Nothing long like Stairway to Heaven, just a nice 10-25 second guitar solo that you think is awesome.

I'm not hugest fan of the band, but the solo at 2:45 in this song is sick.

Anything by them is so thoughtless and "up and down scales" that I don't think anything even meant to be a guitar solo is one.

Whilst I'm not as presumtuous to say they have the best, to me, there are moments in that song that have memorable sequences. If I was going to say something else, I'd definatly say 2:03 - 2:16.

Pretty awesome solo there. If you haven't heard any Children of Bodom and you like that sorta stuff, I'd recommend them.

As a huge coincidence, all the the short solos I like are by Bodom.

2:34 - 2:45
3:30 - 3:50
2:20 - 2:30

Yeah, I really like CoB. The only solo you listed that I wasn't aware of that you listed was from The Wrath Within, which is also my favorite out of those 3.

Yeah that one really caught me by surprise, it doesn't sound anything like the rest of the song, but it somehow fits so well.

I tend to mark the songs which surprise me with a little [*] in WMP so i can find them again :<

Your favorite short guitar solo?

I've always liked the solo in "Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix. I've liked it ever since I heard it in Forrest Gump.

It's at about 1:38.

So happy that they are getting back on track and reforming the band :)

This signature makes use of various clichés and/or 'emotional' lyrics/quotes, hopefully it makes me appear deep.

Selkies (The Endless Obssession) - Between The Buried And Me

3:50 + is just amazing. The rest of the song isn't great, and niether are the band, but that solo is just intense!

There's a short solo in From First to Last's song called Populace in Two. It always gives me a happy feeling when I hear it.

My Favorite Short guitar solo is the one in Sympathy for the devil.

There is a short solo in Oasis's "Don't Look Back in Anger". It seems as if it is a transition from one part of the song to the next.
