Favorite Guitarist + Guitar Solo?

So topic says its all who is your favorite guitarist of all time and what song contains your favorite solo? This is a hard one for me. I think Eric Clapton is one of the greatest guitarists of all time and love all his music. I went to his concert earlier this year and it was amazing. When he played LAYLA it was as though the guitar was speaking it was amazing. Other then Clapton I would probably go with Sweet Child O' Mine with the Slash Solo, or If I dont Have you i think its called again GNR - you dont even need Axl to sing because you can allready feel the music. other then that of course of love JIMI, Stevie, and all the others but i want some of your opinions on this question.

Favorite Guitarist ~ Jimmy Page

Favorite Solo ~ Too Many Humans by Buckethead

Layla was the song that got me into music... though nowadays I'm feeling the piano coda more then the guitar part (which is still great).

M favs are:

Mark Knopfler
Eric Clapton
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Jeff Beck
Jimi Hendrix

Favorite solo would be Texas Flood by SRV.

My favorite is Kevin shields, but he wasn't a big solo player :(

My favorite solo is in One Repoter's Opinion, played by D.Boon

Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains and my favorite solo of his is in Sludge Factory

I don't have a favorite persay, but I do enjoy Stevie Ray Vaughn, Metallica has always had great solos, and laugh all you want, but John Mayer actually impressed me when I saw him live. Here's a really cool compilation tribute to Geaorge Harrison, with a really nice solo by Prince, another great guitar player.

My favourite guitarist has to be John Frusciante.
My favourite solo is also from Sweet Child O' Mine.

James Hetfield from Metallica...my favourite solo is in Unforgiven IISolidSnake_108

Are you serious?:S He's not the one doing the solo's... Kirk Hammet is and indeed he's pretty good. Though I prefer Tom Morello. Especially the solo in Bulls on Parade:)

yay for older trivium indeed.

Bob Mould. Best guitar sound ever. I love his use of open chords, great rhythm player. My favourite solo by him would probably be.....Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill or Pink Turns To Bluezepman71

I prefer D. Boon :P

Mould still kicks ass though

My favorite guitarist of all time is Stevie Ray Vaughan.

My favorite solo of all time is probably Zakk Wylde's one from "No More Tears"

Hm... Steve Vai... Either him or Randy Rhoads... Favorite solo? Still Floods by Dimebag of Pantera... simple yeah... but the emotion there...blackleech

Agreed, that solo is beautiful and full of raw emotion.

A couple other solos like that are Frusciante's solos from "I could have lied" and Slash's from "November rain"

John Petrucci and my favourite solo is:

Peter Lindgreen of Opeth (too bad he left :cry: ) is amazing, such a great range of sound.

I can't really say what would be my favorite solo is

Santiago Dobles - Aghora - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=8535554

It's the top song...he's been compared to Petrucci and Malmsteen in terms of Speed and Precision, but unlike them, I think he actually writes good music.

Angus Young by AC/DCMichaeltheCM

Layla was the song that got me into music... though nowadays I'm feeling the piano coda more then the guitar part (which is still great).
