The guitar/pedal steel duet from Dire Straits Where Do You Think You're Going off the Money for Nothing (greatest hits) album is one of the most moving solos I've ever heard, but it needs to be a lot longer. The link has a version of the song, but it doesn't include the steel guitar. Still good, though.

After that, it's the solo from Comfortably Numb as recorded on the original Wall album.
 
This is one of my favorite riffs...

Yet to be bested in one bloke's opinion;

Ten Years After's "I'd Love to Change the World"
 
Garbage. You can hear playing like that in any Guitar Center on any Saturday. A bunch of pentatonic scales and fast picking. Big deal. No music; no imagination. The fact the many 16 year old kids can play like this says something about the quality.

Listen carefully to Hendrix' Band of Gypsys album, particularly Machine Gun. More than one famous guitarist has cited this one as the greatest solo of all time. Plus almost everything he did at Woodstock.

Jimmy Page - Whole Lotta Love
Ritchie Blackmore - Kentucky Woman (1968 ?), plus others from the later Machine head album
Johnny Winter - Be Careful With A Fool (1968), plus many many others
Steely Dan - various guitar players but many musical and unique solos. Peg; Kid Charlemain; Rikki...; Reelin in The Years, to name a few. A different guitarist on everyone, and they're all excellent.

i chose the gunshot one as first because they are only 17 in that video, and are producing some major sound.. what do you think?

That's it. The joint's going downhill.

Next evolution will be a gaggle of daffy females demanding a feminine hygiene section.

Sigh....
