Huge +1 for Since I Been Loving You - this is the solo that both made me want to play guitar, and also made me fully aware that I will *never* approach anything resembling what Page could do. Just breathtaking.

For me it's probably Robin Trower on "Bridge of Sighs" - the whole song is a guitar-centric tour de force, ultimately exploding into a solo that just grows naturally from the riff that the whole track centers around.

I like that, if indeed the blade was being poisoned by the squire, it would be a lovely bookend for the conversation between Arya and The Hound - "poison is a woman's weapon," etc.
