Question: What Are Your Favourite Guitar Solos/lead Breaks in Rock History?
Answer: I still sometimes purposely listen to the Randy Rhoads solos from Mr. Crowley and Revelation (Mother Earth) just to hear them again.
Another I often come back to is Uli Roth’s shred on the intro to Scorpion’s "Sails of Charon".
I have always really liked both Jimi and Stevie Ray’s versions of Voodoo Child.
Gilmour’s beautiful sound shines on the solos from Time and Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd.
I love the sound Murray cultivated for Iron Maiden’s Wratchild … it brings the whole tune together.
I’ve always loved the feel-good-yet-bluesy sound of Angus Young, however, I think the aggressive punch of the way he begins the solo in AC/DC’s "Inject the Venom" makes it stand out.
I like Slash’s stuff in GN’R. Sweet Child O’ Mine and November Rain.
"One" by Metallica or "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zepplin
