best guitar solo

[3Styler]

my last question i swear...for today at least.  what do you think is the best guitar solo of all time and who's it by? personally i like van halen and satriani but only heard a few of their songs, 'ain't talkin about love' and summer song are personal favourites, i like jimi hendrix but have only heard the song called 'guitar solo' by him and so dont know if he has any better solos?

My favourite Jimi Hendrix instrumentals/solo's are 'Drone Blues', 'Easy Blues' and 'Pali Gap'. Also, I've really enjoyed solo's from Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton from Cream, Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin and Santana

well played andy hughes, managed to give a valuable answer to all 3 questions! i feel u deserve some sort of a prize but im sure you're already content in your affirmation of your awesome music taste and knowledge. can anyone else do better than the current master andy hughes?

Carlos Santana on Samba Pa Ti.

Dave Gilmour on Comfortably Numb.

[OBonio]

This could go into the Instrumental question too. Parisienne Walkways, the instrumental version has a purely heart breaking solo by Gary Moore.

Agrees with all posts above... OBonio... Parisienne Walkways! D.Gilmour, comfortably numb.... paradise city G'n'R....Joe Perry...walk this way...Hendrix...voodoo chile...tonni lommi from black sabbath with sweet leaf

 *sighs* oh how the list goes on.... there are some classics out there.... Do I have to just choose one???

Best guitar solo is the one on "Catch" by the Cure . None of this poncey fret walking rubbish, just pure amazing emotion. An amazing tune.

Think its by Perry Bamonte.
