Sweet Child O mine is in my opinion the best in the history of music. Seeing as that has already been chosen and I could list about 5000 i'll stick to just two.

So many good guitar riffs from many different genres and decades it's tough to come up with a best riff ever.
Hendrix is right up there with many great tunes. Not a huge Clapton fan but some of the songs he did on the Disraeli Gears album by Cream were amazing!!!! Jimmy Page has definitely come up with some of the best riffs ever written too. A true legend on the guitar!!!
There's loads of great modern guitarists that are mind blowing too.

I can't even start posting specific links without really thinking this through but i'll be coming back to this post when i have a few free hours to leave my contributions!!!

Here's just one that i consider a classic from one of the most gifted guitarists of the (relatively) modern era;

Youtube video


Many more to follow shortly!!!!!
