I say top 5 because it's subjective and it's technically not a solo and it's not their song, but this belongs in the top 5 of all time in terms of live solos. Prince killing it starting around the 3:30 mark.

Always loved the feel of Comfortably Numb...
yeah that is on my list somewhere
I don't even know what my #1 would be, but I saw that Prince one last night and it was one of the only ones I've seen where I had to rewind and watch it over and over.
This thread was supposed to be about guitar solos…Rock n Roll is crap…
always loved
GNR - november rain (halfway mark) I dare you not to air guitar to that piece.
Don't know that it's top 5, but Jimmy Page's solo from "Stairway" on "The Song Remains The Same" is one of my all time favorites.
A great guitar solo is its own verse within a song. The notes are their own lyrics. Something missing from a lot of rock music these days.
Maggot Brain is my all-time favorite solo. 11 minutes of every emotion (mostly sadness) that you can think of, translated through the guitar and speaking to you.
Andrés Segovia…Fandango…

thats a good one
Don't know if it's top five, but it's insanely good
the shred begins into a minute into the piece.
Adam Morrison has always been one of my favorites.
he he
Comfortably Numb
Definitely top 5 IMO.
The version on Is There Anybody Out There? will blow you away.
The truth is you can't have the best top 5 of anything. you might be able to come up with the top 10 but five? is sorta pushing it in my view.
Just look at the top 50 songs of all time they don't even mention 90% of the best bands out there. As for Guitar solos...I have a few I seem to find fascinating.
Here are just a few...
Go to 3:35 into the clip.
Almost anything from Randy Rhodes
to many to name from Iron maiden
Go to 2:20 into the clip.
Go to 1:33 into the clip
Go to 2:55 into the clip
.
It's sad Eddie Hazel lived up to his nickname, he was something special.
Maggot Brain is my all-time favorite solo. 11 minutes of every emotion (mostly sadness) that you can think of, translated through the guitar and speaking to you.
Along with Maggot Brain, this is one of my personal favorites. Excellent live recording:
I only like Live solos. I like the improvisation of them and how they just play to what they feel. I think solos on recordings are bull . The is no emotion in that, you can't just throw in a solo when you are laying down individual tracks. That is for Buckcherry and Nickelback
