That is a wonderful solo, Gary Moore was a God. The solo has got so much to it, technique, feel, emotion and great note choice. I can nominate another wonderful solo by one of my Favourite players.

Steve Rothery's solo in Easter. Solo at 2:29

I mean there’s sooooo many where do you start, yes Time, loads of Steely Dan, that Gary Moore one is ace, and a billion more.

So I’ll go for the most recent solo that had me spooling back like my 16 year old self on a tape deck. A master class of a solo that makes the song greater for it. Solo at 2:00

The playout solo on Dire Straits’ Tunnel Of Love.

I am the resurrection by the stone roses. My friends when we were 15 when it came out made a pact to leave the world to it if we had control of the moment.

Kim Thayil’s solo, Like Suicide by Soungarden. Its epic. 

fandango

Frank Zappa’s Watermelon in Easter Hay. 

‘nuff said.

^^ What he said, and also the slide guitar on In My Time of Dying

Venus Isle by Eric Johnson. Solo at 3:50. Like a Bach Fugue in the way different voices converse with each other but from the same instrument.

roberty

Surely it's one of Brian May's

November rain, first solo

That's fantastic.

Adrian Smith's beautiful solo on this. The way it builds from the clean beginning. And the way it's as much a bass solo from Steve Harris underneath. Solo begins at 3:15.
