I'm a little late to the party, but if it's a full-blown solo my list has to include Tom Verlaine's long solo on "Marquee Moon", Richard Lloyd's solo on Matthew Sweet's "Evangeline" (or maybe his solo on "I've Been Waiting"!), and Robert Quine's solos on Richard Hell's "The Blank Generation" and Lou Reed's "Waves of Fear". If it's just a little 2-measure-long guitar part that sets up a transition or something like that, I'd go for the naked chords that precede the coda of the Velvet Underground's "Rock 'n Roll" or any of a number of tiny licks that George Harrison throws in at key moments on the Magical Mystery Tour tracks (eg, the lick he plays right before the coda of "Strawberry Fields Forever").
