Damn, I hate these lists! :p

I probably need about a day to think about this properly, but here's an attempt:

1: David Gilmour - "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond"
2: John McLaughlin - "One Word" (yeah, all of the solos from this track - and pretty much every other solo, guitar and otherwise, on Birds of Fire)
3: John McLaughlin - "The Dance of Maya"
4: David Gilmour - "Comfortably Numb"
5: Marty Friedman - "Tornado of Souls" (hard to pick my favourite solo by Marty, though - each one on Rust In Peace, Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia is a masterpiece)
6: George Benson - "On Broadway" (live version)
7: Chris de Garmo - "The Mission"
8: Jimi Hendrix - "Voodoo Chile - Slight Return"
9: David Gilmour - "Time"
10: Gary Moore - "Still Got the Blues"
"It's all folk music... I ain't never heard no horse sing!"
- Attributed variously to Leadbelly and Louis Armstrong

If at first you don't succeed, you are obviously not Chuck Norris.
