Of course! That's even better than the shredding of Pink Floyd.

Any guitar solo Jimmy Page attempted live. With a special note to all those ghastly Stairway to Heaven solos he mangled in 1977.

Anything by SRV.You can't clone or re-own Jimi. It just wont do.
Carbon copies of Hendrix are not possible. If you can't come up with your own style then who needs you?

Nay, nay, nay. SRV was one fine guitarist (and soloist). To my mind, any solo by anyone, that involves imitation of a hack saw is in poor taste. This includes Gilmour's extended Comfortably Numb, and the sawing and squawking by Eddie Van Halen, and other '80ish era guitarists.

He handled No Quarter quite nicely in 73.
