fave solo that wouldn't make the usual 'top' lists?

[Ironbird13]

Death - Perrenial Quest.... the outro to that with the acoustics, kick assage!

[Ears]

The late, great Michael Ronson on Eight Line Poem. Disarmingly simple, stunningly effective.
Hunky Dory 1971
Here is a little heard live version also 1971

I hadn't ever heard of it before. That was great!

Ground beneath her feet by U2. Simple notes, but absolutly transformed by stereo delay, pitchshifting and whammy use.

[Jenesis]

I like alot of stevie stevens solos,

Word, and a good excuse for me to trot this insane example out...

Solo starts at 2:43 and continues for nearly two mad minutes!

[Ears]

here's another memorable solo, maybe because we heard it every week back in the eighties lol, don't know who the soloist was, this is a version used in later episodes, the earlier versions were good too

Kenny Burrell
on Wynton Kelly's "Whisper Not"
Riverside

has Paul Chambers on it too... crikey.

Prince
"I could never take the place of your man"
oh that's right Prince is in top 10 guitarists of all time.

Two solos that are my faves are:

Rocky George on You Can't Bring Me Down by Suicidal Tendencies

and Eddie Ojeda on The Price by Twisted Sister.

Queen - Killer Queen

Hells yeah! I LOVE busting that one out

[tekhammer]

Hells yeah,

Hells yeah!

I'm enjoying this thread a lot! Lots of you tubing going on for the ones I don't know and lots of 'oh yeah-ing' for those I do. Big amen to the Brian May and Steve Stevens suggestions.

A few more that I thought of:

Roy Buchanan - Hey Joe (I'd say 'the messiah will come again' but that's an instrumental and would be cheating)
That solo on 'Easy' by Lionel Richie
Iron Maiden - wasted years (the solo and of course, THAT intro!)
SRV - Life without you (I'd say riviera paradise but ditto the buchanan comment)
Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street' - people always remember the saxaphone but that guitar solo at the end is just as cool!
The Angels - No secrets
Cold Chisel - Forever Now

I was going to say Mark Kendall's solo on Great White's cheesefest ballad 'Save your love' but when I youtubed it it was good but wasn't as awesome as I remembered (unless the video version is edited).
Steve Lukather - Roseanna (but that's probably getting close to being on one of the usual 'top lists'.

Michael Schenker - Live at Budokan - Lost Horizons

just the one...

Jim Hughart is the guitarist's name from memory. Simon and Simon had a tasty wee slide guitar intro as well....
