Adrian Belew in Born Under Punches by Talking Heads
Fripp in Baby's On Fire by Brian Eno

if it counts then I would say Maggot Brain
if not then the one in Baby's On Fire
>>
King Crimson's Fracture is one elongated guitar solo but I think it's the finest there's ever been

if not that then Zappa's Hot Rats, he's blasting it for like 5 fucking minutes and always keeps it interesting, never repeats himself

and if not that, Fripp on Scary Monsters (the song)

Gilmour would be in my top 10 for sure though

He didn't actually do all those beep bops with his guitar, right?
I mean it was fucking 1980

The very first solo in Shine on You Crazy Diamond.
It's simple but is so touching. One of most transcendental experiences I ever had with music.

>>66306289
Have you ever watch him live?

(It's not Born Under Punches, but has a similar solo)
>>
>>66306591
I know Belew better than I know my own dick, especially with King Crimson, but despite the crazy solos he does, I just can't fathom how he'd do specifically the Born Under Punches solo. Some of it sounds like a heavily modified guitar, but at other times it's so nothing alike anything I can imagine a guitar producing that it's hard to believe.

I like these.

Another solo I really enjoy comes from Ritchie Blackmore from his time with Rainbow on a song called stargazer.

I'll also nominate anything from Angus Young.
