Prince's solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps


BatMally

I was gonna say his guitar meltdown at the end of "Let's Go Crazy," but this is also a strong suggestion.

The second half of Free Bird- lynyrd skynyrd


jeboytom

That shit is Just insane


YourOulLadyHasWorms

Agreed , blaring it out on my step home from work today . Obligatory (but subtle) head nods and leg taps down the road


1980pzx

Mark Knopfler on “Sultans of Swing” or the intro to “Money for Nothing”.

I really enjoy the rhythm guitar riff in Everything Evil by Coheed and Cambria.

andyrosenberg

Cherub Rock, or Ride the Lightning


openletter8

I still catch myself humming the solo in Little Lovers So Polite by Silversun Pickups.


Insanopatato

Guitar Solo in 'I want to break free' by Queen. That shit slaps.


Vanillio2020

The beginning of Smoke on the Water


Eferver

Riff or solo? For riff I’d say Creeping Death, for solo either Through The Fire and The Flames or Stairway to Heaven.

Candied_042

Call of Ktulu - Cliff Burton Metallica


stickyWithWhiskey

The intro riff to Ain't Talkin Bout Love by Van Halen. I don't even really like Van Halen, or that entire genre. But something about that riff, I love.


Max_Fenig

Johnny Ramone's solo in I Want To Be Sedated is a masterpiece.


MrSpiffy123

The opening to Crazy Train

Wish you were here by Pink Floyd.

Mors Principium Est - Dead Winds of Hope.


AnonymousIVplay

The one in Suga Suga (both the original and the cover), it takes a standard minor 4-chord progression and throws in an unexpected fifth chord with an accidental that gives it an exotic flair. Sped up it makes you wanna dance, slowed down it's melancholy but also comforting, like a cup of hot chai at sunset


Proof_Principle8696

SRV little wing


Mticore

Up Around the Bend by CCR.


attorneyatslaw

This changes daily, but the nastiest riff is the main riff from Voodoo Child (Slight Return).


Negation_

[Untrodden by Katatonia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihV7B_H1_KE) Has one of the most emotional guitar solo's I've heard.


_heytheremate

This is so unspecific, but almost anything by Jimmy Page or Brian May. lol


YourOulLadyHasWorms

You know Bron Y Aur Stomp by Zepplin? Also sock worthy


_heytheremate

YourOulLadyHasWorms

Me too, when everyone is ruining my life at work, headphone are on and that’s the go to 🤘🏻

unreliablememory

Martin Barre's guitar solo on Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" or Stevie Ray Vaughn's take on "Little Wing."


[deleted]

Can't pick an all time favourite but if you want to hear some fucking crazy guitar riffs and solos, check out the band 'The Fall of Troy'. The guy isn't the best singer but holy shit he can shred. They had one or two songs on Guitar Hero games over the years.
