My vote goes to Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker.

All,
guess you mean Rock:
Weird ones: Jimi Hendrix, "Machine Gun" on "Band of Gypsys". No Q.
Straight ones: my favourite is Eric Clapton's "Hideaway" on "Live Cream".
If i mean composed ("classical"
) music: Julian Bream, each and any, no matter what he plays.

Easily anything by Nuno Bettencourt...

I don't know which song has the best guitar solo, but I know who played it. This guitar player where mayby not the best guitar play from a technical point of view, but he went deeper into the music then any other guitar player I ever heard. Jerry Garcia. When Jerry had his bright moments, he had a few darks too, he played more music then any other.

It's difficult to choose just one:
Joe Satriani ----- Down down down
Starz ----- Coliseum rock
Ted nugent ---- Together

Dear dice45,
In "composed" music, my favorite is David Russel. If you haven't heard of him, worth a try.
Telarc CD-80373 Music of Barrios
The first track, Un Sueno en la Floresta, is the best version I've ever heard. If you even try to listen to his perform in a concert hall, you might admire him even more.

For the best two guitar solos and two solo guitars my vote goes for Al Di Meola and Paco De Lucia in Mediteranean Sundance.
Manitas de Plata
Flamenco guitar: Manitas de Plata! each and anything he plays.
For the record, i know Paco de Lucia and he was my favourite together with Paco Pena before i discovered Manitas de Plata.

"David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) - Comfortably Numb", eh? Ripped off from "In Held Twas in I" by Procol Harum. Album is "Shine On Brightly". Check it out, man.

MAny good ones, hard to pick a favorite
Gilmour - Dogs - from Animals
Zappa - Sexual Harassment in the workplace,
Overture to a holiday in berlin.... and many others
KK Downing and Glen Tipton (from Judas Priest) in Dreamer Deceiver or Run of the Mill. These are from albums in '74-'75 before they wrote their "popular" stuff.
Stuck in the 70's 😉

A lot of good acoustic guitar on some of the MTV Unplugged CDs, specifically Alice in Chains.
All time favorite, though, is the beginning of Pink Floyds "Wish You Were Here".

There's a lot of good stuff out there, but the ones that stick with me are:
Dave Mason - "Look at Me, Look at You"
Led Zepplin - the last half of "Stairway to Heaven"
Eric Clapton - Too numerous to list
Johnny Winters - "Highway 61"
Jimmy Hendrix - "Machine Gun"
Ten Years After - "I'd Love to change the world"
In that order.

All,
there was a time when i had to practise solving differential equations for a university math exam ... question of survival. I was alternatively spinning Hendrix' "machine gun" and J.S.Bach's "Fuga alla breve" from the 3rd violin sonata, c-minor BWV1005; played by Henryk Szeryng; this stuff launched my mind into the right mood for solving differential equations. 🙂

anything by Yngwie Malmsteen... he is about the fastest guitar player ever, and still manages to put such care into all of his songs... I like it. Also, Henry Paul Band- Grey Ghost has a good one... Led Zeppelin-Stairway to Heaven
I'be been enjoying two a lot lately.... one is Gilmour's final solo in "High hopes" (incredible slide solo) and another is Satriani's "Love thing" (basically a LONG solo).
hi people. i was just looking at this thread and i want to put my two cents in!! i have been playing guitar for about 30 years and i love ALOT of players! but i can't believe you guys haven't said anything about carlos santana-lee ritenour-stevie ray vaughan-eddie van halen- and what about bassist stanley clarke???? to mention just a few!!!!i also read someone mentioned al dimeola and paco de lucia!! i have an album-friday night in san francisco-with al dimeola-john mclaughlin-paco de lucia-- in a word incredible!!! thanks for listening!!! greg
