Did you know that the famous Comfortably Numb solos are apparently patched together from several takes? I'd love to hear the other attempts. :)
I'm not saying that to detract in any way from the

Re: OT: best Rock gtr. solo of all time
Interesting ... I like the solo, but don't like sitting through the rest of the song.
Even Zappa had the sense to have most of his 1988 band play Page's solo when they covered that tune. (see the

Re: best Rock gtr. solo of all time
Can't list just one. Larry Carlton's solo on Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne" stands out for me. Jimmy Page on "Stairway To Heaven" still withstands the classic rock solo test of time. I was never

Re: best Rock and lots. solo of all time
His "Boddhisatva" solo is great too! Denny Dias was/is a great player,
but he left music for a career in IT, go figure. Skunk Baxter was also
