Stairway to Heaven. Never has been and never will be matched

Yes. No one can match Gilmour in absolute beautifully perfect tone of a guitar.
Comfortably Numb live 1980

Not even David Gilmour's best solo IMO.

I would put Stairway, Peg and Sultans of Swing up there.

I'd argue it's not even the best solo of the Gilmour catalog. That goes to Time IMO.

Styles are too different.
You want speed? Technicality? Tone? Blizzard of notes?
SRV Little Wing version to me is the best mix of all. He checks each box.

Comfortably Numb is definitely one of many.
Time is really good too.
Greatest of all time? Depends on who you ask.

The famous Fred Durst solo comes to mind for me.

Nothing is the greatest guitar solo of all time - haven't we already answered this

Don't know if it's the greatest but it surely in the discussion. Especially after smoking a bowl and listening to that song.

"Sultans of Swing" gets my vote

It’s one of the greatest but it’s so difficult when you consider all the genres and great guitar playing through the years.
Just Ozzy’s catalog of guitar players is amazing. Jake E. Lee in Bark At the Moon is full of emotion, technicality, amazing tone, effects, it “launches” the song into another level, and you can sing it, just like Comfortably Numb. Randy Rhoads on Mr. Crowley absolutely smokes and is also full of emotion and technicality.
Gary Moore’s Parsienne Walkway and Still Got the Blues are masterfully written.
Hotel California deserves a mention with Dirty Fingers Don Felder and Joe Walsh creating a masterpiece.
The Skynyrd Guys have some gems - Simple Man, Freebird, Needle and the Spoon with the wah wah, etc.
Who can touch SRV’s pure raw emotion, vibrato, touch, and precision? I don’t think more emotion has ever been laid down than on “Life Without You.”
Slash absolutely owns so many GNR tracks. Go back and listen to how awesome the Sweet Child of Mine solo is. Just perfect for the moment, it makes you want to punch a baby. Descending and then ascending all the way back up. November Rain is a masterpiece, and Estranged may be the best of all.
Clapton on While My Guitar Gently Weeps is always in the conversation.
EVH, Billy Gibbons, Hendrix, Brian May, Neal Schon, Duane Allman, etc
