Best Guitar solo/song
I don't know if there are many guitar enthusiasts here at entmoot but, if there are, I'd find it interesting to learn what your favourite guitar 'pieces' are. It can be Rock, classical, anything!
My personal favourites are - Top Gun Theme by Harold Flattermeier and Hand on Heart by Steve Vai

Bon jovi Living on a prayer has a great guitar piece and anything with Brian May's big rock solos.

Lest we forget Dickie Betts solos on both Jessica and Blue Sky. And really anything by Stevie Ray Vaughan. The Sky Is Crying comes to mind.

I am surprised nobody mentioned the solo to Freebird yet.
Apocalyptica, great guitarwork. Mostly acoustic stuff and very atmospheric. I can't remember a specific song but they did an awesome cover of "Fade to Black". Buckethead anything. He has a very broad style. Can't think of any more right now. I'm sure everyone else will cover the most listened to classical rock stuff. I should get back in the loop with that stuff.

It never ceases to amaze me how a guitarist can play the most complex lead but it's when he bends one note about 16 times or wheedly-wheedlies about 16 times that the crowd cheers. So I don't know if this is asking which guitar solo is the most technically awesome or which one the crowds cheer loudest for.
Most recent great guitar solo is Clapton on While My Guitar Gently Weeps in the Concert For George that came out in November. If you love Eric Clapton, guitars, George Harrison, or The Beatles, you will want to hear this track!

I never liked the final version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps by the Beatles. I thought it was far too over produced. The earlier version, which appeared on the Beatles Anthology (I forget which disk), is far better in my oppinion. I'll have to try and track down these tracks sometime.

Awesome choice, Hasty! I read once that he had his guitar mailed to him while he was in the paratroopers and that's when he started playing the Star Spangled Banner.

I love guitar! Of the songs you mentioned that I have heard, I agree.
I must add two great songs: Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell (from the album: Bat Out of Hell) Metallica - Call of Ktulu (Symphony and Metallica) and Last Caress/Green Hell (Garage Inc.), plus Metallica just rules, though St. Anger is nothing to ooh and aah over.

Ah, Zappa's axe-wielding was tremendous, somewhat overshadowed by his humour.
We're missing three giants from this list: Carlos Santana, BB King and Jimmy Page |

I third the motion on FZ, but I couldn't decide which song to admire most. Maybe Excentrifugal Force?
