IMHO, Mick Ronson has multiple examples that I would call the best solos of all time. Here's one of them:

Here's another fav:

I love Peter Green, Eddie Hazel, Jimi Hendrix, Roy Buchanan ,David Lindley in Kaleidoscope and all the old Country rockers.

But this might be my favorite Les Paul solo it just blows me away the taste the development.
It is glorious. And actually to me it kinda wipes the floor with almost everyone.

One of my long time favorites is Steely Dan's "Bodhisattva". Being a self taught player... I listen to this.... and I've got NOTHING.

Back in the 80's, this guy was a welcome change in a sea of Yngwie clones.

Fantastic shout.

From the same album, the sublime invention of the solo on Boston Rag.
