What is the best guitar solo you've ever heard?

These versions aren't half bad for a 16 bit console video game.

Thanks for posting that, Octopus' clip wouldn't play for me. That is absolutely bad-ass.



I love the "Are you experienced?" album. One of my favorites of all time.

Ok, for something more Spanish guitar duo style, this totally slaps:

I Love Rodrigo y Gabriela, one of my fav tracks

That was sick, I'd love to be able to play Spanish guitar like that. If I could go back in time and tell young guitar player Octopus one thing, it would be to learn how to play some flamenco.

Whenever someone asks me why when I say Prince was an insanely underrated guitar player, this is why. This is from a supergroup performance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, a bunch of famous people are jamming on the song then Prince rips this solo out of absolute nowhere at 3:24. Perfectly in tune with the backing behind him, fills every pocket in the rhythm. He knows when to back off a little bit and keep the melody, but then when to go in and let loose.

I've heard you shred, you could totally learn. Just need to find the right teacher. I couldn't do it, I don't have the manual dexterity for virtuoso type performances. But I learned a few chords and I play simple songs on my classic guitar every once in a while.

I also tried to learn Cuatro guitar but that shits crazy.

Its a different kind of shredding though. I've learned a little bit of flamenco style stuff here and there, but I lack the fretting hand speed to keep up with all the really fast chord changes and position jumping. I'm going to keep at it though of course.

Alright, one more; Buddy Guy and Santana having a jam on Stormy Monday from Montreux, 2004. 0:35 is when Buddy starts kinda playing while waiting for Santana to come onto the stage just kinda warming up, then Santana finally comes out at about 1:26 and they just start going from there. It's like a solid 4 minutes of some of the finest electric blues shredding you can imagine with two legends who are just having so much fun playing off one another.

I'll let someone else decide on what the best ever is, but these are pretty awesome

Maggot Brain is godlike, can't believe I hadn't thought of that one. Eddie Hazel is an another insanely underrated guitar player.
