History lesson:

According to legend, George Clinton told Eddie Hazel during the recording session to imagine he had been told his mother was dead, then for the second half of the song finding out it wasn't true. The result was the 10-minute guitar solo for which Hazel is most fondly remembered by many music critics and fans.
Though several other musicians began the track playing, Clinton soon realized the power of Hazel's solo and faded them out so that the focus would be on Hazel's guitar. Critics have described the solo as "lengthy, mind-melting" and the ending as "an emotional apocalypse of sound."
The entire track was recorded in one take.

i saw dinosaur jr here in vancouver a number of years back, they were great! they also had been making a music video near whistler.
guitar "solos" are way overrated....great guitarists fit nicely into great bands. the best guitarist I've seen live is Stephen Malkmus

just the opposite.....the brilliance that was Hendrix, that was Joplin that was almost any artist you care to mention
came with some baggage.......and that baggage was often some mind altering substances.
Now I am not the one to say if one goes hand in hand with the other but there are a lot of
coincidental experiences if you will........
I'm no mathematician, I'm not going to solve a puzzle for you
but I have other things that I can contribute......
If I have to say more, then I speaking to the wrong person
I'm just busting your beans limitles, obv most of the geniuses in art lived on the fringes of consciousness

Mr. Scary is the solo king imo. Not only do his solos shred but they also fit the melody of the song perfectly.

So many to choose from, and this is just talking rock guitarists,
Anythnig Hendrix, but most notably Voodoo Child
Anything Pete Townshend but most notably Baba O'Reilly
And anything by Tom Morello, Slash, Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Duane Allman, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Dickey Betts, and Alex Lifeson from Rush, as well as a slew of others also need to be mentioned.
Oh, I also have to mention this song (the only Pantera song I like):
