[nathanjrb]

Anybody know of any?

Freebird - Lynard Skynard has to be up there.

Anyone got any decent suggestions?

Stairway to heaven
Wet Sand - Red hot Chili Peppers also has a pretty good solo.

after a bit more thought:
All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
Johnny Be Goode - Chuck Berry (the one that's in Back to the Future)
Knights of Cydonia - Muse
Bulls on Parade - Rage Against the Machine (Unusual solo but pretty cool all the same)
Sweet Child of Mine - Guns N' Roses
and I know it's not a guitar solo but the bassline is amazing in Hysteria - Muse

Depends on taste. Personally my favourite solos ever are:
Under a Glass Moon - Dream Theater
Lie - Dream Theater
Big Bad Moon - Joe Satriani
Tender Surrender - Steve Vai
Rhode Island Shred - Guthrie Govan

And for the more Metallic end...
Not Alone - All That Remains
The Eagle And The Snake - Ihsahn
Seven - Sacred Mother Tongue
Miles Of Machines - Jeff Loomis

I mentioned Diamond Darrell, get Cemetary Gates, his finest hour easily.

Mod? If one of you could oblige... cheers!
