Best guitar song / solo ever
POTD: Best guitar solo / song ever
This is a tough one. What do you think is the best guitar song / solo ever?
I downloaded the 100 best guitar solos some time ago, and I'm a big fan of classic rock music (and guitars), and I do have my own personal favorites. But what are yours?
This is the top 9 I listed, but I'm sure there is more out there:
Dire Straits – Sultans of Swing ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j34gG2xR3I )
Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVxsB5oNiTw )
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkTQUtx818w )
(Solo starts at 5.20 min)
Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU1uwBNSCF0 )
Guns N' Roses - November Rain ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wKfp_5ySns )
(solo start at 7.50 min, but before that Slash is also doing a nice job…)
Metallica – One ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BGCfiJXPqs )
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (Jimmy Page) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugxFcmZXDyc )
Santana – Europa ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgH_oVplF5Q )
(mind the holding of the note for about 1 minute at 4.00 min)
The Eagles – Hotel California ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejw0UxE5eCw )
(accoustic version)
The ones that didn't make "the cut", but which ones I still enjoy a lot are for example the following:
Jeff Healey Band - While my guitar gently weeps ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJh3KaIKDAw )
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq_xem6ku3M ) (this fingerpicking and string bending is amazing)
Eric Clapton - Layla ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQVvF0AeRLI ) (this is with Marc Knopfler, best guitarist ever, if you ask me, and although the tune sounds simple, I just think Eric deserves to be mentioned here)
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DXCHa9BYfE ) (actually, I only put this in because it's one of the few songs I can play on the guitar myself...)
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irp8CNj9qBI ) (somehow this song pops up in each and every "best of"list. But hey, Brian May was/is one of the best guitarists ever)

Idk what the BEST ONE would be but I do enjoy all of them honestly. Bob Marley, The Eagles, and Metallica would have to be up there on my list since those are the one's I listen to the most.
