It's definitely good, 2 of my favorites are Steely Dan's Kid
Charlemagne and Toto's Roseanna.

Television- Marquee Moon

Probably my favorite solo ever, but Comfortably Numb is great and I wouldn’t fault anyone for choosing it.

This “Comfortably Numb” live performance in England from 2006 is my favorite all time guitar solo. It starts at the 4:30 mark and rips for over 3 minutes. Literally gives me chills.

Comfortably Numb - 2006

I’ve always thought the solo in The Unforgiven (Metallica). Was really well done and fit the song great

I don't subscribe to the notion that any musician, song, or solo can be ranked as "the greatest," since most of us enjoy the incredible creativity expressed by a wide variety of musicians, so I'll just mention two of my favorite solos that I know no one else is going to mention...

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Tightrope

Steve Howe - To Be Over

Not sure how anyone can determine the best guitar solo because it’s too subjective, that said Ritchie Blackmore’s dazzling solo on Lazy from the Machine Head album is pretty solid.

I love Gilmour so much but this is untouchable.
