This song is Julian's magnum opus, I love seeing fellow voidz fans in the wild. If I had to pick a favorite guitar solo it would either be this one or the one earlier in the song. Though theres lots of great ones in these comments

There are many songs but I've been listening to this daily at least 15 minutes at a low volume while meditating.

At around 2:48. I feel like this started it all, and it was improvised and live.

My daughter just told me she's tried to get me to listen to this many times, and I wouldn't pay attention until now that it's on SN.

first time i heard this played on a guitar hero by college mates, i was stupefied.

then i saw this bored-looking teenage girl playing it very well:

in retrospect, i think i bought an electric guitar because of this song. the finger training for a song like this is pretty intense, i would do drills for an hour every night around midnight. there are many hurdles to overcome, patience and dedication is paramount.

perhaps i'll get to that project again eventually, so i can learn to play freebird and thru fire & flames.

Hendrix dedicated this song to soldiers fighting in Berkeley—you know what soldiers I'm talking about—and oh yeah, the soldiers fighting in Vietnam too ... and dedicate [it] to other people that might be fighting wars too, but within themselves, not facing up to the realities.

Hendrix's 12-minute performance of "Machine Gun" for the Band of Gypsys is often lauded as his greatest....

the song opens with a Uni-Vibe-based guitar riff intended to mimic the sound of a firing machine gun. The bass and drum patterns then commence. The rather sparse lyrics, which differ in every performance, relate the point of view of a soldier fighting in war:

Maggot Brain, the entire 10 minutes. First heard when I was stoned in high school and it always brings me back to a time with less responsibility and more joy...even though the song has more sad tones about the loss of a mother.

Blackmore was always trying to cram another solo in the song... I think it's half the reason Dio and him split 😂

But when it worked it was a wild ride.

It's not really a solo but ...

Carlos do Carmo wasn't just a fado singer; he was the voice of Portugal. The Portuguese guitar, with its haunting and passionate sound, was his constant companion. The combination of his unforgettable voice and the guitar's distinctive sound created a powerful and emotional experience that could take you straight to the heart of Lisbon. Together, they left a lasting musical legacy, carrying on the tradition of fado and touching the hearts of listeners everywhere. Enjoy!

Here’s one that’s hiding in plane sight. This has to be one of the weirdest, quirkiest guitar solos in a pop tune. Trevor Rabin for my vote.
