01.23.14 Favourite Guitar Solo?

Favourite Guitar Solo?

Hi there, I am new on this site and to figure out what this community's is like, I would like to know your favourite guitar solo! (I am a guitar player myself and am always interested in new guitar solos to listen to and hear other peoples opinions. My favourite five are the following:
1The Allman Brothers Band
Blue Sky

Such a beautifull solo where Duane Allman starts the solo of around 1.08 and Dicky
Betts takes over (after playing together for a short time) at 2.39.
2Django Reinhardt
Minor Swing

What an amazing guitarist, could only use two of his fingers due to a fireaccident
and plays with so much swing, power, dynamic and creativity. Especially his playing
between 1.15 and 1.35. + The violinist is also awesome.
3Stevie Ray Vaughan
Lenny

Beautiful song dedicated to his wife, Stevie was more of a blues player, but here he
showed something else something more jazz influenced.
4Opeth
Burden

An amazing song by the prog. metal band Opeth, trading their metal riffs and growls
for more of a classic rock ballad. Amazing solo's by the two guitarists in the middle
who trade of licks. Both have a very distinctive tone, sound and technical
abilitities. Also note the detuning acoustic guitars in the end.
5Steven Wilson (Guthrie Govan)
Drive Home

Wow! Guthrie's solo on this amazing song on Wilson's newest album is just
unbelievable. So much creativity, emotion and technical skills. In my opinion one of
the best guitar players this day of age ( along with Derek Trucks and Kurt
Rosenwinkel )
