Yngwie is impressive, but I can only take listening to him in small doses...it's ALL super fast scales. It's like listening to an angry bee for 5 minutes.

One of the best solos I've heard is "For The Love of God" by Steve Vai off "Passion & Warfare"

Amazing.

Speed doesn't mean better. Neither does technical knowledge.

A solo has to have heart, make you feel, be improvised.....

Hendrix, Mark Knopfler, Clapton, these guys can play.....

I love Metal, but the solos are really just guys seeing who can be the fastest.....not very enriching.

david gilmore more for feel. billy gibbons too. but the king is Jimmy Page.

as for ying yangmalmsteen. lol he is good but after 1st 2 albums got old. plus he is a asshole. and satch or vie could play way better over all. paul gilbert is fast if you like speed for speeds stake.


but Jimmy Page is over all the best guitarest to ever live. or let me say he is the best song writer. close 2nd beatles

there are so many great guitarist. you cant really say who is best. now if you had categories it would be easier. like blues, metal, jazz, country, rock and roll. to name a few.

Sorry to say, but his sounds came from The Beatles, you could say John Lennon invented Jimi Hendrix, his sounds came from The Beatles, download the song I Feel Fine, that sound.

Amazing.
thats one of my favourite solos aswell, i can play about 1 min of it so far.

my favourite guitarist is randy rhoads tho. the mr crowly solo and outro is one of the best ive ever heard. One has a good solo, but right hand tapping [the start of the solo] is easy. some iron maiden solos are also good, like the trooper and number of the beast

i think the free bird solo hsa got to be the best ever tho. brian may plays some good songs aswell, but most people ignore him.
