Confortably Numb has 2 solos, I think you refer to the last one. Anyway, for me the solo of Another Brick in the Wall is on the top. Maybe because the chord sequence is not just cyclic repetition of the song changes. It is almost a new composition...

I see that Gilmour technique of patching the solos a very good composition device. I mean, although he is not the best improvisor, he can achieve I good compromise between spontaneity and structure.

Also on the top is the solo of Hotel California, although divided by 2 guitarists...

Can I ask, could " Eruption " by Eddie Van Halen be considered or do you want a solo in
a song ?

What is your all time considered best rock solo of all time? he asks:

If you consider Steely Dan rock (I think it is a basically a type of
fusion)?then it was Larry Carlton's solo on Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne

I've always enjoyed the Walsh/Felder solos on the Eagles' "Hotel California".

Pink Floyd (David Gilmour), "Comfortably Numb"

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 results they got.

And one of my personal favorites, Eric Johnson, "Trademark".

Yep, very tasty.

Alex Lifeson on "Free will"
always gets a huge reaction live.

Did you listen to jazz exclusively when you were a teenager? Was this back in the 1950's?

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 album Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life)

We all know you care.

What is your all time considered best rock solo of all time?

After y'all have had time to post your opinions, I will give you the
link to the best rock solo of all time.

best,
Bobby

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 really a fan of Clapton's "Crossroads" solo, although I'm very much a Clapton fan from my humble beginnings of guitar playing. I like his solo on "Let It Rain" better. However, Hendrix upped the bar for rock solos on "Machine Gun" and on "All Along The Watchtower" for me.

BTW, what I consider probably the worst rock guitar solo of all time would be Stanley Jordan's studio version solo on "Stairway To Heaven".

Pink Floyd (David Gilmour), "Comfortably Numb"

And one of my personal favorites, Eric Johnson, "Trademark".

Jeff

None...

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
acting as some sort of gov't defense consultant, interesting...

I just don't bloody well care. I want to get away from all that stuff. It's difficult to do that, you get it everywhere, and here was a refuge. I don't want to be told that Hendrix was the best guitarisr ever, or Jeff Beck or any of the others. They don't cut it for me. I know the response, don't be so narrow minded, there's room for it all. Not for me. I'm getting old and angry and I don't need the crap.
Richard.

There are two I'd nominate. The one that is lodged in my mind is Baxter's from
Rikki Don't Lose That Number.

But, sentimentality aside, I'd nominate Page's in Stairway.

Paul Kossof's solo on Free's "All Right Now", another classic. Gonna stop
now...

Cheers,

Hey Bobby,

Your ears must've been burning, man, because I wanted to post the same
question, but just didn't want to catch the heat...

Since you asked, my candidates are Eric Clapton's solo on "Crossroads",
followed closely by Jay Graydon's spot on Steely Dan's "Peg". Runners-up
would include Paul Kossof's solo on Free's "All Right Now", and Alvin Lee's
classic "I'm Going Home", along with Peter Frampton's (?) solo on
"Hallelujah", and Jorma Kaukonen's on the Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love"...

Cheers,
JV

Another great Jimmy Page solo is on "Heartbreaker" on Led Zep II, and Danny
Cedrone's solo on "Rock Around the Clock" deserves mention as well.
Thanks for mentioning Amos Garrett as well, that was some great playing!

Cheers,
JV

Juan Vega

Thank you all for the replies. They definitely have been very helpful. I looked more into secondary dominants and it makes a lot more sense to me now.

I can only list a few favorites:

Larry Carlton on Steely Dan's "Kid Charlamagne".
Cream: Crossroads (live, Wheels of Fire)
Dream Theater: Under a Glass Moon
Jimi Hendrix: Red House (just about any version)
Marty Friedman on Megadeth's "tornado of Souls"
Jeff Beck: Too Many to Mention
Frank Zappa Inka Roads

Scotty Moore, "That's All Right."
