Rockace and Roomdog already named the first ones that came to my mind, but I also like..
Pink Floyd -David Gilmour-Comfortably Numb-Live version, on the Pulse Album & his solo on "Dogs" from the Animals Album.

Man, you said a mouthful there! It was like an overloaded circuit breaker in my head just trying to access all the air-guitar solos over the years, so much info to try and sift through in a short few minutes my brain smelt like burning copper and went all mushy. It's like, "Okay, best scenes from all the movies you've seen--Go!"
But, I tried.

What rockace said. My head hurts from that. I can't access the whole database, but you know, start with carlos santana, van halen, Journey with neal schon, rush, etc.
i'm gonna have to go again with the solo in hitch a ride by boston. No, it ain't a solo, there are actually two guitars and the drummer, but damn, that song is a great guitar showcase. Right about 2:30 is when it starts and just gets great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilveF7zRsnc |
