Favorite Solo by Guitarist!!

CHUUUUUUCCCKKK

okay, give me a little bit. I'm gonna have to go through the liner notes too to make sure I don't mistake a solo.  

See Through Dreams

I will move on once ORION makes his pick...

 

But only one other person picked, why are we giving the Chuck the shaft? :p

Man, ya didn't even put his name in the thread, Petrucci is still up there.  

I pick 'Cosmic Sea', Chuck + Masvidal is something else....runners up would be 'Trapped In A Corner' and 'Voice of the Soul'.

Next up...

GUS G...

Some guitarists who I will be mentioning in the future...

Jimi Hendrix
Zakk Wylde
Gus G.
Angus Young
Mark Tremonti
Victor Smolski
Alex Skolnick
Yngwie Malmsteen
Jorn Viggo Lofstad
Michael Romeo

So no Michael Schenker, Uli Roth or Gary Moore then?  

I have a thing for anyone who truncates their last name for the sake of cool, so I had to look past that to fully appreciate Gus, but even then he's a bit...boring. But he's good, especially in Firewind, but nothing I've heard really grabs me like the other guitarists we've been discussing. BTW Boris is right about those three being added, including Bobby Gustafson and Kirk Hammett (always makes for interesting discussion).

Don't worry guys I cant possibly list all of them and we shall discuss as many as possible...

Jason Becker
Robin Trower
Dan Spitz
Dave Sabo/Scotti Hill
Tipton and Downing
Andres Segovia
Mike Campbell
Allan Holdsworth
Larry Carlton
Al Di Meola
Skunk Baxter
Michael Angelo
That guy from Slipknot
Yngwie Malmsteen, for the hell of it
Joe Perry
Angus Young
Jeff Waters
Tony Iommi
Tom Kiefer
John Sykes
Ted Nugent
Vivian Campbell
Doug Aldrich
Mille Petrozza
Mike Sifringer
Trey Azagthoth
Jeff Beck
Holt/Hunolt
Chris Poland
Adrian Smith/Dave Murray
Frehley/Stanley
Kurdt Vanderhoof
Dave Mustaine
Neil Young
Paul Gilbert (of course Scarified is gonna win)
Crosby/DeMartini
Alex Lifeson
Pat Travers
The guy from Steelheart (he was pretty good...)
Vito Bratta
Rich Robinson
The Tesla three--Hannon, Skeoch, and Rude
CC Deville--I'm joking, I'm joking...
Reb Beach
Tony Iommi
Tony Iommi

Oops. Me can reading.

I'm glad that you have added Jake, I'm watching The Ultimate Ozzy right now, but seriously, how many rockstar poses can one guy have?!  

Gus G... This was extremely hard as he has some killer solos out there but in the end it's

Firewind - Ready to Strike

Other notables are

Firewind - Who Am I
Dream Evil - The Mirror

2:50 mark is solo

Rob just reminded me of another name for the list: Nuno Bettencourt.

Next...... One of my personal favs Vito Bratta

I have to think about this one. Wait is a fantastic solo in the way it's composed but it's really not that difficult to pull off, especially with the right gear. There's several other fantastically complex arrangements that I should pick from.
