Well, there are so many great guitar solos, and I can't even begin to recall them all right now. But some that come to mind:

"Since I've Been Loving You" - Jimmy Page

"I"m Gonna Crawl" - Jimmy Page

"No Quarter (live)" - Jimmy Page

"Pigs (Three Different Ones)" and "Confortably Numb" - David Gilmour

Oh, there's just too many... Steve Howe "Close to the Edge" "Starship Trooper"

"Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" - Hackett

"Utopia" - Todd Rundgren

"Down by the River" Neil Young

And there's more...

"The red polygon's only desire / is to get to the blue triangle."

barre: aqualung, thick as a brick, broadsword

barrett: paitbox, as good as gold, dance of the seven veils: all over now

fripp: 21st century schizoid man

gilmour: comfortably numb, cluster one, dogs, the final cut, the fletcher memorial home

hackett: after the ordeal, firth of filth

howe: starship trooper, and you and i

petrucci: everything off of An Evening With..., countless others...but in the name of god and stream of consciousness stand out

rothery: heart of lothian, script, blind curve

The Gates of Delerium

The Clap

And You and I - (Not a solo, but that steel guitar during the synth and organ solo part is very very nice, my favorite part of the song is when it is playing.)

The Ancient

Intersteller Overdrive

Careful with that Axe, Eugene - Live Ummagumma (Gilmour is the King of bending guitar notes.)

Fletcher Momorial Home

Light My Fire

Achilles Last Stand

Lizard - (At the very end of the song is a very dramatic solo from Fripp, my favorite from him.)

So many others too.
