Can't pick a favorite, but watching anything by Tina S is incredible.

There are many definitions of what a guitar solo is, but I believe that this qualifies and is only one of my many favs ( crank it up!!!!!)

Tom's guitar just sings.

The Flamenco intro to the song is an inspired choice for 70s rock song.

so good they named a guitar after him

 

[TRest]

the closing solo by Mike Campbell is an all-timer and apparently improvised in the studio take.

People talk about Mark Knopfler's Dire Straits solo in "Sultans of Swing," but it's been played so much it's kind of a cliche by now. So how about one of many other incredible guitar solos. Give a listen to "Telegraph Road," which sounds like a full production with an amazing guitar in the middle of it.

One might have forgotten how good this one is. Starts at 2:40 and goes for over a minute:

Yeah my mind instantly goes to 80s metal when the subject of guitar solos comes up. So many, hard to think of which are favorites. I heard this on SiriusXM recently. Fairly hot solo for a mid tempo ballad.

Dire Straits - Mark Knopfler on lead guitar.

 

[rvwsleep]

Comfortably Numb - David Gilmour with not one but two of the greatest guitar solos in rock.

 

[Topdawg]

Spain, featuring Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin, and Al Dimeola.
Three guitarists, many solos!
