If you want a good solo you can't just name a song, it has to be a live performance, like the Star Spangled banner Woodstock '69. That song and others is below and also recieves bonus points for being played in front of a Japaneses crowd 番!
Steely Dan - Bodhistattva or Reeling in the years Clapton - Crossroads Rory Gallagher - Shadowplay Albert Lee on Dave Edmunds' sweet little lisa Neal Schon on Don't stop believin' Sir Pete Townshend on anything he's ever played on Yngwie Malmsteen - Dark Star Randy Rhodes - Crazy Train Gary Moore - Walkin' by myself Carlos Santana - She's not there Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) Oh Well Dire Straits - Sultans of swing ZZ top - Tush most things by BB King

Dont you mean Ken "when I worked at the BBC..." from Bexley? (Its like Uncle Albert talking about the bloody war
The Kinks - You've really got me Lenny Kravitz - are you gonna go my way Free - All right now or the Stealer The Doobie Brothers - China Grove Ted Nugent - Stormtrooping Rush - Spirit of Radio Dr Feelgood - She does it right Focus - Hocus Pocus
Runrig (Malcolm Hones) - Ocean road Knopfler - telegraph road (the break after "rolling river") Fleetwood mac - the chain Steve ray Vaughan - almost anything he did John Martyn - small hours Richard Thompson -1952 Vincent black lightning, hard on me (live version)0 Dwight yoakim - 1000 miles from nowhere (dunno who the guitarist was)
Love a good guitar solo. Got to add my voice to Albert Lee, Country Boy. Clapton has to be there, but for interest check out his brave stripped back solo on 'Rambling On My Mind from Mayalls 'beano' album. Jimmy Page....almost anything, seriously, almost anything. However Achilles last Stand would be too long for your purposes, so for 'blistering' try Communication Breakdown from Led Zep One, and for maturity, taste, beauty and restraint try Tea For One on Presence. All Right Now taught all of us to play Air Guitar, and Hendrix 'Watchtower' is almost unsurpassable. There are loads out there, you should dig out some Paul Rudolph from the Pink Fairies too, sadly the recordings don't do justice to them as a live beat combo.. Thin Lizzy is also a good shout. I would avoid flash pyrotechnics, and put in stuff with musical taste and merit which adds to, or comments on, the song wrapped around the solo. for that reason I think riffs don't qualify on this little enterprise. Good luck, I wouldn't dare personally, because a project like this will cause ructions.

For a bit of guitar trivia, Albert Lee lived in Canberra rd for a while.
Not a solo as such but this clip shows some of Stevie's skills and that he shouldn't wear shorts!

Why believe it or not? The man is after all known as a Jazz guitarist.
