Eddie’s entire career was virtually one long guitar solo, but he seems so focused and serious on this track that it stands out for me. Everything everyone loved about him is there
The guitar tone/reverb/hyper-compression reminds me of the sound on Big Log by Robert Plant. Do you hear that, too?
Fripp and Eno on Baby's on Fire.
Michael Lee Firkins guitar work on the song "End of the Beginning" for Jason Becker's Perspective album.

Bluest Blues by Alvin Lee, 1994. Pretty late into his career. Tops anything that he did with TYA. A criminally underrated gem. However, here's the bomb: The slide solo is played by none other that George Harrison. Melancholic and then some. Same "vibe" as C-numb. I think, in hindsight, this is the best I've heard from both George and Alvin. Ever. Alvin takes the outtro fade out lead here.

Okay, since everyone is going to pick Pink Floyd, I'll go with
Of course I could pick many others more worthy, but Rothery deserves some cred. Link starts too early, but whatever YT sucks. It's the Chelsea Monday solo.
Edit: And, yes, I was a Marillion fan (Fish era only) for years. Not ashamed!
Mine is Eric Johnson’s second solo on Desert Rose, on Ah Via Musicom.
The last solo is pretty devastating, too.

That's Phil Manzanera playing with Gilmour (Snowy White has played with Waters since Floyd days, I don't think he's worked with solo Gilmour).
And here's some more Phil Manzanera, with great soulful guitar playing on the original version of Diamond Head:

No it is not all. I agree if we add Dickey
You’re right. Two solos for the price of one, but that’s what you got with the ABB back then
wow.
Early in 1970, John Cambridge came back to Hull in search of Ronson, intent upon recruiting him for a new David Bowie backing band called The Hype. He found Ronson marking out a rugby pitch, one of his duties as a Parks Department gardener for Hull City Council.

I bet you haven't heard this: BAP playing Ahn'ner Leitplank, a great outro solo from Klaus Heuser (from about 3:40).
(The song is in the Kölsch dialect spoken in the Köln / Cologne area of Germany. It's about seeing the site of an accident where somebody has been knocked down and killed. The title means something like At The Crashbarrier - the singer sees flowers left there and imagines the police and the ambulance in the middle of the night, the evidence covered with sand as if nothing has happened and the daily traffic flows on as usual.)

Crap, you're right! Should have recognized the snake on his guitar!
I stand corrected. Thanks.
