There are alot of good guitar solos. But the sound of the guitar (tone) in the solo is very important too.

Here is mine - It is a simple melody and easy to play, but it is hard to beat the tone in this solo. FF to 1:50

 
I could fill a thread with Garcia, Page or Clapton stuff but Joe walsh's The Bomber might be my favorite of all time


Here is a version from 81

 
Any decent evaluation of guitar solos must take into consideration the quintessential anti-guitar solo

 
Floods by Pantera. The solo is amazing, but the outro...the outro is life changing. :mrgreen:

 
Another entry in the annals of anti-shredding from one of my favorite guitarists

 
That is a tough call.

Jimmy Thackery:




Eric Johnson:



Danny Gatton:

 
Easy. Frank Zappa, Watermelon in Easter Hay

 
There are so many nice guitar solos

All of the solos are nice in this version of a very famous Christmas carol

 
I still like this one (I first heard this on 8-track tape in an El Camino):

 
Stevie Ray Vaughan

Texas Flood



Little Wing
 
Charlie Christian was the father of modern jazz guitar. As I recall he is self taught, a genius. He died very young at the age of 22. Here's a remarkable solo, that was recorded at Minton's in 1941

 
Well, you can't talk about guitar without mentioning the greatest blues guitarist in history, Jimi Hendrix. Indeed no one has played blues guitar as well. There have been many to borrow from his style, but none, no one, imbibed the blues and played it in the spirit of the music as well as Jimi did. This recording is kind of messed up because it is cut. But I had never seen a video of this performance. Actually, it is spooky to watch, at least to me. As far as I am concerned, I have never heard an equal to this blues guitar performance. It is a shame it is not in it's entirety. A very powerful performance indeed.

 
Need to mellow things out a bit after Jimi! :lamo

Here's some good guitar work from Earl Klugh

 
Joe Satriani has always been on my list of favorites -

 
John McLaughlin played with Miles Davis for some years where he learned how to use poly tonality effectively. Those skills are on display here

 
Pretty decent guitar solo here at about 5:20

 
And no one posted anything by Carlos Santana? Shame. The guitar solo starts at 2:40.



Here's another great guitar solo by Andrew Latimer of Camel. Starts at 5:13.
