    sorry to be a bit of a music nerd but.....
    guitars were originally used for playing whole pieces of music (like lute suites etc) which involed bass, chordal and melody parts played together, ie 3in1 to make the piece.
    It was much later on in the twentieth century that guitar players tried to emulate instruments like saxaphones which could only play one note at a time. Single note soloing was born.

    So really saying what's the best guitar solo is kinda pointless. The real question should be what's the best instrumental solo?
