I don't care if Lynyrd Skynyrd has 50 guitarist. The end of Free Bird is awesome part in music history. Just because Skynyrd doesn't have to overdubb there stuff a million times because they have 3 guitarist, doesn't mean it isn't a guitar solo. David Gilmoure has 3 or 4 solos at the time, so does Free Bird, no difference. Most solos have another guitar part. Take Don't Cry by Guns n' Roses. There's a guy playing power chords during the solo. Does that make it any less of a solo. NO, it doesn't. Jimmy Page was one of the fathers of recording over guitar parts, that's why it is so hard to play Zeppelin stuff. But he still put a cool solo in his songs. Lynyrd Skynyrd should get the respect they deserve. Free Bird has an awesome solo.
