What is the best guitar solo of all time? I'd say it's the solo from "Free Bird" by Lynard Skynard.

I'd have to agree with you but keep in mind I haven't heard them all.
When you have children of your own, if being here dosen't somehow damage your pecker, you will no doubt be plagued with incesant questions by your beautiful offspring. Things like . Daddy why is that conservative kicking the puppy.? Daddy why is the ice cream cold? Daddy why can't I have some more nails? :lol:

The technically best guitar solos aren't really found in classic rock. However, my vote for the all-time rock classic solo goes to someone who probably isn't close to being as technically sound as many great classic rock guitarists.
Terry Kath/Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4

It would have to be stairway to heaven
and i say that reluctantly given how much this song has been overplayed.
i have been obsessed with this solo for quite some time and i do believe that it is in some way divinely of perhaps satanically inspired.
played on a 1959 telecaster-no not a double neck gibson ---it is perhaps the most ignimatic and iconic
minute of rock music ever recorded.
Even Jimmy page himself cannot REALLY reproduce it live.
You can get the tab for it note for note -and to play it --but its not the same
Its odd--very simple --pentatonic minor--a very typical rock scale -based meandering but for some
inexplicable reason its genius defyies analysis
i'm pretty sure page was on acid when he recorded it

Go to YouTube and search for Outlaws, Green Grass & High Tides. There are several versions of the song, in several parts, of varying lengths, and they're all worth listening to. Some really superlative solos in there backed by a pounding rhythm section. Those guys are seriously under-rated.

Should put it on the Tube Nugg.... Those times we make our own tunz down in the basement - complete with flubs, squeaks and pickchatter - are better than all the Slowhand, Atkins or Mascurri you can pay big bucks to hear ... 'cuz we make 'em ourselves....
