There's a lack of anything else to discuss at the moment.

I realize there's probably 100's of other topics on the same subject, but if anyone's interested, what do you think as of TODAY?

Best GN'R guitar solo?

No objective truth to this of course, but what's everyone's take? I am leaning towards Sweet Child O' Mine. The guitar solo is so passionate, but still layered. A compassionate first part, then the "in your face part" hits you at the end. It flows so seamlessly with the song, I would say perfectly.

To be clear, this is for any studio version... Nightrain Boston 2002 is right up there for me.

I'd go with Estranged. I remember when I heard the song for the first time, I literally thought that the guitar was crying. Still having goosebumps to this day listening to it.

Hard to choose just one, but I love the solo in There Was a Time.

I agree about Estranged too.

Locomotive. When people ask me what my favorite Gnr song is, I say this one. Usually, they are shocked at how good the guitar solo is(people not obsessed with the band)

Very well said. That’s exactly what I’ve always thought. “Estranged” gets my vote as well.

“November Rain” gets a vote as well. That sounds like a guitar solo just pouring out of the heart and soul.

A personal favorite of my has always been "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," because it's so perfectly, wonderfully melodic. You can hum/sing the entire thing. That said, I think it's probably "Sweet Child," because that's Slash at the very top of his game. The front end is melodic, the second half cuts loose, and it also makes amazing use of the wah pedal. This feels like the rare case of the popular answer also being the right one. But that's just my two cents.

Oh man. Knockin' on Heaven's Door was the first song I learned to play begining to end on the guitar. Brings back a lot of memories when I was still learning how to play. Great song and great solo.

How can you choose just one?  hihi

Slash was the first guitar player who caught my attention, after Gary Moore.
