Eddie Hazel - Good thoughts, bad thoughts.
John Frusciante - My Lovely man
Prince - Purple Rain
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing

Dave Navarro - Shallowed be thy game
Eddie Hazel - We three
Mike Hampton - (Not Just) Knee Deep
Dewayne "Blackbird" McKnight - Dog Star (Fly On)
Frank Zappa - Black Napkins
Prince - Family Name
Mike Hampton - Maggot Brain (from Kidd Funkadelic live in Sanfrancisco - scarily close to Eddie Hazel's original)

Computer Blue - Prince
Call the law - Prince
Youngstown (live) - Springsteen (solo:N Lofgren)
Satisfied (live) - Ian Moore Band
I'm easy - david Lee Roth (solo: S Vai)

pffff,I quit!Once you start writing down great solos,you just can't stop...
Prince had more than one great solo,so did SRV,steve Vai and many others of these great guitar players...It's too hard to chose..
