believe it or not there's quite a few actually my picks...


"Slide" by the funk band "Slave" (guitar solo done by "drac")...in fact there's 2 long bad ass guitar solos...

"Redlight Special" by TLC, guitar solo is done by slash i believe...i really like the intro solo as well.

"Black Cat" by Janet Jackson, the solo is done by Dave Barry...reminiscent of the solo from rock you like a hurricane. another version has vernon reid on it.

"Dirty Diana" by Michael Jackson solo by Steve Stevens

"Bombs over Baghdad" by outkast beautifully complemented by bad ass DJ scratches.

"Aint gone hurt nobody" by "Brick" solo done by Regi Hargis Hickman

"Yearning for Your Love" by The Gap Band solo by Fred Jenkins

"Colonized Mind" by Prince

"Passion" by Dionne Farris solo by Chris Tinsley of follow for now.

Pretty much all of Eddie Hazel's cover of California Dreamin' is just him going nuts on the guitar, so...that song. Any part of it qualifies!

lol you know what? i would too. but say that in certain circles it becomes dicey for some reason.Too true. There is a lot of overlap. But nobody could ever say that Eddie Hazel doesn't rock like a motherfucker.

I don't like Bachata but Aventura's un Beso starts with a great acoustic solo.
