Pink Floyd, which surprises me as I don't particularly care for them much.

I think that the Hotel California guitar solo is the epitome of classic rock.

With that said, David Gilmour may be the greatest guitar player ever.

I've always loved David Gilmour's hand in music. Instead of speeding thru a solo or making it so loud, he chose melody over quantity.

They are both absolute greats.

The solo from "money" by Pink Floyd was flat out rocking! And pretty much every Stevie Ray Vaughn song has a great solo drinker

besides for best classic rock guitar solo you have to go a long ways to beat Eddie Van Halen with "Eruption"

Pink Floyd

"Mother" as well...one of the best songs ever written. Lyrically and musically.
