What is one of your most favorite guitar solos of ALL TIME

Steve Kimock's solo during It's Up To You on 12/05/98.

Gilmour's surprise solo in London at Waters' Wall Show earlier this year doesn't suck either.

If I'm going to go by what is technically the most difficult, I'd probably say something by Chet Atkins, Joe Pass, or Buckethead. Unless we're diving into the classical realm, then bach's bwv 996 prelude is the winner every time.

However, my favorite is probably some live Jimi or live Zappa, no designated song, just pure improvisation.

michael jackson - beat it

eddie van halen. classic.
 
There are so many albumes. "Games, Dames and Guitar Thangs" and "Jams From the Heart", neither of which were to the height of "Maggot Brain". MB is still to this day my number one for guitar solos.
 
My personal favorite solo would be either Randy Rhoads (Blizzard of Oz) --- "Revelation Mother Earth", or Randy's 1st solo on "Mr. Crowley". I've seen the vast majority of guitarists mentioned on this thread so far, but none can even come close to Randy except Joe Pass or Zappa. Totally different styles but all 3 are guitar Gods in their own right. There are some very interesting choices here though. I'm actually quite impressed with the diversity of styles being "favored".
