Too many to mention...

Zappa - Watermelon in Easter Hay
Iommi - A Bit of finger
Hendrix - Every single freakin' note he ever played
Beck - Just about everything he played, too
Richard Thompson - Pick any live song and really listen to it
Clapton - I absolutely live for "Have You Ever Loved A Woman?"
David Gilmour - the entirety of DSOTM

and my  favorite for last...

Roy Buchanan - Sweet Dreams
"The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limit."

There are way too many great solo's to pick one. I've thought about it for days. How do you pick one.
Howe, Hackett, Hendrix, Clapton, Gilmour, Steve Morse, Zappa, and on and on. Just too much great stuff to pick one.

Besides the 3 I mention on my profile there are honorable mentions for:
 
1. Black Light Machine - Frost* (John Mitchell)
2. Merry go-round-Flower KIngs (Roine Stolt)
3. Breaking the Spell-Pendragon (Nick Barrett)
4. Child in Time - Deep Purple (Ritchie Blackmore)
5. Rock Bottom (live) - UFO (Michael Schenker)

My three favorite guitar solos has to be:
Struggling for Freedom - Tasavallan Presidentti (Jukka Tolonen)
Aqalung - Jethro Tull (Martin Barre)
Another Brick in the wall pt. 2 (David Gilmour)

I really recomend everyone to check out Struggling for Freedom (the video on youtube got a edited version of the solo, which isn't as good the original, but last.fm and Spotify got the right version). Jukka tolonen is in my opinion the best guitar player ever to hold a guitar, all his work is amazing (especially in Tasavallan Presidentti)

I agree with Paul Gilbert's solo at 27:00 "Upon the door" from Neal Morse album "Sola scriptura"

There's other very impressive from Santana on his "Oneness" song from album "Oneness silver dreams-golden reality"

Gilmour's on Money is a personal favorite, but others that are fantastic are Howe's on Starship Trooper, Page on Stairway to Heaven, and one I've really been enjoying lately is the one in the Motorpsycho song "Bomb Proof Roll".

Jan Akkerman's solo on Hamburger Concerto ( Medium I ) Close second is Frank Marino's solo on He's Calling from Eye Of The Storm.

I just watched an interview with Ian Anderson where he says Jimmy Page was in the control room cheering Martin on during the overdub recording of the guitar solo for this track.
