Hmm, the best that comes to mind recently was Tony Macalpine's solo at the end of CAB, I saw him a couple nights ago, damn he was cookin. Its good to see that he's actually progressed in the last 15 years (unlike many guitarists of his day).

And although I'm still not really impresesd by his technicaly ability, I did hear a couple really cool licks in the solo section of a joe satriani song... Cool #9 I believe.
