Inspired by a recent decision to start to work on adding a couple of solos to this list, so I just figured I'd post and see where everyone else is at.

I list the solos like this:

Metallica - Master of Puppets (James Hetfield)
Metallica - Master of Puppets (Kirk Hammett)

That's about it haha. I consider myself a good/decent player, but I don't have the patience to learn solos for the most part.

Fair enough. For the most part that's how I feel myself - a lot of times I just don't see the purpose in learning them. Some of these I just picked up over time by just playing along to songs for fun (something I do a lot) - also my band has covered a bunch of these songs (we did a 50-minute Maiden tribute set as well), so some of them came from that.
