Joe Pass & Oscar Peterson - It Ain’t Necessarily So - It really is about how Joe flawlessly goes from solo back into rhythm with Oscar
Jimi Hendrix - Finale solo on Message To The Universe (Message to Love) off of South Saturn Delta- the way he slides into an Arabian scale is downright eerie
Not just because its devastatingly intense, but because I believe he had played a couple days before at the same festival, completely blew it due to how exhausted he was, and came back to ‘jam’ with Buddy Miles a few days later. Jimi benefited from low pressure, laid back scenarios, which allowed to his creativity to flow infinitely; this being a prime example.
Message to Love off Band of Gypsys album- use of octaves is incredible
John Lee Hooker - The intro riffs to Behind the Plow

I’m a huge fan of SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, Eddie VH, Page, but I think one of the most hardcore solos ever is in a song called “cult of personality” by Living Color. I don’t know the guitarists name but that dude just wales in that song.
That would be Vernon Reid on guitar for that song…
There are way too many great solos to list…If I just go off the top of my head, for solo as part of a song, one that stands out is Gary Moore with Phil Lynott “Out in the Fields”, kinda has it all: great build up and resolve, tricky to replicate, melodic but wild, compliments the song…

I bought “Run For Cover” back in 85 or 86, just for that song. The whole cd’s great.
George Lynch was a favorite, also. I’m not afraid to say that I liked Dokken.
Not the best, but one I really love is the (Skynyrd) Gary Rossington, Steve Gaines and Allen Collins 3 guitar attack on “That Smell”
I crank that on my IPOD when I’m getting ready to get busy and it gets me jacked.
I have watched several Pantera live videos on YouTube lately. I have always loved Dime, but watching him play and hearing the music that came out of his ax was fucking awesome.
I hate to bring up music written for a movie. But the final solo/battle in the 80s movie crossroads is probably my favorite ever. Most of it is composed and played by Steve Vai.

Blitzkrieg is cool. He is really just a shredder. Its fun to listen to when you are curious about how many notes a person can play in a given amount of time.
