    about 1.30 in. What more do you need?

    But if you want something a bit more mellow

    If you were looking for something else - acoustic, then Jim Cregan has played 2 decent ones:

    Cockney Rebel - come up and see me
    Rod Stewart - I was only joking

    Excellent guitar playing, whatever your view on the songs as a whole.

    Not everyone's cup of tea, but sometimes less is more, and about the feel.

    From about 2.27 in this bundle of laughs of a song.

    Jack White usually gives himself a good 2 minutes for a solo in the middle.

    ?

    The White Stripes were an American rock duo, formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The group consisted of drummer Meg White and songwriter Jack White. Meg and Jack White were previously married to each other, but are now divorced.

    Have I been whooshed ?

    Eric Bell on Thin Lizzys 'The Hero and The Madman' from the album Vagabonds of The Western World. The solo comes towards the end of the track.
    There's a story that Bell was more or less out of it at the time and thought that he was being referred to as the madman in the song. Cue violent guitar solo.....

    Eric Bell, a blast from the past .. forgot all about him .. the solo on Whiskey in the Jar is pretty damned good as well

    For me - gotta be Neil Young. Like a Hurricane or Cortez the Killer. Amazing. Should have been at the O2 tonight watching him right now....only found out today that it was cancelled cos the band's guitarist has broke his wrist!

    I really like Neil Youngs guitar work as well.....he's one of the few that can do a really long solo and keep it interesting.

    I was going to suggest Telegraph Road - classic guitar work.

    Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (the second/outro solo). I don't give a shit how commercial it is, it still rules
    Metallica - The Shortest Straw. Still convinced it's the best, most criminally overlooked metal solo ever
    Prince - Bambi. Funkfuckingtastic
    Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways. Spine-tingling
    Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love. You know the bit I mean. When that guitar squeals in..... FUUUUUCK.

    Jeff Beck, guitar solo version of Brian Wilson's "Surfs Up"

    Well there are a million but here are a few suggestions:

    Joe Bonamassa - Mountain Time from "Live from nowhere particular" In fact Joe may very well be the best soloist playing now
    Clapton Five long years "From the cradle"
    Paul Kossof "Come together in the morning"
    Peter Green "Need your love so bad" US version
    Dave Gilmour "Comfortably Numb"
    Richie Blackmore "Highway Star" from "Live in Japan"
    Jimmy Page "Dazed and Confused" Led Zepp 1
    Glen Felder "Hotel California"
    Jimi Hendrix "Red House" (everyone has had Watchtower so I'll throw this in)
    Mark Knopfler "Telegraph Road"
    Jeff Beck "Drown in my own tears" Jools Hollands more friends album
    Brian May "Bohemian Rhapsody"
    Slash "Sweet Child of Mine"

    Can I also say that some great unsung players have already been mentioned Richard Thompson for one and Guthrie Govan. Personally I don't particularly like the pyrotechnic stuff like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani to me it starts to look like a novelty act and not what great soloing is about as it has no real "soul" don't kill me for that it's just an opinion.
