Top 10 Songs with Guitar Solos Longer Than 2 Minutes

The Top Ten
1 Child in Time - Deep Purple

Perfect solo. Ritchie Blackmore is a beast.

Very fast and intense

2 Hotel California - Eagles
3 Keeper of the Seven Keys - Helloween

It's very very fast

4 Powerslave - Iron Maiden
5 Story of the Blues - Gary Moore
6 Green Grass and High Tides - The Outlaws

Nice to see that some of my contributions from the "one minute" list made it here. Of course, the real credit goes to the guitarists themselves for making those solos.

7 Amazing - Aerosmith

Can we talk about how great this solo is?

8 Soothsayer - Buckethead

Only Buckethead can make a 9 minutes guitar solo

2:47-9:00 (end) and that's over 6 minutes!

9 Trouble Ain't Far Behind - Gary Moore
10 Scars of Yesterday - Dragonforce
The Contenders
11 Too Rolling Stoned - Robin Trower
12 Cast Down the Heretic - Nile

Warning: it's brutal technical death metal.
A very fast solo - if you play it at the speed of Gary Moore solos, it would be like a 20 minute solo, at least. LOL. But don't get me wrong - I love Gary Moore.

13 Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

This solo is more than 4 minutes long

Awesome solo, famous one too

14 I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know - Gary Moore

An outro solo that is about 4:40 long

15 Dry County - Bon Jovi
16 Firth of Fifth - Genesis
17 21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson

It's interrupted by the saxophone solo, so it's debatable, but the middle solo section spans over four minutes, with a saxophone solo kicking in over the guitar for approximately a minute and a half. You tell me.

18 Muffin Man - Frank Zappa
19 Trailer Trash - Modest Mouse

It's not often that indie rock features such epic moments of guitar chemistry. Took some time to grow on me, but damn that outro really is very good.

20 Dirty Women - Black Sabbath
21 Fly to the Rainbow - Scorpions
22 Rock Bottom - UFO
23 Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming - Deep Purple
24 Roisin Dubh (Black Rose): A Rock Legend - Thin Lizzy
