This isn't about the best guitar solo, but your favorite one, and explain why it's your fav.

Mine is the one of Fatal Tragedy (Dream Theater). It may not be Petrucci's best, but I love it because it begins quite powerful, then he plays some sort of different "extracts", and finally that amazing progression until the end of the song.

Michael Denner's solo in King Diamond's "Black Horsemen" is one of the all time great metal solos IMO. xD

The 2nd solo in Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb". For me, that solo takes you to another place, like no other solo can.

My only gripe, is that because it's at the end of the song, it fades out with the song. Which is shite for such an amazing piece of music.

Songs that fade out are one of my pet hates. lol There's a minority of ocassions were it sounds right, but most of the time, it feels lazy, and the song doesn't feel like its properly concluded if it fades out.

Dunno if I have any one favourite solo, but one that tends to spring to mind when I'm looking for some good guitar, is Death and the Healing by Wintersun.

That is,for me,an impossible question...today is Kissing the Shadows by Children of Bodom.Yesterday it wasn´t.Tomorrow it´s going to be another...but of course it stays in my top.

Greg Fulton's solo at the end of "I Hate Therefore I Am" by Cyclone Temple is one of my fave ever solos. Underrated band and album.

I like Maiden, but more for the riffs and vocals than any solo, kinda forgetable imo.

That's just a small lead break, I suspect fanboyism.
