Any song that Eddie Van Halen plays on.
 
There are so many good choices here, but one I would like to add to the list:

Creeping Death by Metallica... one of those solos that suit the song from start to finish IMHO.

Another favorite of mine that I've seen in a live setting: Johnny AND Edgar Winter playing Tobacco Road in concert. Just awe inspiring :bowdown:

So many more...

Have a good one!

Absolutely love this. Tune in around the 2:25 mark for a really laidback, fuzzy jazz solo.

 
Sweet Child 'O' Mine
Bat Country
Nightmare
Buried Alive
 


Most people don't realise just how good Prince is. Check the solo half way through, mind blowing.
 
I prefer Alter Bridge’s blackbird, it is the greatest solo ever.

Steve Vai - For The Love Of God

Recorded in one take.
 
I was watching this and decided it deserved to be in this thread:



5:50 to 6:55​

Wow.

I'm a huge Beatles fan and feel George's playing is generally highly underrated, but Prince simply destroyed that song. In a wonderful way befitting of the specialness of the event itself. Even Dhani was impressed. Surely George would have said (Insert liverpool accent) "I could 'av doon with-oot the guitar toss at the end there, but damn that was good Son!"

I know it the thread is called the best guitar solos ever, and that I've already posted one, but I'm going to treat this as a really good solos thread.

Bireli Lagrene, an amazing guitarist.



We need some jazz in here amongst all the rock and whatnot. :p

Prince did an amazing job in that video. I have no idea where his guitar went after he threw it in the air.
 
Arthritis-laden, plays in pain, yet Mick Mars of Motley Crue. Wow.





2:52



2:32



And epic from 2:18.


Pretty much every Crue song has an awesome Mick mars solo.
 
AC/DC- Thunderstruck
Aerosmith- Sweet Emotion
Black Sabbath- Iron Man
Cream- Crossroads
Led Zeppelin- Heartbreaker (This one's my favorite, no doubt)
Pink Floyd- Comfortably Numb
Van Halen- Eruption
