  So many I really like this one by someone not that famous but it is a marvelous rendition of a great song.
  
  If you have never seen this and like guitar you really need to watch this.

  Kirk Hammett from Metallica - One & Fade To Black
• David St. Hubbins

  

  Siege Engine by Buckethead

  Also all his Aunt Suzie songs - Soothsayer, Sail on Soothsayer and Aunt Suzie are awesome
  
  I love Metallica, definitely my favorite metal band, but I would say Kirk is somewhat overrated as far as guitarists go. If you play guitar, he does a lot of bs stuff in his solos, and there's not a whole lot left if you took away his whammy bar and wah pedal. James is hands down a better guitarist, he plays a lot of their better solos, and writes some of Kirks. They're both awesome though.

  Glad to see at least one person mention Eddie Hazel.
  
  Great, great player, who just got too messed up to really do much with his ability.
  
  But, his solo album is an underrated gem. I found it on vinyl for cheaper than what it usually is, and didn't think twice about throwing the money down for it.

  Greatest guitar solo of ALL TIME....Hands down is at the end of Hotel California.
  
  Which is also my ring tone.
• visionquest

  1. Randy Rhoads at the end of "mr. crowley"
  2. Slash at the end of "nighttrain"
  3. Marty Friedman and Dave Mustaine in "hangar 18"
  4. Joe Satriani-"flying in a blue dream"
  5. Stevie Ray Vaughn-"to the last drop"

  all excellant

  WNCX in Cleve plays it every Saturday at midnight-- they edit the line "or drown in my own shit" to "or drown in the FCC regulations." Pretty funny, but wrecks a good song

  Vernon Reid from Living Colour is very underrated! One of the best out there!

  Especially Satriani! Supposedly when he was a bout 14 and he heard Hendrix died, it was then that he decided to become a guitarist. He also used to teach the guitar and his two most famous students were,
  Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett, so the guy definetly knows what he is doing!
• Blitzkrieg

  Another one I loved - Hotel California - Eagles.
  Have to also give props to Chuck Berry for Johnny B Goode
• iref iump

  Ted Nugent Stranglehold, then segueing right into Stormtroopin' is some of the best.
• Falcon 1

  How about the funkadelics with maggot brain

  Randy Rhoades......Crazy Train

  If you can teach Kirk Hammett, then you must be a hell of a guitarist.
