    That answer would depend on what musical mood I was in at the time.

    Just off the top,

    I Want You (She's So Heavy) - The Beatles, always is enjoyable.
    Gravity, live version, Mayer


    Hard to pick a third.
    Time, by Pink Floyd is one I enjoy. So many others too.
    "Soi What" by Miles Davis is another all time favorite. (not guitar, but then you did not specify guitar).


    Also, I went with my "favorites" at least on a given day, not most technically or otherwise impressive, etc.

    Guitars: Fender 60th Anniversary Std. Strat, Squier CVC Tele Hagstrom Viking Semi-hollow, Joshua beach guitar, Martin SPD-16TR Dreadnought
    Amphs: Peavey Classic 30, '61 Fender Concert
    Effects and such: Boss: DS-1, CE-5, NS-2 and RC20XL looper, Digitech Bad Monkey, Korg AX1G Multi-effects, Berhinger: TU100 tuner, PB100 Clean Boost, Line 6 Toneport UX2, Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi, DuhVoodooMan's Rabid Rodent Rat Clone, Zonkin Yellow Screamer Mk.

    love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart. . .

    Exactly, which is why my list looks like this...

    1. Miles Davis "Right Off" - One of Miles' most incredible extended solos.
    2. Tom Waits "Jockey Full of Boubon" (guitar by Marc Ribot) - This is the song that forever addicted me to Ribot's playing.
    3. Allman Brothers Band "Blue Sky" (joint solo by Duane Allman and Dickey Betts) - Two great players that created an absolutely beautiful solo that could stand alone with either player's part yet fits perfectly together as a whole.

    Honorable mention to Robert Quine's solo on Lou Reed's "Waves of Fear" and just about every solo Mick Taylor played during his time with the Stones.
