I'd completely forgotten about The Bluest Blues
Two completely different offerings tonight, both 100% solos.
Eruption (Original Recording) by EVH 1978 FFS! Years ahead of time!
Simon Dinnigan plays J.S. Bach's BWV1001 Dinnigan performs rarely, but compared to John Williams or Julian Bream, his clarity, technique, and feel is astonishing.

The pleasures of YouTube! So many videos - we couldn't have dreamed of such riches in the 70's.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGV3yV9q4Q4
I hadn't seen that clip before. Fantastic. He was an amazing artist - rewarding and (sometimes) frustrating.
I've got so many I could chose from, dimebag is my biggest influence with guitarists but there's an album that's slightly different that stands out to me for this thread.
Roadrunner United. Basically roadrunner records got a bunch of their artists to compose a full album, each song having parts by folk from different bands etc.
The clips on YouTube aren't great and some of the songs are pretty cheesy but these always stick in my head and the album hasn't ever left any of my play lists since it was released:

The last one stands out to me as I'm a huge trivium fan and I absolutely love Corey's style of playing, & matt was the captain for that one and composed the entire song when he was 19 iirc.

So many good ones.
for me, this is somewhere near the top, especially as I was there when it happened and I'm contributing to the crowd noise

Then we come to the ultimate master... Joe Satriani, so many gob smacking tracks to choose from, Surfing with the Alien,
Back to shalla-bal, Summer Song, Psycho Monkey, Crystal Planet, the list goes on and on, but the one track that stands
above most from him is the astounding, Flying in a blue dream. If you are into guitar music and never heard this,
its well worth a listen, If I had to choose the last ever guitar track I could hear it would be this masterpiece.....

This is a pretty outstanding solo comprising lots of finger taps, slides, hammer on, pull offs and generally fine playing by a highly underrated guitarist of his era.
https://youtu.be/x7i9dI1Wsrk
Solo starts at 02:15 in.
Also, this being the finest lead break ever composed in the history of music ever...
https://youtu.be/eHKG7EMxWW8
The main break starts at 04:28 .. sit back, close your eyes and enjoy.
Edited to add that this particular performance is also the finest ever delivery of this composition.

My favourite Vai performance is probably this one of Tender Surrender. And by "performance", I include the smug hair-sweeps. fk you too Steve Vai.

But in terms of face-melting sheer awesomeness, I think Hendrix' performance of Machine Gun with Band of Gypsies Live at the Filmore East takes it for me. I played this to death with headphones long before I ever saw a video of it and think it all looks rather too sedate considering the sonic apocalypse he's producing. Brilliant.
Put your headphones on and turn the lights off for this one:

AIUI, this solo was scripted originally by Gary Moore but this live version by John Sykes is majestic (solo starts @ 3:15):-

I don't understand why so many in the audience would be concentrating on filming with a phone instead of lapping up such a performance. Particularly as the resulting 'home movie' will undoubtedly be rubbish.

As a sonic experience i still rate Hendrix over this, but as a "the to be in that audience" moment it would be unreal- a total sensual overload:

I am not going to put a name on this. I suggest listening to it first eyes closed and then wondering whether Orianthi or Nita Strauss has done anything better. Then look at the name and think "who?"
Then look up the rest of the back catalogue
