Incredible isn’t it ? I think that’s my number one of all time.

One of my most favourite tracks, the end solo is just so good. Can thoroughly recommend Aussie Floyd if anyone wants to experience it live.

Tedeschi Trucks Band, Midnight in Harlem. Sublime slide from Derek Trucks.

I love the drummers face, he can't quite believe he is really there.

Incredible isn’t it ? I think that’s my number one of all time.

High Hopes is another epic.

Some of my faves albeit blues biased:

The hoax - Jesse davey - dont shake my hand 7.40 in, amazing guitarist https://youtu.be/Wjk23ZQ7_5k

Robin Trower - bridge of sighs https://youtu.be/A00a8bwiTM4

Haven't read the entire thread but to change the mood a little what about the sublime and unique sound of Willie Nelson. He absolutely becomes one with 'Trigger' in 'Funny how time slips away'

Stevie Ray Vaughn sound check, where he's hungover. (Skip the first minute)

Peter Greens rendition of ‘I’ve got a good mind to give up living’ is a sure fire winner for me.

Might not be a true solo, and definitely not as fast or visually technical as the majority of the posts on here, but god damn it did this man have magic in his fingertips. Enough to get compliments from B.B.King no less.

That magic starts at 2:25, hold on tight, it gets heavy

RIP Mr G

The late, great, Gary Moore improvises some rock, blues and jazz when interviewed by Guitarist magazine some years ago:-

Go to 5:38 for a fire breathing blues blues improvisation (that sets off a car alarm ) using a rather lovely ES-335

Peter Green was a genius - my particular favourite is 'Need your love so bad'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HTUah3ivIo

Absolutely agree, another great track showcasing his ability to play with the ‘less is more’ approach

An excellent rendition, but Green's was the pinnacle.

And for something totally different again, but truly sublime flat-picking Kenneth Pattengale of The Milk Carton kids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnXHRyDSAb0

It's a shame I don't like country, because it has produced some terrifying players.

Here's Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed trading solos with all the ego of someone passing you the milk.
