Ask me tomorrow and I'll probably have changed my mind. Very difficult to narrow it down to five.

I really like Nuno's solo in "Hole Hearted" (acoustic guitar, though). As a kid, I used to love this song mainly because it - and I wasn't a metalhead nor did I know how to play any instruments.

I don't think I could pick just a few, but I'm gonna throw at least one more song into the pool - one which I was listening to just yesterday:

The Gathering - Broken Glass



EDIT: oh, and also

Sentenced - Excuse Me While I Kill Myself

 

[DC23]

Five that I could think of this morning. In no particular order:

Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley
Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Mr. Big - Burn

F*ckin great choice man! That is one of the best non-wankoff type solos, really killer.

I really dig the "No More Tears" solo. Been trying to play the last double picking part for the last 10 years. I'm about 4-5 bpm too slow still!

Eric Johnson - SRV

Satch.....man, so much to choose from - fave albums are Joe Satriani, Crystal Planet and The Extremist (first tour I saw live as a teenager). Best solo could be....Luminous Flesh Giants, The Extremist, War, Raspberry Jam Delta V......I can't decide!
