@bradejensen fun thread 
Is your intent for us to share solos we’ve heard where we’re like “Whoa how the hell did they play that???” or solos we think are really good? Like, great phrasing, tasteful but still requires great technique, takes the song somewhere it hadn’t gone previously etc. Depending, I’d supply drastically different song titles lol!
The intent was that we had a show and tell, now we are going to transcribe and play these solos at 50% speed on a classical guitar to build up strength!
JK LOL!
Just whatever you think sounds good and over the top, like over the top of mount everest, the highest echelon! 
I have never heard this, but does it sound glorious! Paul Gilbert was always the most impressive player when I was younger. His attack was just so heavy handed, and supremely articulate. These days Stochelo Rosenberg is the highest of the highest to me. I am sure there are other gypsy pickers that are great too. But I like how he is trying to help players by what he offers in his academy.
If we are talking like how you are talking definitely this song.
But still Snakebite solo beats this, but this is damn near my favorite Yngwie song. Maybe my all time favorite.
For me it’s still Winter Madness:
That an impossible thing to answer, but one that I love is Marty Friedman and Jason Becker in ESP
I’ve always thought Satriani’s “Until We Say Goodbye” is one of my favorite lead breaks, and if I had to pick one this would probably be it.
The song itself is fine, but the solo… touch, feel, tone for days, speed used to create tension, some really great tension/resolution moments… and all with what was probably one of his Ibnanez JS guitars but what sounds a lot like a Strat played with not much more gain than SRV would favor. It’s just an explosive solo.
About 1:35 or so. \m/
This bit from Jason is awesome to me. From the start, till 40 sec.
The riff is so powerful after the initial shredding then has the guitar screaming for the mini solo. As far as I’m aware this is just him playing over himself. I love the rawness of it.
This is him and Marty doing that live.
got great blues solos near the end!
And this solo by marty is so crazy!
garsed?
this one the solo just walks out the the starting groove.
pretty much this whole album, but I cued it.
This one I have the live DVD from his instruction signed by him, the DVD has those spots on it, I’m going to have to order it again from Brett, that’ live performance is to die for, the album sound anemic compared to that DVD, but still, it’s fabulous.
This thread can go on forever. Love it.
edit:
something to turn it down, but still goosebump worthy:
it’s impossible to stop posting really 
The 70s era is the wildest in my book:
This kind of stuff just doesn’t happen, it’s like the “gods” followed this man every where he played those three decades.
Haha knew I would see Hey Tee Bone. Sick track, this was definitely in my top 2.
There are some licks on there that … whole era was crazy good, they’re still at it 
Lukather, Hold The Line (not me playing, just an impeccable cover):
Marcello, Superstitious:
Marcello, Tower’s Callin’ (every solo off this album is amazing):
Can’t forget some Alan Holdsworth - this segment right here, what the hell is happening
My two favorite Jason Becker solos, Dweller in the Cellar (second part of the song) and Cacophony’s Images :
@bradejensen alright so over the last day I worked out a version of the short, second solo from Snakebite because I always thought it was super cool. Paul I’m pretty sure does this wide interval legato thing - but I re-wrote it as sweeps/sweep tapping because well I’m better at that lol.
Still a bit rough but I’m not not sure if I want to spend time refining it too much - I think I managed to find fingerings that were (relatively) pretty comfortable if you have a preference for sweep picking.
Soundslice:
You know what’s crazy is I was actually in the process of figuring it out by ear. I had it ripped off YouTube last night, changed tempo in audacity, started listening to it, and I was like, not today, and fell asleep. Even slowed down I could tell it is just to involved. It made me sleepy. I might look at it soon, and try to incorporate that middle finger pluck method that all these new guys are doing.
I am more into gypsy jazz style lines these days, and working on my half rest stroke technique, getting it faster.
This is good work, if you made it this far, maybe do it all. But yeah if it isnt something you want to refine I understand that, only so much we can learn at a time.
I found this last night, and I had to see if he was actually using half rest stroke. But it looked like he wasnt, but it looks more like DSX on the descended lines.
I almost made an accident in my pants thats how impressed I wouldve been, but when I found out it wasnt half rest stroke I actually had a sigh of relief. Almost had a mild heart attack though.
Are you talking about this 'swybrid’ picking technique I’ve been seeing? Recently I’ve this picked up by a number of different online guitarists teaching it, usually referencing Marshall Harrison on it. Been using more hybrid picking lately after re-watching a bunch of Chris Broderick stuff, definitely a technique /set of techniques I want to work on.
The half rest stroke?
You don’t want to know. 
It is the hardest picking to deal with on guitar.
It’s like doing a gypsy jazz minor add 2 lick line, but in reverse descending. And when you switch strings you always do downstroke, it’s called half rest stroke, because you don’t really rest.
