    Slash - final ending solo of November Rain... hands down my favorite simply because it rocks harder than anything

    Jerry Cantrell - Junkhead

    Tom Morello - Doesn't Remind Me, Like A Stone

    Mike McCready - Alive (studio and certain live versions)

    Eddie Van Halen - Eruption (that's essential)

  • Lateralus-Adam Jones
    Down to My Last-Mark Tremonti
    Even Flow (live)-Mike McCready

    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    Agreed with all the Zep and Floyd and Hendrix a little lacking in VH though.

    For me the best Hendrix is 'Voodoo Chile'

    And a Hauntingly good EVH solo is on 1984's 'I'll Wait'

    But try and find an overlooked solo project by Eddie Van Halen and Brian May called 'The Starfleet Project'. 3 jams that are just that basically just jam sessions. Anyone have this by the way haven't heard it in a long time?

    if we're on metal.. i definitely think Mustaine would take it here.. his solos are so well thought out and rhythm based... holy wars into hangar 18 off rust in peace is some amazing shit.. his riffs can be even crazier than his solos!

  • Garcia always did it for me, sometimes when I hear 'As Tears go Bye' live by the Stones it also gives me that wordless feeling.
  • "Chilling" is hard for me to think of besides "Comfortably Numb", but there are some that prevoke a lot of emotion and you can really feel em inside

    Phish- "Divided Sky" - no real solo but a lot of the riffs in it.
    Tea Leaf Green- "Franz Hanzerbeak"
    Pearl Jam - "I Am Mine", "Come Back"
    "Stairway to Heaven"... duh
    Lynyrd Skynyrd "Tuesday's Gone"
    Clapton "Layla" both unplugged and regularly


    I'll edit and add more as they come to me

  • Some guitar solos that give me chills are:
    Live versions of Black by who else
    I Could Have Lied by John Frusciante
    While My Guitar Gently Weeps by Eric Clapton
    Ocean Size by Dave Navarro
    Wind Cries Mary by Jimi Hendrix
    Whitewater by Josh Homme
    Heartbreaker by Jimmy Page
    L'Via L'Viaquez by Omar Rodriguez
    Cortez the Killer by Neil Young
    Vamos by Joey Santiago
    and of course
    Bulls on Parade by Tom Morello
    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

    David Gilmour - Echoes (live at pompeii version)

    Tom Morello - Township Rebellion

    Mike McCready - Alive

    Jimmy Page - Dazed and Confused

    Thank GOD someone mentioned Alive...EVERY time i hear that solo, live or studio, i get chills. That song is what made me a Pearl Jam fan, that solo is what inspired me to pick up a guitar. Absolutely AMAZING, McCready's solo in that has to be one of the best guitar solos of all time IMO.

    Mansfield II '08

    I agree with Come Back, only studio though, the effect on that solo when it comes in right at the end is amazing.

    As much as I love Mike, the solo came straight from The Doors "Five to One" to "She" by KISS. Then Mike used it so most of the credit has to go to Robby Krieger

    JIMI HENDRIX- MACHINE GUN.. An amzing solo that sounds like Jimi has actual guns and bombs coming from his guitar.
