Michael Schenker`s 1995 return to UFO...'queued' for the solo. Some amazing 'guitar work' by him thru-out the entire LP 'Walk on Water'--this is 'the opener' to it.

I’m adding “Beat it” by Micheal Jackson
As the Eddie solo broke boundaries

Note: the pool table in video doesn’t have the pockets 🤔

Maybe not the best solo (solos) ever, but the first time me and my guitar playing buddy at that time heard the Outlaws "Green Grass and High Tides", we were floored! My jaw still drops whenever I hear it. Call me crazy, but that jam obviously had a lifelong impact on me.

A very good reason to call it “the best solo ever”
