Dream Theater - Fatal Tragedy.

Fookin amazing four minute long solo, with unreal sweeps, in-human shredding. And all of it has melody aswell. Truely one of the greatest solos ever!

Led Zep - Whole Lotta love.
Although that's more than likely down to the fact that I've just learned it!!

Slash's Snakepit - Serial Killer

It's a ridiculously amazing solo, and has remained my favourite since the day I heard it.

Hmmmm..... as stressed above, so many to chose from.

Off the top of my head i'd probably say:

Slash - Guns n Roses - Nightrain
John Frusciante - RHCP - I could have lied
Mark Knophler - Dire Straits - Sultans of swing
Hughy Morgan - FLC - Couldn't Get it Right

Just a few there. As you can tell, speed alone doesn't quite cut it for me. (DIE BUCKETHEAD DIE!!!!!!)

Aye gilmours 2nd solo in comfortably numb, more to do with the actual song than any particular genius in the solo, but it works so well.

Apart from that Lynyrd Skynyrd (Gary Rossington in paricular) - Free Bird .. absolutely amazing.. and hella long

Another solo that springs to mind is the outro solo to:
metallica - fade to black
One hell of a solo and it fits in so well with James' rythm guitar in the background.
