Answer 4

I'm not a guitarist, but my Brother is a very gifted one. He's really the one that introduced me to music. One guitar solo that really moves me a lot is the solo on 'These Are The Days of Are Lives' by Queen. Brian May had so many really incredibile solos though, and I'm sure a lot of people are wondering why I chose such a short little solo, but it's really moving.

Answer 5

Won't Get Fooled Again and Teenage Wasteland by Pete Townsend and The Who
Voodoo Chile by Jimi Hendrix and / or Stevie Ray Vaughn (especially the Live in Tokyo version)
Hideaway by Jeff Healey
Sultans of Swing by Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits
Anything from Eric Clapton. Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Ry Cooder, Joe Perry, Alex Lifeson

Answer 6

some of the best solos Ive heard in the last 10 years, in my opinion, have been thrown down by Josh Homme- kyuss/ queens of the stone age...check out the solo on A Song For The Dead from the album Songs For The Deaf. He is definitely one of the most under rated guitarists around.
