Jeff Beck 'cause we ended as lovers' speaks to me.
Here's one with him and Tal Wilkenfeld on bass.

That's the exact song I thought of and went searching the yube for it. We may have even been watching it at the same time.
Decided it wasn't a "solo".
Loved it anyway.

He is a master. Nobody else can make a guitar sound like that. And SHE is my dream come true...

I need to mention Tommy Bolin. Filling Ritchie Blackmore's shoes is must have been one of the most ingrate position in the business, but his work on Come Taste the Band is brilliant - and tasteful. By comparison w/ his previous work and the stuff he did w/ Billy Cobham, he stepped back a little and underplayed, but every single note he plays is essential.

Admittedly I'm biased, but one of my favourite solos of all time is Grant's monster lead work in THIS
 
Tasteful for sure, and simply perfect in the context of the song

Hi,

A couple of them ... not sure if you all have heard these ... but here goes.

Michael Karoli - CAN - Mother Sky (the whole thing is a guitar solo rip!)

John Weinzierl - AMON DUUL 2 - Yeti (Unbelievable guitar work from start to finish and it was an improvisation!)

Mr. Gurley - Balls and Chain - Along with Janis Joplin, in what likely was the song that taught everyone else to rip it loud and baddddddd!!! (from the Cheap Thrills album)

Funkadelics - Maggot Brain. Needs no words or explanations. Later there were a couple of versions that had 2 guitars that were also magnificent.

Gong - YOU - Master Builder and a Sprinkling of Flowers. Duets between Steve Hillage and Daevid Allen are fabulous.

Garry Moore - first solo album. SPIRIT. Most insane and crazy rock'n'roll solo EVER ... Strummy won't even talk about it! Probably jealous!

David Allen (not the same) - CARMEN - The Gypsies. The guitar solo is laden with Spanish guitar riffs for an awesome combination.

Djam Karet ... if I can figure out which Gayle Ebbett solo I like better, I will let you know. It would be in "Suspension and Replacement" or "Burning the Hard City".

Frank Zappa - His best solos are NOT on record ... they are still buried. He used to warm up with the guitar non-stop and it might go through 3 or 4 songs together, which would create a different tapestry of sound ... those "collages" have never been released and are much more profound musically than a lot of his material too much of which had to satisfy the thirst of a rock-idol audience.

Terje Rypdal - Any of the cuts from EOS, other than the first one (you've been warned!) are incredible. The ultimate chamber music for an electric guitar and bass that no one has the desire to hear. Jeff Beck and many other guitarists stole this atmospheric style 20 years later ... makes Jeff a genius, but Terje? ... an **** because Moshpit mentions it to the Coffee House!
