Buckethead on Better and IRS are the two best 'rocking' solos and Robin's on TIL is stunning.  The Bucket solo in better makes my fists clench, which is always the sign of a good solo!

Best song overall for guitar is probably TWAT.

Great thread!

The whole album is a fucking orgy in guitar work drool
But it's still not hard to choose a favourite.
There Was A Time has the best guitar solo ever.
Simply breathtaking, moving and exciting.

Other honorable mentions (at the top of my head):

Better
This I Love
Sorry
IRS
Shackler's

EDIT:

Robin's solo in Chinese Democracy (the song) is fucking awesome too. smoking

Chinese Democracy (the album) has some of GN'R's best guitar work ever.

I've not read the thread.

I like the Sorry guitar solo, the middle bit. It has feel to it, which I like.

This I love has good guitar too. I like how that song develops.

I like the variations in There was a time. The guitaring in this is excellent.

Every second of guitar on the album is awesome. Favourites? The last three minutes of TWAT, the second solo of CD (not played at Rio in 2001), and Riad. And Better.

And the rest of the album.

Buckethead's Sorry solo is perfect.
I also love the end solo in Prostitute and the solo in Catcher In The Rye.

Guitar rock at it's finest.

Robin - This I Love, Better, Street of Dreams
Buckethead - Sorry, If The World
Bumble - Shackler's and Catcher in the Rye

so much excellent guitar work on the album.   My very favorite is probably Robin's This I Love.

I like the first guitar solo and parts 3:18-3:50 on I.R.S., The intro to Chinese Democracy at :47, and the acoustic stuff on If The World.

I have been so wrapped up with listening to the other stuff, that I forgot - I love that buzzsaw stuff in Chi-dem...really stood out from the first time I heard it on the radio.

1 - Robin Finck, "This I Love". The second and third solo are far far far away from this solo
2 - Finck / Buckethead, "There Was A Time"
3 - Robin Finck, "Street Of Dreams"




Pretty acurate.  I think there's better than Street of Dreams, but none of the others compare to This I Love or TWAT.

Robin Finck's solo toward the end of "Better" is definitely my favorite so far.  It just has so much feel and flow.  It reminds me of the solos on "Estranged" and "November Rain."

You guys have really done a great job covering all the killer guitar work that I have discovered THUS far. I think we'll STILL be finding cool guitar work on this album years from now. drool

I'll only add that Robin Finck's solo in "This I Love" is my favorite and I STILL consider it one of the finest instrumental performances on ANY Guns N' Roses album. Absolutely gorgeous. peace

I'm a huge fan of Buckethead's playing and unsurprisingly my favourite solo's on the album are from him, there's so much emotion in his playing:

1. There Was A Time (Outro solo, possibly my favourite guitar solo in a song ever!)
2. If The World (Electric solo)
3. Sorry (Solo)

All the guitar on the album is amazing though and I really like Ron's additions to the songs. I also love Robin's solo's in 'There Was A Time' and 'This I Love'.
Also in 'Sorry' at 1min when Axl sings 'What were you thinking?' the guitar in the background is really nice, very cool sound.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned guitar works on Madagascar. I love it so much. Anyway, I can honesly say that in everz song on Chinese Democracy I love few guitar parts/licks/riffs/solos . This is what you'll get when you put 5 great guitar players together.
