Guitar riffs? Anything Tony Iommi has done or Angus Young has done. The Riffmasters! Solo? No One Like You, Scorpions.
It's not a lie, if you believe it..........

They re-recorded the song with John Farnham on vocals a few years ago and Brian May added extra guitar work on to the end of the song.
I like it and wish they had done it with the original.

The guitar in the beginning on "Sweet Child of Mine" stands out as much as the beginning Keyboard notes of "Don't Stop Believing". You instantly know what song it is.

That's a good one too! And I do like Joey's solo stuff too. I might have to pull that out. It's been a while.

Always enjoyed ZZ Top's "Tush" opening riff.

RAWKS!

Add to that Wings of Tomorrow(1984) and Start From The Dark(2004)

Kee Marcello has had his solo project for few years now,,, he released a cd under a project called Blind Melon, where the main song "Hey Romeo" did a bit of success in Scandinavia ,,,,,,, He was also one of the contestants for "Swedish Melody Festival", in a duette with Allanah Myles.... :shock:
One of the best and most underrated guitar players of all time.......

As far as best solos, I think this is probably one of the best solos ever written and played (and I bet most of you havent even heard this solo! ),,,, starts at 1:59 and best part kicks in at 2:18.

Here's another one of my favorites...Giant. If they had come out 3 years earlier, they would have been one of the biggest bands in the industry! Just a day late and a dollar short. Anyway, here's my favorite Giant song. Gotta love Dan Huff. :wink:

"I'll See You In My Dreams"

Robben Ford also played guitar on that Rick Springfield album. I don't know who played what though. Both great players.
