I can't think of any solos off the top of my head, but it'd probably be one by Bumblefoot.. the coolest axeman around today.

Don't pass up Maggot Brain just because it's by Funkadelic, Eddie Hazel is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time who's style of playing could be described as "Metal-Funk" or something. The title track is one of the best solos I've ever heard, and the solos on "Super Stoopid" as well as some other songs are some of the best you'll ever hear. You should also get the Mahavishnu Orchestra's The Inner Mounting Flame, John Mclaughlin's high-octane soloing just rips along, it's incredible. |

They're just completely different styles of playing, and I consider those wankers some of the best musicians of our time. IMHO. That being said, I'm sure I'd like Allan Holdsworth more if I heard some better quality recordinds than the onew on Google movies. Plus his guitar is pretty cool, not many people play headless guitars |
