For a bit of fun: your favourite guitar solos......

[EltonFrog]

Not a fan of the guitar solo really, but I would like to offer for your consideration the solo on The Carpenters - Goodbye to Love. It’s very good and mercifully short, as all guitar solos should be.

Ollie Halsall's solo at the end of Dying On The Vine. It's at 3:19.

As with all proper rock songs, the guitar solo starts at around 5.00 and lasts the remaining 3.30

Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Comfortably Numb Pulse Live 1994.

Truly epic.

Waters voice had already gone by then. He kept his hair, lost his voice. Gilmour lost his hair, kept his voice.

A bit different, and a different kind of skill from most rock guitarists, Knopfler (Dire Straits) in Telegraph Road:
