Greatest Guitar Solo In The History Of Music
I don't really agree, but this popped up when searching Eddie solos. This is still a great solo, though, don't twist.

Prince was very gifted.
-
If it's not, it's pretty fucking close.
-
Purple Rain is the best air guitar song since Free Bird
-
The best guitar solo of all time if off Steely Dan's classic, Peg.
Jay Graydon got to the fucking point in 20 secs, when most guys spend minutes of masturbating away with their solos.
-
IFL Graydon’s solo, but for me, Larry Carlton on Kid Charlemagne was first and right…
-
it’s possible
-
If you're not having slow dance sex during Purple Rain, you gots no game.
-
Terry Kath in 25 or 6 to 4 live at Tanglewood.
-
Public fornication is an abomination.
-
Are we bashing masturbating while soloing? Let he who has not masturbated while soloing throweth the first rock.

The guitar solo for Whiskey in the Jar
Eric Something of Thin Lizzy
-
Bell

Can't remember if I connected the dots or I saw it on Twitter or something, but I know Prince is a huge fan of Joni Mitchell's A Case of You and I think he bit the melody and rhythm from that song to create Purple Rain, which is an amazing canvas for soloing.
-
Best Thin Lizzy solos are either Waiting for an Alibi or the second Cowboy Song one.
-
He lifted Purple Rain from Journey's "Faithfully".
-
Holy shit I can't unhear that.
-
Prince definitely pulled some of the vibe from Journey.
Lake Minnetonka classy that Prince reached out and fessed up.
-
I saw Prince live at the London O2. He could shred, no doubt. He fucking did like 5 encores, which means you are up your own ass, which find annoying.
Hammett had it going on for And Justice for All's "One" solo. To me, that's the apex of solos. Possibly the apex of songs.
-
Does the intro to Money For Nothing count?
-
That’s not a solo. It’s a riff.
-
Comfortably Numb is pretty legendary
-
@Southerndawg approved take here…
Allman Bros "Blue Sky" is on Mt Rushmore rather easily AND wins going away for best dueling solos.
Duane Allman at 1:04
Dicky Betts at 2:39
Duane > Dicky, but still both are legends.
Also an interesting study of guitar amp. Duane was using a 50 Watt Marshall Head vs Dicky's 100 Watt Marshall. So Duane tone has a little more grit, overdrive to it.
-
I was so close to suggesting this but then spent the next several minutes deciding between Blue Sky and a few others, primarily In Memory of Elizabeth Reid, which is my favorite song by them. That goes on for too long though and has solos all over the place to the point that the lines between are blurred.

You complete me @chuck

Your ignorance inspired my riff pole. Be proud!

Something must have been his maiden name

-
whoops this is correct for rock
