There have been lots of discussions of what are the best solos of all time. The list includes typically some stuff from Jimi Hendrix, something from Page, SRV, etc.

But what about today's lead players and their solos? Who is out there laying down some good lead work with a good ripping solo in say the last 5 or 10 years?

Please list a couple songs/soloists if you like, and a vid or audio of the performance you are listing would be great.

I am going to hold off on mine until others post. But I know who I am going to list.


P.S. I am thinking of more traditional songs (think good ol' rock guitar screaming solos) here and not so much instrumental performances or some prog symphonic event (ducks from Spud's thrown shoe . . . ) But if you want to make a compelling case for your lead or solo, go for it.
