Hi all, I was looking to see eveyones favorie guitar sol, or bit in any song. My personal favorite is from Ride the Wild Wind from 2:54 - 3:28. It's just so cool with some heavy riffs followed with his chrasmatic rhythm. Pure genius. When I get to that part of the song I blast it and hear it over and over again. Anyone else have a favorite?

As this is a Queen forum I'll go with three of Brian's; Sail Away Sweet Sister, Play The Game and Save Me (although there's many momnets of exquisite genius to choose from). It's only when writing this post that I've realised they're all from one album! 1979/80 were obviously good years for him!
If we're including other acts I'll also go for Richie Sambora on I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi, and Slash with Estranged by Guns n Roses
These aren't reccessarily classifiable as 'best', but simply my favourites (today)
Cheers

I always liked the little bit of guitar in Its a Hard Life and thanks to the 5.1 mix can be heard in isolation. I must have listened to it on its own 20+ times in a row when I realised (and unplugged the other 4 speakers :-)

The brilliance of Brian May are embodied in three pieces - Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Good Company. His genius in melody and arrangement are simply unmatched in these three songs.
As for non-Queen, some of my favourite solos are Awaken by Yes (three different spots from Steve Howe in that one), Goodnight Kiss by Dream Theater (John Petrucci at his melodic best), Firth Of Fifth by Genesis (arguably Steve Hackett's finest work) and Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeppelin (Page's biggest musical statement, as far as I'm concerned).
