Best Rock Guitar Solo Ever
David Gilmour, Pink Floyd--Comfortably Numb

Note-for-note, Neil Young on Cinnamon Girl.

Re: Best Rock Guitar Solo Ever
Here's a rather comprehensive list we used to help jog our memories:

Appears to agree with Mac re: Gilmour on "Numb". Looks like he (and Neil Young) get several more nods on it. Surprised to see Jimmy Page on "Whole Lotta Love" so far down the list.

Re: Best Rock Guitar Solo Ever
Great list, Admin.
Looks like I'm not alone.
I would have put Mark Knoffler higher up the list though.
The first time I heard Sultans of Swing I distinctly recall thinking, "Damn! Who the hell ARE these guys????"
Second place goes to Stevie Ray Vaughn--Little Wing.
IMHO

Elliot Randall's extended, pretty much all over the song, solo on Steely Dan's Reelin' in the Years. To this day, I still listen to it about once a week. It's guitar virtuosity at it's very best.

I could watch Sonny Landreth play the guitar for days....even Clapton said he was amazing. Though Clapton in concert was pretty cool.

Re: Best Rock Guitar Solo Ever
One of my favorites that didn't make the list at all: Lindsey Buckingham, Big Love. -Maybe it's not worthy, but I like it.
