    WhileMy Guitar Gently Weeps. You can really feel the emotion from each note as if the guitar was actually weeping.

    Do I really must explain why it's the most iconic guitar solo? It's just great and perfect, long but not boring, fast but accurate... After years of listening rock and metal music, this solo is still the greatest and one of most recognizable one. Starts from 2:09.

    Kid Charlemagne, Steely Dan. Sure we can play it, but would we have thought to play it? Such nice angle and flow. https://youtu.be/jJ9Xk-VoGqo?t=132

    Funkadelic - Maggot Brain. Eddie Hazel on guitar, George Clinton famously told him to "play like your momma died" when recording.

    The most obvious "popular" choice would be Stairway To heaven by Led Zeppelin, but I am going to be contrarian on this. My selection would be General Lee by Steve Morse on his breakout album The Introduction.

    Oh man, there are SO many great solos posted here! Its never easy picking just one.

    But, when someone asks me this question, immediately the solo from Comfortably Numb jumps to my mind. Pink Floyd, was hugely inspirational to me growing up as a musician... even though I am mainly a drummer!

    I love all kinds of 70s and 80s rock, but those Pink Floyd albums, and especially David Gilmour's playing, blew me away so much that I went out a bought a used Fender Stratocaster and noodled around with it for years trying to just learn how to make THAT SOUND. Today, I have a pretty epic guitar rig at home with vintage amps, pedals and a custom shop '59 Fender Strat that I absolutely love!

    So many choose from, but I will go with David Gilmour's solo for Sorrow (starts at 6:55). The way it breaks, twists, turns and lands back home has a very strange sense of scale and urgency and its truly a special journey.

    There are many awesome guitar solos from all different styles of music but my favourite is from Guns and Roses November Rain. There are many guitar solo parts in it and it just works so well with the whole song.

    I thought about choosing since world -class shedding, but decided to go with the guy who changed rock music and solos, and quite possibly his most iconic song (even a major plot point in Battlestar Galactica). Jimi Hendrix, "All Along The Watchtower".

    Solo starts at 1:45

    For me These are the days of our lives by Queen with the emotional solo by the genius that's Brian May. His distinctive style and unique sound will never be equalled in my opinion.

    Prince at the absolute peak of his his career, played this super crazy solo towards the end of one of the last concerts on the Purple Rain tour in 1983. I saw this whole concert on a grainy VHS tape in 1989 when there was no youtube, and things like this were extremely hard to get unless you had a connect.

    This version actually has 2 solos in it. The first one kind of sneaks in at around 3:15 where to me it seemed like a smoke signal for what was to come later. The first few notes are sparsely played, but feels like a conversation that he's taking his time to have with you until he leans into those gorgeous chords at around 3:50. He ends that solo with another beautiful riff that to me seemed to say 'wait til the next one'.

    The 2nd solo is the EPIC one at around 10:04, where all the lights on the stage swing to him in dramatic fashion as he hits that 1st wailing note. From there, to me at least, it seemed like he wasn't even playing anymore. Like there was a guiding hand forcing him to hit every possible perfect guitar lick to elicit emotions from anybody who saw it. And then on top of that, the man was literally walking around a dark stage, up and down flights of stairs without ever flubbing a single note and in high heels. Come on man lol. I said enough already but I heard this at an important time in my life so it means a lot to me.
