I forgot about One of these Days, that is an awesome solo. Speaking of QOTSA, 3's and 7's has a great guitar solo as well.

Maybe not, but during the bridge Lifeson really conducts some great riffs.

Some of my favorites come from Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time album. That album is loaded with great solos.  Metallica's Fade to Black, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), One also have some great ones ------------- "Before you see the light you must die!!!!!!!!!!" - Slayer "Today is born the seventh one, born of woman, the seventh son" - Steve Harris |

I don't have a favorites list but here are a few i can come up with on the spot: Mr Crowley by Randy Rhoads (really everything on the first two Ozzy albums is kick ass) Guitars Suck by Bumblefoot (same goes with all his solos really) anything by Marty Friedman on Rust In Peace and his early solo albums anything on Jason Becker's Perpetual Burn Most Symphony X albums First Boroslav Mitic album (and 2nd) Early Metallica albums Steve Howe songs like The Clap, Nature Of The Sea Paco de Lucia's early flamenco albums in the 70s early Iron Maiden and the list really goes on but these are some of my faves from a technical point of view -------------

Hell yeah, Adrian was on top of his game on that album. Stranger in a Strange Land might be my favourite solo ever, and Wasted Years is also great. Too bad he doesn't tend to play it all the way to the end live. Other favourites are the Pulse version of Floyd's Comfortably Numb and something that nobody else has ever mentioned, In Flames's Satellites and Astronauts. ------------- http://iamthreepeople.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow">  <- Click on this!

How could i forget Steve Vai. Yankee Rose and Shyboy from David Lee Roths first album and his amazing Passion and Warfare album. And Dimebag from first couple Pantera albums was incredible as well -------------

| Becker, Friedman, and Romeo certainly are three of my all time favorites as well. |

Well the entire song is pretty much Van Halen just shredding the guitar, so I guess the entire song is a solo.

Oh yeah, How could i forget "Eruption" Deep Purple had great solos too. "Highway Star" is probably one of the earliest shredding. Too many to count! -------------

An awesome solo that always comes to my mind is Faith & Decision by Versailles (min 3 approx.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_iRWVMM8-I" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_iRWVMM8-I ------------- Rely on nothing under heaven. |

There's also sort of a watered down (but still entertaining) version of Eruption on VH III called 'Primary'. Just more Eddie Shreddie |

Eloy's guitar solos on 'Floating' are simply sublime, no wonder it's my favorite album of theirs.  Also recently remembered the solo in Lacuna Coil's 'Zombies', love how it plays over the crunching guitar.
