What are your top 3 favorite guitar solos??

[owsleyking]

I know most of you can name many,but I want to hear the three that make you want to play air guitar until you drop!!

Mine are:

 

1: Stranglehold...Ted Nugent

2: Comfortably Numb...Pink Floyd (David Gilmour)

3: River of Tears..Eric Clapton (the live version from One more Car One more Rider).

Have at it!!!

[The Sooner Surge]

1. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

 

2. All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

 

3. Eruption - Van Halen

 

 

To me, nobody can beat Comfortably Numb. People often argue about which part of the solo is the best rather than comparing it to others.

 

Amazing.

[Jim Schue]

I can't really come up with an all-time list without delving heavily into my CD collection, but one of them that fits for sure is Stephen Stills' solo on "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes."

I'll go with three "classics"

 

Stairway to Heaven

Layla

All Along the Watchtower

 

Honorable Mention: Comfortably Numb, November Rain, Sultans of Swing; several others

The solo from "Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart" is pretty rad.

[FarBeyondDriven]

3 that come to mind are:

"Floods"-Pantera....any true Pantera fan would agree

"Eruption"-Van Halen....should not have to explain this one

Intro to "Mean Street"-Van Halen.

I could go on and on.

Yellow Leadbetter- PJ

Stairway

Lizards- Phish

Sultans of Swing

Bohemian Rahposdy

Floods to me is golden. I would definitly put it at number 3 on my list, but I was too lazy to change my previous post. Its been rated one of the greatest solos of all time played within a mediocre song, but I think Floods is one of Pantera's underrated songs. That solo is what convinced me to attempt the guitar.
