Loudest gig I ever went to was Gary Moore on the Still Got The Blues tour. He did a great solo on that song live, but it hurt so much there was no pleasure in the moment.

OK, this young man will most likely be unknown to nearly everyone. But he is a great guitarist. His name is Andrei Cerbu. He does a great solo in this original song. I would recommend you listen to the whole song, but this is a guitar solo thread, so i will link to the solo.

For some reason recently the YouTube algorithm decided I should be listening to power metal, so now I'm listening to power metal. Anyway, here's the short version of Through the Fire and Flames. I thoroughly recommend you seek out the full 7.40 version though, with extra shreddy guitar soloing. It's very silly and brings me a great deal of joy.

ETA: See if you can spot Herman Li's whammy bar dangle-drop-kick-catch signature guitar move. It's pretty cool but he does like to do it a lot.

I've been watching her stuff for about 5 years.
Great talent, wish I could drum anywhere near as well as she did when she was 15.

I think every time they play this it's different, still the basic song but there's a lot of improvising goes on,

I've got a number of favorite guitar solos. I'll limit it to three. Three of the greatest to ever hold a guitar. Frank Zappa. John McLaughlin. Jeff Beck.

Along the same line, I love his rare acoustic guitar playing on Sleep Dirt

This one should work though for those that don't know the song

The Red and the Black - guitar "solo" (4 guitars and drums) starts around 6.30. You've got to remember that these guys are pensioners.
