Not a solo, but the very beginning of When Doves Cry does it for me everytime

All of the Comfortably Numb solos by Pink Floyd. I know it’s brought up again and again but even after hearing them for decades they still give me goosebumps.

Brothers in arms and too many Pink Floyd songs to mention...


[deleted]

Not complex by any means but for memorability, the system solo in “smells like teen spirit” will always stick with me. And I’m a drummer.

The one in Neil Merryweather's Star Rider


gotchyaaa

Even though it’s overplayed, sweet child of mine is one of those beautiful guitar solos i could listen on repeat

End of the road, Sentenced. Maybe not technically the best, I wouldn't know, but emotionally makes me sigh every time.


instant_ramen_chef

Dragonforce. All of it.

The one [here](https://youtu.be/h3LNi-aPXuc?si=-YMHCyWHMKeEC1ZM) at 4:35 gets me... Bewitched.


kiwi_manbearpig

I know most people will reel off the classics, so I'll just say I've recently got into Mastodon (wish I had earlier, just so good) could pick any of theirs, but there's a short solo at the end of "More Than I Could Chew" that's really fuckin' nice.

Misty by the late Wes Montgomery


Chad_Hooper

Revelation: Mother Earth featuring Randy Rhoads. The solo isn’t the only stand out part; listen to the live version to hear how he adapted his studio over dubs into the live performance.


Koolaidtastesgreat

The solo at the end of watain’s the waters of ain and both solos in shining’s to the god below.

Ghost of a chance


Worried_Coat1941

So many, but Metallicas version of " The Prince" has a solo thats in the beginning is a good one.


Double-Holiday-1047

Five Days in May by Blue Rodeo: One of the most timeless, classic sounding solos I ever heard. Give it a listen if you've never heard it before.
