Just several off the top of my head:

Mark Tremonti from Alter Bridge, with his solos from "Burn it Down" and "Blackbird".

And Jimmy Page.

For some reason, the YouTube videos aren't being imbedded in the thread, once there's a set timer (at the point where the solos start). So, you'll have to click on the links to redirect to YouTube and listen there.

I got to see him do this live a couple of weeks back. After the final note he went straight into "Sweet Child 'O Mine" and the place went INSANE!

Hard to decide on a true number one favorite, but I will go with the solo for Pink Floyd's Hey You.

David Gilmour isn't a fast or flashy player like Rhoads or Vai, but he has awesome tone and a unmatched note selection.

Nice thread. I have some obscure ones. I'll post the whole video for those adventurous enough to listen to the whole thing, but will point out the timing on the solo. First 2 are very much like something from Floyd.

Love that one! The guitar practically sings. :drool

I'm quite fond of "Eruption", the prelude to Van Halen's cover of You Really Got Me. I wouldn't say its my favorite by any stretch, but I feel robbed when its not played with along with it.

Definitely a lot to choose from, but being a huge Zeppelin fan, I'm going to start out with these two:

In My time of Dying is such a slow burner. Right around that 5 minute mark is amazing. And it's not just Page, buy Bonham's drumming is also incredible. Cough.

Oh man. I need to take a deep breath before I come in here.

devilof76 · Mar 21, 2013

Randy Rhoads. Children of the Grave. 3:13

For Gilmore, my first instinct goes to Dogs (around 5:30), but I know I'm just scratching the surface of that one. Ummagumma (for starters) is a goldmine.

Iggyrox · Mar 21, 2013

Led Zep's "Since I've Been Loving You" BBC Sessions.

Here is a link to the song I was referencing earlier. 3 minute solo about 1 minute in--sublime.

Wow, this thread has turned out to be all sorts of awesome. Nice to see a lot of love for Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, especially :rock

. Will have to listen to everything tonight :clap
