Favorite Petrucci Solos!

[Odysseus]

The one in Hollow Years on the Live at the Budokan dvd.  Jeez.... that one blows me away every time... 

That's an awesome one. Definitely one of my favorites. It's like the perfect limelight solo that just really makes you respect Petrucci. When Labrie announces John Petrucci's name, and during a single break in the solo he raises his hand, pointing up like, "Yeah, bitches, that's me." and goes right back to finishing a great solo and the song.

Damn right, sir! Like.... "Who's your daddy now, biatches?!!"

This poll should be multi-option.

WTF, indeed.  I figured the OP meant to leave out some of the better solos just to see what people would choose from his options, but I'm not so sure anymore.  There are a lot of his greatest ones missing.

TBOT is not in Petrucci's top 30 solos, let alone his best ever.  And it's still pretty good.

Indeed, his guitar damn near cries during that solo. LtL is just fucking amazing and that solo is no exception.

Lines In The Sand. The solo sounds so natural that it makes it perfect. No crazy shredding, only genuine emotion.

I also realized that the solo from The Killing Hand isn't here.



Incredibly underrated solo.

Agreed. Too many good ones to choose from.

I actually really like the solo from Don't Look Past Me.  It's incredibly melodic.  I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet.
