Emotional / Powerful:
I've got a 12 min version of Comfortably Numb that blows my head away
Steve Vai - For The Love of God
Ozzy Osbourrne - No More Tears
King's X - Cigarettes (especially the live version)
Skill / Wanking:
Metallica - Disposable Heroes
Joe Satriani - Borg Sex
Liquid Tension Experiment - Paradigm Shift (or any of their songs, really)
Anything by:
- Greg Howe
- Marty Friedman
etc
I could go on and on. To pick one perfect solo is nearly impossible (I guess it would have to be Comfortably Numb though). As a musician, I appreciate talent and know what it takes to play this stuff as well as these guitarists do.
