One from left field here but trust me -
Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. Eddie Hazel was told to play like his mother had just died and what he came up with was incredible.

Not really left-field: it does have a longstanding rep but it is one of the great extended solos.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Elliott Randall's guitar solo in Reelin' In The Years. Wow, I thought was accepted as one greatest of all time.

It is.

Goodbye to love. The carpenters

Not bad for a "middle of the road" group.

 

[Bill Walker]

Those twats made a career of that one fucking song

and Bowie sang it better :)

I think we need a bit of slide guitar on this thread - solo starts about 4 mins in.

Less of the mott hate please, David Bowie would agree regarding a certain mr ronson.

Read that back to meself, sounds a bit arsey, wasn’t meant to be:)

Voodoo Child by lots of artists - I like this version from Kenny Wayne - he is class live

I could pick many but this takes some beating
