Hi Judah,
Ah ... "best guitar solos" is always good for some mileage! ;-)
[Personally, I thought Stevie Ray's 'Texas Flood' and 'Pride and Joy'
were his best.]
But I have to give my 'best solo' vote to Steve Vai ... brought in as
"stunt guitar" by Frank Zappa (a mean guitarist in his own right!) ...
on a song called [unfortunately] "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace".
{Gee - I wonder why it didn't get much radio play?}
First time I heard it - Steve was well into the solo before I realized
it WAS a guitar! Outrageous! ... I had to go out and buy a "Best of
Frank" disc - just to get a copy.

For blues I have too many favorites ... mainly depending on my mood.
Maybe some Robbin Ford if it's quiet so I can appreciate the subtle
technical work. Duke Robillard if I feel like some 'jump-back blues'.
How about Jeff Healey's cover of 'Hideaway' on the "See the Light" album
for more of a Chicago-blues feel? Maybe some classic Johnnie Winters if
I'm feeling rowdy ....

Ok, I have to dispute that Things I Used to Do is the most amazing blues
guitar solo on record. I would have to give that nod to his version of
Little Wing on Sky Is Crying. That solo has everything imaginable that
a
guitar can do. And it all works together.
