Is this the best Rock Instrumental/guitar solo ever?

I dont know about best ever but its pretty good. Sounds like its been done before though.

I voted yes there is better: Have to back it.. ;-)

The work he does from 6.44 on, is hair raising.

This is way over the top and its written music like orchestrated prior to playing with Stevie Via going nuts freestyle. So it wont be everyones cup of tea.

I think Stevie rules the lead King since Frank Zappa died.

This came to mind too

Prince rips it up when he want to,he steps forward here at 3.28.

I could go on all night with this topic.

Hell no.

Randy Rhoads is one of my all-time fave.

Thanks for the reminder i added Mark Knoppler and that work to my playlist of best lead work.

I notice Vinnie Colaiuta drumming for Jeff Beck there. Zappas ex drummers are the best there is and only seem to play with the best.

Tony Bozzio is a fav of mine too.

Speaking of Ozzies lead men.

I'll ban anyone who posts Eruption. Fuck Van Halen.

I love Zappa's drummers too. BTW that's me playing the guitar on that song! Just wanted to test everyone's reaction to it. Of course I know it aint the best ever, not even close, but I think its one of my best solos and I just wanted to see what you guys thought.

**brocktonblockbust** · 10-09-2011 05:42 AM

here's another one of mine when I was in a really psychedelic mood. Good use of controlled feedback I think. A real psycho instrumental here.

**Andre** · 10-09-2011 06:13 AM

Nice work.
Ive actually listened to the first one you put up there and watched the great audio with those shots of the sun etc a few weeks ago.

Another coincidence

.

**brocktonblockbust** · 10-09-2011 05:25 PM

Yeah Andre he's absolutely sick, as well as the girl playing bass Tal Wilkenfield. She is like 17-18 when they played on that video, the sound quality is so bad on that clip you can barely even hear her. Check out Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scotts if you haven't seen it, it was released as a DVD, same three piece band. Mind blowingly good.
