Best Rock Guitar Solos

I recently saw a question asking what was the best guitar solo. I pondered for a minute and thought to myself that would be an impossible question to answer. There are so many guitar solos that I enjoy that picking out one would be a daunting task.

Instead I decided to narrow it down to ten. Even that became troublesome, so below I have listed eleven of my favorite guitar solos. Even though I made the decision I will continue to ponder if there are not better solos that I should have included.

Since it is such a difficult decision I ask for your input also.

What is your favorite guitar solo?

I have tried to add videos with live footage. The Steve Vai video is much better then a live performance.

I also could not find a quality version of Black Sabbath, Wicked World. I put up the track from the album only.

There are so many influential guitarists to choose from. There are numerous leads that could be considered for a list like this.

There are many songs which have leads that are just as good if not better then the ones I have listed here.

I hope you enjoy the videos and maybe you can find something that you have never heard before.

These were also picked from the Rock Genre. Perhaps I will be inspired to add some hubs with solos from other musical styles.
