The only guitarist who could play Hendrix as good as Hendrix.

Even more annoying are the 'reaction' videos on Youtube where...ahem
...younger folk listen for the first time & insist on yakking in the middle of a guitar solo
.Interrupting a David Gilmour solo is verging on blasphemy....
Possibly Tunnel of Love, from the album Making Movies.

Can I put in a pitch for Neil Young? People seem to like him or loathe him. Anyway, here's Like A Hurricane. The first comment on YouTube was this...….
In which Young plays the second greatest guitar solo in history, sings a bit, then plays the greatest guitar solo in history.
Yes, it's chaotic and a bit random......but utterly wonderful.

Not shredding like Randy Rhodes, has much more feeling though, Comfortably Numb second solo, not as good technically, but its better, more feeling than shredding..
Angus in the Bon Scott era, takes some beating, not the fastest guitarist, but just brilliant.. Riff Raff is awesome,

Not my usual fare, but where would Bill and Ted have been without It?

The thing about guitar solos is that you actually have to have something to express. Speed is pretty boring without some kind of a message.

It was part of the Bill and Ted soundtrack, and is played when the time travellers run amok in the shopping mall. In that context it's perfect. I don't think Nuno Bettencourt, whom is an ace axeman, was being too serious when he trotted that out.
