oor Obvious reasons people always ask for the best intro but the best outro must be Cinnamon Girl (live) by good old Neil

Good call. I love it. Slash makes the guitar cry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE

I think you've got to go a long way to find a guitarist who rivals Jack White. The live version of Blue Veins sends shivers down my spine. There's a great solo in this, too:

I said this the last time there was a similar thread so I'll say it again, Tony Peluso's solo on "Goodbye to Love".

In a similar vein Alan Parker's solo on the Walker Brother's "No Regrets" - I love the way he and the strings play in harmony with each other (or they spliced it together afterwards to make it sound as they did). It doesn't always have to rock.

The soloing on the recent "High Hopes" version of Sprinsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad is pretty out there. I have also always liked Graham Coxon's solo on This Is A Low. The latter proves you don't always have to be technically great; imagination can work.

Great, great call US, i haven't heard that since my early teens. If the criteria is heavy rock I can't think of anything better, although as a big Rush fan I love La Villa Strangiato.

Funny you saying Michael Schenker. This was the first thing to come into my head when i saw the title of this thread,
Michael Schenker Armed and Ready https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl1hXq83-D0
He lives local I've seen him a few times around town and spoken to him a couple of times.

Dream Theater's The spirit carries on. John Petrucci delivers a masterclass solo which alternates between a slow, emotional sound to precise but beautiful shredding which belies his critics accusation that he cannot play stylishly and emotionally.

The solos on Blackbird by Alter Bridge take some beating.
