guitar solos
i agree with the thing about speed in solos. it's a really big crowd pleaser to be fast and amazing, but it's also great to be slow enough to make some sense. another thing is that if you play at slow or medium speed, it will be easier for your fans to play your stuff without skill. i know that someone is going to think that i only put that here because i myself am slow, but i'm not :). a good example of that would be joe satriani. he does slow and fast stuff in his songs. basically, i'm saying that instrumental stuff should be fast enough to drive people nuts, but slow and beautiful enough to move them to tears.

Yeah, I like people like Satch over Yngwie for those reasons.
I should learn some of Satches songs somethime, I've been listening to Flying in a Blue Dream a lot. It'd be nice to know how to play it.

Yeah, Satch is the most soulful solo guitarist out there.
And he has very nice technical skills as well.
That's why he's more popular than Malmsteen for example, bec. every body can like his music, unlike Malmsteen's stuff which are exclusively for guitar shredders only.
Also many shredders seem not to like malmsteen so much for the fact that there are many guitarists who can easily outplay him.

Same here, I'm more of a Vai fan too... And I have to admit that Satch's music is better... But Vai is the most innovative guitarist ever.

Yeah, that's true and we all know it... but this doesn't make him better.
Vai is better technicaly, while Satch is better musicaly.

Didn't Vai take lessons from him when they were both kids?
Anyway, I like Vai's music better. I just cant get into Satch's songs like I can to Vai's.

The 2 solos that i will never forget are:
RANDY RHOADS: Mister Crowley
JIMMI HENDRIX: Star Spangled Banner
Even though Hendrix didn't write the song he did make it his own.

ok I really can't rate what's the best but I can tell you which ones I have been listening to as of lately
Jimi-Machine Gun
Clapton-Crossroads
Deep Purple-Child in Time from Made in Japan
Eagles-Hotel California
Santana-Black Magic Woman
Peter Green -The Supernatural and if you listen to the progression for this song you'll see where he got the idea for Black Magic Woman
