I was wondering what you guy's favorite modern (within the last 5 years) guitar riff or solo is.

Some of my favs are

Intro to Killswitch Engage's "My Curse" Sounds beautiful clean,kickass distorted.

Interlude and solo to "Six" by All That Remains

Solo to "The Way It Ends" by Prototype

Intro to "Roses for the Dead" by Funeral For a Friend

It can be what you think is the most beautiful, the most badasss, whatever. From any genre.

Tell me what you guys think.
musicislife86, I just listened to Selkies: The Endless Obsession, you're right, the sweeping part in the solo is absolutely beautiful. And yeah I agree about Slow Dancing in a Burning room too.

Favorite solo that I am into right now is Selkies: The Endless Obsession by Between The Buried and Me. Pretty much any of their stuff has a catchy riff. Also, Protest The Hero, Bloodmeat has to have one of the coolest bass parts, it's like a tapping interlude. It's good to see the technical parts coming back into music.

Most beautiful, I'd have to say Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer, it's just a nice groove and everything, the intro is sounds beautiful with the reverb he has on.
