Prince's guitar solo on a While My Guitar Gently Weeps collaboration from 3.28 onwards! Amazing!

Also love Lindsey Buckinghams live solo of Fleetwood Mac's Big Love and John Frusciante on RHCP's Cant Stop...these actually give me fanny gallops!

At the risk of being ripped to shreds and ridiculed - what about the guitar solo in the Carpenters track Goodbye to love?

Nothing wrong at all except it's a guitar solo not a riff.

I adore rock music and a good guitar solo. There are some great bands and guitarists. My honourable mentions are:

Alex Lifeson

Trevor Rabin

But the best and most flowing solo I have ever seen goes to Phil Collins and Genesis regular...

Darryl Steurmer - inside out live.

Taken from the But seriously live dvd. Wow man
