Rutlefan Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Probably been done before but I couldn't find it so I'll start. I think I remember a thread about favorite guitar solos but I mean this to be about those legendary solos that can make a claim to be GOAT, or at least be in the conversation. 1. Brighton Rock - Queen Since I've been in a Queen mood of late. May would play this solo in concerts throughout their career, long after they stopped playing Brighton Rock (or so I understand). There are greater solos for sure, even better May solos, but I thought this would kick off the list nicely.

Blue J Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) 1. Queen- Brighton Rock2. The Allman Brothers Band- One Way Out (from At Fillmore East) Duane Allman and Dickey Betts both deserve it for this song- one, then the other, then intertwined together...it’s just divine.

TexMike Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) La Villa Strangiato solo has to be up there. Also, Glenn Tipton's solo on "Beyond The Realms Of Death". Edited August 24, 2019 by TexMike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
