favourite guitar solo?
Mine is the one from fletcher memorial home by pink floyd

Rated "M" for meaty.

I've always been partial to the Aqualung solo from Jethro Tull.

Very expressive and seems just disjointed enough to still flow and be interesting.

I have many favorites and the Martin Barre - Aqualung one was already mentioned.

Off the "Eat A Peach" album, the song "Blue Sky" where Duane Allman and Dickey Betts play back-to-back solo's (brief duet between) while the other is keeping rhythm and then go directly into another short duet. That moves me.

David Gilmour - Comfortably Numb

.....the best in my book

I Can't Explain

Aqualung and Comfortably Numb were already mentioned so I'd have to say Ronnie Wood on Izzy Stradlin's version of 'Take A Look At The Guy' or Slash on Guns N' Roses' 'The Garden'.

santana on this one starting at 2:05, probably because this is the song I am working on right now...but it would be impossible to narrow it down to just one...

On the turning away ~ David gilmour

Nobody left (to run with) ~ Allman Bros.

Dagger Through my Heart by Jim Campilongo
Foreverman by Eric Clapton

I would have to pick three different ones for three very different reasons (in no particular order):

Slash in November Rain because that video was played non stop during summer holidays in I'll say 1991 or 92 and it reminds me of the coolest girl I dated outside of my wife

Smells Like Teen Spirit because I can play it

Enter Sandman because it's probably a solo that I can remember note for note in my head and that song was again a high school fave.

for me it's Knophler's "Down to the Waterline" solo.
All so the solo from autographs "turn up the radio". Who was that Steven lynch?
