The slow solo from 0:28 before the song properly kicks in is savage.

All this guitar solo indulgence suddenly made me want to listen to this for the first time in years:

The best comment I've ever seen about this solo is that Steve Vai's fingers had to be pixilated on videos of it in Japan.

I remember reading an interview years ago where he said he wrote this for Prince and even got as far as performing it in Paisley Park Studios (not with Prince himself playing, just his band), but then it didn't get used by him in the end.

The opening solo in Dying For Love by Black Sabbath is so good. Slow, bluesy, sexy and evocative.

When I think of slow solos I think of a young Danny Kavanagh with a Les Paul. This one in particular is so bleak and forlorn but has a little bit of hope to it, which just makes it more miserable.

Either of the guitar solos on the Live and Dangerous version of Still in Love With You, just magic. First one starts at about 2:40, the second at about 5:20.

God ya, that's a beaut. I mentioned earlier in the thread his lead playing on the Falling Deeper is just magnificent. Probably tied with Comfortably Numb for most suited to this thread.
