Seen some great guitarists live in my time. Slash Dave Murray Adrian Smith Kirk Hammet James Hetfield Synyster Gates was very special however possibly the best I've seen live is Eddie Van Halen, awesome. That said ask me in 5 minutes and I'll have changed my mind ....... maybe Slash ....... I just can't decide. :wacko:

Nope, Le Roux was an American 1980's melodic rock band pretty well unknown outside of Louisiana. This is an original song , with a stunning guitar solo at the end. The thing is this sort of band as good as they were IMHO were competing against established rock bands of that era and despite 4 albums never made the breakthrough. I followed The U.S/Canadian and to some extent the British rock scene very closely from the mid 70's to the early 90's when it fizzled out. A great time for music :) .

 

 

 

Solo at 3:40

favourites are (in no particular order) :tony iommi (black Sabbath) best solo possibly on johnny blade. Jeff loomis from Nevermore. Larry carlton and lee ritenour, excellent jazz guitarists. Zakk Wylde from Black label society. But here's some larry and lee. I think the best thing about this song are the shirts! And check out that octive action.

As it says favourites, I would say:

 

For musicality - David Gilmour

For their energy - Angus Young or Pete Townsend

For virtuosity - John Entwistle (I presume bass players are allowed)

 

Hang on...there's a theme here

mark king from level 2 for me

That's a great call but I think you mean Level 42 :)

 

No Graham that's a different Mark King ... I was on level 2 with alumina's Mark King when I was at college

 

Anyway I like Mark Knopfler !!

 

ETA and my favourite solo is Sultans of Swing
