    Not the actual version, but this kid does a pretty decent job on ole Steve's solo. One of my all-time favs and just shows off his blazing but simple guitar style (and this is the 70's kids!) Skip to about 1:20 - you'll get the idea, then the meat and potatoes comes in after that. I wish I could just find one of an actual Yes video.

    I can't possibly pick, but I will say the Robin Trower is my absolute favorite underrated guitarist. I will leave you with these from Bridge of Sighs:

    Yes, Big T was at his absolute best (for whatever reason) at that show/those shows.

    Those videos are both on Youtube, as is the also very good version of "Won't Get Fooled Again" he did with guitarist John Williams (the OTHER John Williams, that is).

    https://youtu.be/2t9slqL_eSw

    https://youtu.be/hSNJVjpFZDs

    The duet, for whatever reason, is edited -- the original 12" (edit:) EP on Island Records contains the whole performance.

    last night, in honor of the anniversary of his birth, we listened to Frank Zappa's "Stink Foot" at my house on the real hifi. Zappa's best guitar work was astounding; I won't claim the solo on the studio recording of Stink Foot is his best ever, but I like it a lot.

    Here's the studio version; there are live performances on YT, as well:

    https://youtu.be/D9FBQ1O5F8k

    Two more for consideration. This guy is probably one of the greatest "rock" guitarists; even other rock guitarists might say so. Not one you'd usually think of though. No real solos in the following video, but it should give some sense of his skill (besides being one of my favorite-ist songs in all of space-time):

    https://youtu.be/j0kJdrfzjAg

    We got to see him early this past spring at a tiny venue in Bethlehem, NH -- seats in the second row. He was superb. If you've never seen him perform -- see him, while he's still at it :- )

    One more: I think the guitar performance in this is wonderful -- maybe a bit "unusual", but wonderful. Again, a guitarist's guitarist.

    I was there.. saw them many times... was a big outlaws and skynrd fan back in the day.

    Hughie could sure play that strat.

    Saw them together at the Spectrum in '76...

    For me though Larry Carltons leads on Kid Charlemagne do it...IMHO the greatest guitarist that ever lived. He could shred with tone and is as pure as silk. Jazz rock fusion master of the 335.

    so many...

    The out solo of Post Toastee comes to mind.... Bolin was so adept at playing anywhere but on the beat.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7FOTBdbPN8

    and Knopfler's out solo of Telegraph Road has long been one of my favorites.

    It's all about tone and sustain to me. Here are a couple of favorites:

    Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe
    Alvin Lee - I'd Love to Change the World
    David Gilmour - Time
    Pete Haycock - Mighty Fire
    Al Di Meola - About anything he plays B)
