Digital Love is a synth guitar surely?
definitely sounds like a synth emulating a guitar, and not someone physically paying a guitar or guitar-like synth.

Not sure if this counts as a guitar solo, since it probably wasn't extemporaneous, but the last minute of Liz Phair's "Red Light Fever" is very memorable.

Blake Sennett's outro solo on RK's "I Never" is beautifully melodic.

How about Steven Drodz on Powerless from the new Flaming Lips? It's really fucked up, a kind of splattery, dissonant anti-solo with piercing Pete Cosey style high register fuzz and delay shrieks.

The solo at the very beginning of The Wolf by Andrew WK makes me think of Brian May or something:

the digital love solo was programmed rather than live played i think - i remember one interview when the daft punk guys pretended to not understand why anyone would think the difference mattered, which was endearing

I feel like we may have done something along these lines but not exactly before, but it feels like a good time to do this off the back of Guitar bands who don't really do guitar solos, and the how and why of not doing guitar solos
Apollo Sunshine - "Ghost"

Hey man, I dl'd this tune and really liked it and then went to search ilx for other Apollo Sunshine references and it's pretty much just you reppin' hard for them. So I just wanted to let you know that I'll probably buy the whole album sometime later on if I have $10 to spare.

Can't believe this thread is 5 years old! I found quite a few good records from here. It's weird though, I could have sworn that someone mentioned Nowhere to Go by Friends of Dean Martinez on here.
Anyway, how about great guitar solos of the '10s?
