. . . and the best solo, goes to

[Tonyblack]

I'm not too worried about people posting different solos. It's all good stuff.

 

[raptornx01]

technically a dual but both the guitarists get moments to shine solo in most of their stuff.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I should have paid more attention,just jumped in with both feet first.

 

[Dotsie]

What, because it wasn't a drum solo? We're not in prison Dug! I posted a bass solo first.

 

[Penfold]

I haven't got my headphones so I can't check it, but I seem to remember I used to love Cliff Burton's bass solo in Anaesthesia (Pulling Teeth).

I'll see your bass solo and raise you a John Entwistle! (I've really got to get out of the casino business)

Cool BASS solo - Joey DeMaio - Manowar

 

[Jason]

Vocals with a difference...

 

[raptornx01]

Flight of the bumble bee must be the benchmark for Guitar players.

well, that and Freebird (you know someone had to post it here eventually, no discussion of great guitar skills can be complete without it )

 

[Mycroft Vimes]

Joe's not bad when it comes to the guitar(among other things),here's my mostly favourite of his :

Hard to pick a particular solo-bit...
Love the battle with the harmonica,which this also happens to be my favourite solo of,so two strikes for one there.
(Sometimes would prefer the following solo-bit as favourite(starts around 03.20) :

).
For the drums we Dutch have Cesar Zuiderwijk(drumsolo starts around 07.00) :

 

[Penfold]

I thought I would throw a bit of Stevie Ray Vaughan into the mix for guitar solo.

 

[Conforumist]

Vocals with a difference...

Wow, good one!! :clap:

I had the same look on my face as the host.

EDIT:
..some great posts here. Well deserving I think!

 

[Conforumist]

Here's Ric Emmett'

Ric sometimes goes to pubs and gives free guitar lessons. I really appreciate that about him; even though I don't play myself.

 

[Mycroft Vimes]

Steve Ray Vaughan...yes please!
How about :

Another guitar virtuoso(+former student of Joe Satriani) is Steve Vai of course :

or the albumversion if you preferhttp://youtu.be/okLDkcexiVg,i actually quite like the violin in the one above.
Or this :

:music-headbanger:
Saw them both together with their G3-tour,great stuff.

 

[Penfold]

Steve Ray Vaughan...yes please!

How about Stevie sharing the use of his double neck guitar with his brother, Jimmy.
