    My favorite "jaw dropping" solo is probably Crushing Day by Satriani. For just pure awe, it's insane. My dad and I used to compare shred solos back in the day...he would always play Malmsteen's "Far Beyond The Sun" and I would always play "Crushing Day". I think we ended in a treuce.

    Also check out anything by Trey from the summer 94 Phish tour. Mind blowing.

    you beat me to it. just when you think it is going to end, he just keeps going.

    oooooh though Maggot Brain is awesome. strange to have 2 of my top 5 already spoken for.

    I love Randy Rhoads on Revelation (Mother Earth) it just does it for me.

    any old school metalheads remember 'Hear N' Aid' that Dio threw together about 15-20 years ago? that solo was impressive, just one artist after another taking turns. you could always tell when it was Yngwie's turn.

    Hard to pick one from Rush, but I think either the one in the center of 2112 or the one from Freewill would have to be it. Some of those little solos from Hold Your Fire are very impressive too.

    I dunno if it's possible to narrow it down to 1, so I'll take 5. And they are all pretty cliche'.

    Comfortably Numb-that part where the notes keep climbing towards the very end of the song is so amazing

    Stairway-I know it's cheesy, but after a thousand listens, this one still does something for me

    Free Bird-the fact that Allen Collins double tracked the solo with the first 2 live takes, makes this the most impressive on my list

    Soulshine from Live......with a little help from my friends-the dueling guitars of Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are on full display, quite possibly the most beautiful solo I have heard

    Dogs-take your pick of them, the song is 17 minutes of perfection

    The song remains the same. Defines the exact feeling you should get when listening to Zeppelin

    Achilles Last Stand
    Time (Floyd)
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    this is one of those questions which often become heated conversations/arguments over a beer in the evening and next thing you know you realise it's daylight. a few that come to mind...

    both the solos from wherever i may roam (metallica) i really think that song is hammet's finest hour.
    inside out (anthrax) not particularly fast or technical but just blows me away.
    black (various live takes) more emotion and description than is logically possible to pluck out of 6 strings

    interesting to look at other ppl's faves, there's a couple i've never heard, cheers...
    if you love somebody, set them free. if somebody loves you, don't fuck up

    If you want a good "taking turns" solo, check out the song "Cut To The Chase" on Steve Morse's album "Southern Steel". It's got Steve Morse and Jeff Watson trading licks and is just...wow.

    Enjoy.

    Doyle Bramhall when he was support guitarist for Clapton at Hyde park 2008. After 5 minutes of Little Queen of Spades the rest of the band quietened down and off he went. There was nothing fast and flash but the sound made the hair go up on the back of my neck.
