This is the best guitar solo of all time.
Steve Vai was recuperating with his right arm in a sling after shoulder surgery. He also had thumb surgery around the same time and his left thumb was bandaged. Unable to sit still and not play guitar, he composed and performed this nearly 5 1/2 minute guitar solo, playing with ONE HAND!

Re: This is the best guitar solo of all time.
Here is a great interview of Vai from one of my favourite YouTube guitar and music channels.

There there, Mr. Grumpypants. Turn that frown upside down, bro. Vai's solo is virtuosic and Paganini-like, with a killer, ultra-modern electric rock guitar tone. His technique no doubt would get applause from the legendary legato technique master himself, Allan Holdsworth. Who in the world could play a one-hand solo better? Um, no one!

See? Here is a good contrast. Steve Jones isn't even in the same league as Vai. Posting this just makes Vai that much more of a stand-out.

Here's a friendly tip from a fellow guitar player: play with a light touch and a thin pick. When fretting a note, you only need to press the string enough to make contact with the fret wire. If you press hard enough for the string to touch the wood fretboard, then you're pressing too hard. A string pressed that hard will be slightly out of tune, too. It's about finesse, not power.
