Yeah i agree that Stevie Via and Hendrix are awsome guitarists.
Theres many great solest but theres not many duels that can solo.... One
of the only bands that have 2 soloest at the same time is Iron Maiden. If
you heard the song "Phantom Of The Opera" it has a duel on the guitar solo.
Its around a 2-3 mins solo
Iron Maiden is one of the only bands to add in a "classical" music aspect
to it. They have key changes and change styles in there songs which is hard
to hear in a lot of bands (new or old). Another great soloing bands is
Avenged Sevenfold. They also add in the "classical" music aspect to there
music. Instead of writing a 3 mins song, they compose a 8 min musical
experence. Metallica's Kirk Hammet is an amazing soloist. He can rip out
some pretty fast licks. Also Zack Wylde is another amazing soloist. He
spits out some of the fast pinch harmonics ive heard. Hendrix almost takes
the cake when it comes to soloing. Not always the fast paced "speed demon"
style everybody tries to go for in a solo. He just makes up extremly
creative lines. Changing between playing a fast scale on the 12 fret and
playing rhythmic chords all along the fret board. And he also makes use of
his effects. Another creative guitarist is Tom Merello of Rage Against the
Machine and Audioslave. From some solos he do pick slides to make his
guitar sound like a turntable. Like Hendrix he uses both Funk and Blues in
his solos.....
ROCK ON!

Hmmm, picking just one is a bit rough because there are dozens of great
ones and picking one seems like a slight to others, but...
The first one that springs to mind is the late Shawn Lane's typically
mind-blowing jam in "Wherever You Walk" from the "Time is the Enemy" album
from 1996 with Hellborg and Sipe.
More recent is roughly any given spot - slap in either disc and cue up at
any point - of Frank Marino's brand-new RealLIVE!. I cannot recommend this
release more highly. Though US release isn't scheduled until mid-November
2004, it's been on sale at mahoganyrush.com - with autographs by Frank for
the foreseeable future - since early September. It's a concert from
Montreal recorded three days before the September 11, 2001 attacks - which
lends an eerie feel to Frank's traditional "Electric Reflections of War"
passage from his solo sequence. He tells of a kind of premonition he had
while he played that part, a wave of intense sadness that came over him
while he played it and a sudden urge to play fragments of "Star-Spangled
Banner" and "Taps," neither of which he'd played live in years - which
comes across palpably on the recording.
When I lived in Portland (OR,) there was a steak house that had this
marketing gimmick where if you could eat an entire 72 oz steak (that's
about 5.5 pounds,) with all the side dishes in a single hour, it
was on the house.
RealLIVE! could be described as the rock guitar equivalent of a 72 oz.
steak.
For a taste, there's an 11-minute MP3 "trailer" - a medley of sorts -
available as a free download at http://www.mahoganyrush.com Turn up your sound card,
click, sit back, and bask in some of the most incredible jamming
imaginable. And yeah - the whole thing sounds like that - clocking
in at 2 1/2 hours total.
The phenomenal live sound comes from the fact that Marino had total control
of all aspects of the recording, from concert engineering to recording,
editing, mixing, production, everything.
And no, nobody's paying me - or even asking me - to say this. Just...check
it out.
It's hard to pick a favorite from an overall performance like that, but his
version of "Voodoo Chile" - the slow blues thing, not "Slight Return" -
which is the opening track, is unbelievable, and the extended jam he does
in "He's Calling" leaves me speechless.
Pardon the running l o n g ...
