Best Guitar Solo

BB king in lucille

Eric Clapton in Laila

Brian May in Bohemhan rapsody

Jimmy Hendrix in anything

Keith Richards in satisfaction.

weirdly enough, i dont even recall bohemian rhapsody having a solo.
we will rock you stands out though!

People, it's JIMI hendrix. Respect the man.

Jimmy Hendrix obviously, but he is not as good a lyrisist as he is a guitar player.

1) See above
2) There aren't many lyricists out there that are as good lyricists as Hendrix was at guitar
3) Lyricism has nothing to do with guitar solos.
4) Some of his best songs were written by other people (All Along The Watchtower was written by Dylan).
5) Listen to Machine Gun.

😐 yeah i ws just saying.

I gotta admit, when I first heard any Hendrix, I was put-off by the lyrics.
Are you Experienced being the only song I really liked.

But you don't listen to Hendrix for the lyrics, like you don't listen to Dylan for singing ability.

Castles Made of Sand has very good lyrics.
All Along The Watchtower was written by Dylan
Hey Joe was an old Blues song

Bohemian rapsody has very good guitar and bass work . But i said it for post only one May's work. But in we will rock you, radio ga ga, who wants to live forever, its a kind of magic, hammer to fall, etc there are fantastics Brian Mays works too.

And technally, May and Clapton were better guitarrists than Hendrix, but Hendrix was the man who bring us the concept of rock guitarrist.

But Hendrix brought something that neither May nor Clapton could bring to the music; his level of innovation was light years ahead of anyone of his time--or any time. He could play the blues standards well (look at his live work), but then he'd transform it into something wholly his own. It was amazing.

Agree with you.

BB king,Eddy VanHalen 🙂

Probably not the best, but the most memorable for me was listening to Jimmy Hendrix guitar solo of the National Anthem on September 11.

i know what you mean.

Yeah, there are really good guitar lines, but his voice doesnt fit with the song. Sorry to all Hendrix fans this offends.

😆 yeah but its true.

I agree with everyone...Hendrix and Clapton were all great...but my absolute favorite is Queen. Brian May is awesome. I think his best solo was Brighton Rock live at Wembley '86. Its like a 10 minute thing.

i personally prefered dimebags solo in "the sleep", but then all his solo's are bad ass!

john petrucci (for this example liquid tension experiment) does an awesome, powerful solo in the song kindred spirits, but like dimebag all his solo's are awesome

michael romeo from SymphonyX is a legend on guitar, he doea a great duel solo with the keyboard player in the song "of sins and shadows"

when they get cranking Judas Priest solos are pretty solid, i mean the one in Ram It Down goes for like 2 1/2 minutes, but then again, they had deul guitarists
