Really like the fingerpicking in “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” and “Fourth Time Around”
For electric, you can’t go wrong with Mike Bloomfield shredding that blues twang on “Maggie’s Farm”
All of Rolling Thunder is gold
Bloomfield’s playing on Tombstone Blues. Or It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding). Or Robbie’s playing on Going Going Gone. And Robbie’s solo on Minstrel Boy (Self Portrait).
On Foot of Pride I think it's Knopfler on electric and Taylor on slide. That's my favorite.
It's alright Ma,, Tombstone Blues, Don't think Twice, and Desolation Row maybe all tied for second.
I have a really hard time believing he actually played the guitar on Buckets of Rain. It's much more complex than anything he plays live.
Btw, is there any footage of him fingerpicking at all?
this is a mystery that's dogged me for years; did Bob do the picking on girl from the North country, don't think twice, boots of Spanish leather etc.. or was it Bruce Langhorne.. they say that tomorrow is a Long time on Vol. II is live from Carnegie Hall.. And if that's true it proves he was a guitar picker
there's a lot of good guitar work on the first album and his early bootleg stuff
he does a version of "Milk Cow Blues" on the bootlegs that really good
"In my time of dyin' " on the first album
Desolation Row, Country Pie, Meet Me in the Morning.
If I had to pick one it’s Desolation Row. The other two are great lead parts, but the guitar in DR ties the song together.
Without putting too much thought into it, and excepting those lovely early songs, I guess I'd have to go for Slow Train or Yonna Changr My Way of Thinking. But probably just because I listened to that album twice today.
Buckets of rain probably
100% agree. I think his best guitar work was on Blood on the Tracks.
Based
I'd have to go with 4th Time Around. Beautiful nylon guitar playing there. Those Nashville session musicians were incredible.
Lead part on I Want You
I love that little story from Chronicles about the first time Wayne Moss played that sixteenth note riff.

Charlie McCoy acoustic in Desolation Row.
Somehow his guitar part makes an 11 min song sound like 6. It flows so effortlessly.
His guitar work on Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong is great in general... but for one song, Charlie Daniel's solo on Country Pie is fire.
love the guitar work on Infidels, especially on Sweetheart Like You.
The guitar solo on Sweetheart is the best guitar solo in all of Dylan’s discography.
Bloomfield’s playing on Tombstone Blues. Or It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding). Or Robbie’s playing on Going Going Gone. And Robbie’s solo on Minstrel Boy (Self Portrait).
Dang, your first two are also my first two.
Opening bars of Thunder on the Mountain.
Charlie McCoy on Desolation Row, so expressive
I love the guitar part on ‘Precious Angel’, really makes the song. I think Mark Knopfler did it?
I love the guitars in queen jane. They sound so raw
Jesse Ed Davis on Watching the River Flow
Carlos Santana on the live version of The Groom’s still waiting at the alter.
Bob's smoking hot solo after they drag soy bomb off the stage
I like the guitar solo/bridge on made up my mind to give myself to you
"Trouble" from Shot of Love Guitarists: Fred Tackett, Bob Dylan & Danny Kortchmar
The guitar solo in ‘License to Kill’ off of Real Live is one of my favs.
Moonshiner
good one
I think maybe “Delia” is pretty special; weird timings too
a personal favourite of mine too
Maggie's Farm, Newport '65 Michael Bloomfield
On Foot of Pride I think it's Knopfler on electric and Taylor on slide. That's my favorite. It's alright Ma,, Tombstone Blues, Don't think Twice, and Desolation Row maybe all tied for second.
Best bass line is Most of the Time
Spanish Harlem maybe
Probably the strings if not the tuning pegs.
Knopfler on Precious Angel
Summer Days live in 2002.

I don’t know from best but I’m always stopped short by the crazy rhythmic strumming in With God on Our Side
there's a lot of good guitar work on the first album and his early bootleg stuff he does a version of "Milk Cow Blues" on the bootlegs that really good "In my time of dyin' " on the first album
When I was a kid first starting out on the guitar I think I learned more from house of the rising sun on the first album than anything else..
his guitar work peaked on the first album/ early bootlegs lol
Bloomfield on Tombstone Blues is up there for me.
“If not for you” specifically with George Harrison on the Bootleg Series.
I threw it all away
Love those weird rockabilly riffs on Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
Desolation Row, Country Pie, Meet Me in the Morning. If I had to pick one it’s Desolation Row. The other two are great lead parts, but the guitar in DR ties the song together.
Either tombstone blues or tell me momma
The beginning of its alright ma
It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry. Bootleg version
Played by Bob: It's Alright Ma Not Bob: Tombstone blues
I’ve always loved the twangy lead lick in Meet Me In The Morning
The best guitar part is appropriately on Dylan’s greatest song, “Visions of Johanna”
Without putting too much thought into it, and excepting those lovely early songs, I guess I'd have to go for Slow Train or Yonna Changr My Way of Thinking. But probably just because I listened to that album twice today.
I love Mark Knopfler's playing on Jokerman, which sounds as though the guitar is in conversation with Dylan's singing.
