Turn it up to 11 and rock out with your c*ck out.
don't know if you're into bruce, and you'll either been blown away by Tom Morello's solo or think it is awful. As a Rage fan as well as a bruce fan, tis was epic for me. Even my dad was asking "should I check out some RATM?"
Edit, it all gets nuts around 5:30
What about some fast, spikey, raucous ones
You really got me - the kinks
Whole lotta love - led zep
Taxman - The Beatles
Whole lotta Rosie - acdc
I know you said best of the best but clapton's solo on crossroads is awesome. Also maggot brain by funkadelic, only for the first two or three minutes mind.
Angus Young solos in whole gotta rosie and let there be rock.. and gone shootin is a great bluesy track.
Prince's solo is pretty good here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbtqlf_while-my-guitar-gently-weeps-prince_music#.USZC2B3OuSo
The solo on I could have lied by the RHCP is a belter too. Oh and mean streets by Van Halen:)
Oh what about Django Reinhardt? A guitar legend of the Jazz kind.
Also how about some Funkcadelic?

cheers eyerideit, I love most things guitar to be honest, in fact this post has me furiously skimming through my iPod to see if I have these tracks!
alvin lee
anything by the man tbh 😀
SRV's version of Little Wing is pretty awesome.....first time I heard it I had to stop driving at 3:40 it is just mind blowing!
Henrix's solos in All Along The Watchtower are some of my favourites.
Iron Maiden songs are full of more technical yet still nicely melodic solos.
Check out some Pat Metheny too. His album quartet is up there with my favourite guitar stuff.
.....and Charlie Christian for some of the earliest electric guitar soloing!
I'll be quiet now 😳
there,s a cd that Pat Methenay did with Jim Hall which is all very melodic jazz guitar- well worth a listen just for the version of " summertime " , or a quiet night in just by Methenay, in fact any of his stuff
Thin lizzy - little girl in bloomThe best!
Nice one Banks I haven't heard that before and I think I'm a big Lizzy fan. Is that Gary playing?
Georgia On My Mind - Martin Taylor
Simply amazing!
Zappa - Watermelon in Easterhay
Humble Pie (Frampton and Marriott) - Walk on Gilded Splinters

Agreed! No words, just a guitar singing movingly. 🙂
With regard to Neil Young, check out him playing on 'Mirror Ball' with Pearl Jam as well as '4 Way Street' live album with Crosby, Stills and Nash. 8)
I like this one
Zappa - Whats new in Baltimore
any solo by kerry king - he always get the solo out the way nice and fast and then it's back to the heavy stuff
My Daddy raised me well....
Leslie West (from Mountain)
Wishbone Ash (Anything!!!) but my fave is...
Blimey! Leslie West, there's a name from the past. Yep, got Mountain on vinyl.
Wishbone Ash - well, what can I say? Seen them a few times in the 70's and still listen to 'em. 🙂
David Rawlings on acoustic with Gillian Welch
also searching by joe satriani

Saw NY with Mirrorball at Reading in '95. Still wear the tee shirts!
One of my all-time favourite guitar solos is an obscure one in a rather unlikely place; on an Alison Moyet single, [i]Love Letters[/i]. There are two extra tracks on the CD single, [i]Ne Me Quitte Pas[/i], and [i]This House[/i], which ends with a really quite amazing, woozy solo, with lots of whammy bar note bending and echo. Sadly, the version that's on her Greatest Hits is an edited version, without the solo, which is a terrible shame.
[edit] Apparently the cd is rather rare, it's going for £22 on Amazon!
How about a bit of Ezio? Amazing live - just two blokes on two acoustic guitars.
Iron Maiden, Paschendale
Opeth , A Fair Judgement
Dream Theater, Breaking all Illusions
Dragonforce, Valley of the Damned, Fury of the Storm
Velvet Revolver, You Got No Right
Pantera, Cemetery Gates
W.A.S.P. The Idol
Ozzy Osbourne, Crazy Train
All Joe Satriani
...and how could I forget Randy Rhoads - the second solo from Mr Crowley is one of my all time favourites
and to show he wasn't just a heavy guitarist
