Dave Davies the intro on the KINKS last studio album Phobia.... fuck any Dave Davies guitar solo that Ray wouldn't fuck around with in mixing. Davies took what Link Wray started and made it his sound, a sound that inspired so many.
Eddie Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" "Panama" and the band's cover of "You Really Got Me" (actually, I like Van Halen's version better thyan the KINKS only because Eddie and David Lee made it harder edged)..... I think I would have to say eddie in his prime was the best guitarist i have ever heard. So any Eddie solo is well......... second to none.
Marcella Levy from Shakespear's Sister on "Turn Your Radio On" she has a great sound to her guitar and was taught by Clapton so she can't be too bad now, can she?
Vinnie Vincent's guitar on the "Top Gun Theme" I still love that solo sounds so simple but yet so complex
I agree Slash's solo on "Sweet Child O' Mine" but also his solo on "November Rain" is just awe inspiring.
Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Good" the grandaddy of them all.
And Keith Richards' "Satisfaction" licks. Started the whole Rolling Stone sound

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
