Immaculate Solos

[fanmail]

Some of my all-time favorite (guitar usually) solos:
Amazing - Aerosmith
Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd (cliche but it owns)
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits (perfect)
Hotel California - Eagles
Son of Mr Green Genes - Frank Zappa
November Rain - Guns n Roses
Phantom of the Opera - Iron Maiden
Brush with the Blues - Jeff Beck
Majestic - Journey
Carry on my Wayward Son - Kansas
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin (damn radio overkill, this solo is so sick, Jimmy Page rules)
Chewbacca - Liquid Tension Experiment (more of a culmination than a solo)
Fade to Black - Metallica
Down by the River - Neil Young
Harry Hood - Phish (hard to choose because they have so many ridiculously good guitar moments, but the culmination of this was often times beyond description, try the A Live One version for starters)
Slave to the Traffic Light - Phish (seriously, just listen to tons of Phish, lol)
Time, On the Turning Away - Pink Floyd
Golden Country - REO Speedwagon (this should not be overlooked)
La Villa Strangiato, YYZ - Rush (more instrumental ownage than solos)
Working Man - Rush (thats a [censored] solo though)
Oye Como Va - Santana
Come Sail Away - Styx
Mulche's Odyssey, Bridgeless - Umphrey's McGee
Roses are Free - Ween
Starship Trooper, Roundabout - Yes



Sorry for going overboard, but this is the best thread topic I've seen all day.

He also plays some of the most awesome bass I have ever heard on that song. Not bad for a rhythm guitar player.

I guess it would depend on the version that you are talking about, but I'm pretty sure that Al Anderson played lead guitar on Natty Dread (No Woman No Cry) and Peter Tosh played lead on Catch a Fire (Stir it Up).

I agree though, nice solos
