Matt Freeman of Rancid (who sadly now has lung cancer) - the bass solo half way through Maxwell Murders. I've seen him do it live and he actually got through it twice in the same amount of time.

Slash from Guns 'N' Roses pulls out a number of corkers, particularly during 'November Rain' on UUI1, and 'Estranged' on UUI2

Killing Time from this Mordred album is excellent.

"Play with me" by Extreme features some great examples of Nunos guitaring prowess.

not that original i know but most Hendrix songs have awesome solos and guitar play. If you dont find yourself playing air guitar to at least one Hendrix song then ill eat my hat! (if i had one!)

Come On Part 3 - by Stevie Ray Vaughan! It just makes me wanna give up.

EVH - Eruption (a massive influence)

Also alot of stuff that Vito Bratta (remember White Lion?) did was excellent!

Most of the above esp. Comfortably Numb and also most of Frank Zappa's I'd also like to nominate

Burn - Deep Purple/Richie B
Free As A Bird - Beatles/George H
Golden Brown - Stranglers/Hugh C

Anything that Jeff Beck plays on Roger Waters' Amused To Death album springs to mind.

Damn that was my choice. Monster.

Gary Moore on 'parisienne days' - esp the live version
Jimmy Paige - Whole Lotta Love, When the Levee Breaks, (and pretty much anything by the Zep)
Angus Young on Let There be Rock (esp. Live versions)
Michael Schenker - Armed and Ready
Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
Joe Walsh - Rocky Mountain way

Too many to remember
