What's your all time favourite rock guitar solo?

This morning I went into orbit with Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker, featuring one of my all-time favourite guitar solos. Right up there with House of the Rising Sun, in my opinion. Enjoy. Nothing like a great rock fave on a beautiful summer Sunday.

I would have to say Dimebag's solo in Pantera's Domination.

The opening riff of Derek and the Dominos' "Layla" and the instrumental second half.

Yes, Eric Clapton is a genius.

Comfortably numb by Pink Floyd

Yes, they can send me there too. LLOL

I definitely love Comfortably Numb and Freebird for sure! A more modern song by a French band called Spheric Universe Experience... It's Echos of the Stars. The solo is near the end, but it rounds up an epic song with lots of piano and great vocals.

The wrap up on queen’s we will rock you is always nice

Prince’s solo on while my guitar gently weeps is the best live guitar solo caught on vid.

BS, it's impressive but doesn't even compare to Joe Bonamassa, SRV, Eric Johnson and quite a few others.

I'm probably in the minority, but I really didn't like Prince's performance.
It annoyed the hell out of me that he did that. I wasn't impressed. Like, at all.

@RobCampbell he asked for my favorite not to guess what your favorite was but you keep on answering for me. Thanks

Can't pick a favorite, but one that is really great is REO Speedwagon.... Golden Country.

What a great list of solos and guitarists. Every one a treat! Thanks.

I just did a search and this is a list someone compiled. Every one of these blows me away also. Believe it or not i had forgotten Hendrix' Watchtower.

Jimmy Page/Led Zeppelin – Stairway To Heaven.
David Gilmour/ Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb.
Don Felder and Joe Walsh/Eagles – Hotel California.
Allen Collins/Lynyrd Skynyrd – Freebird.
Jimi Hendrix/The Jimi Hendrix Experience – All Along The Watchtower.

I believe it is Rossington that plays lead on Freebird, not Collins.

Oh yes!!! Hendrix' Watchtower!!!! Also my favorite tune by him ❤ ❤ ❤
