I realize it wouldn't be what is traditionally thought of as "the best rock song of all time", that would mostly likely be Johny B. Goode or something by the Beatles, the Who or the Stones, but. My all-time favorite guitar song, and one I think is sadly under appreciated is Joe Walsh's Rocky Mountain way. From the fairly simple but highly effective rhythm guitar, to the slide work, into the amazing talk-box solo, back to the slide solo. The tones Mr. Walsh was able to get for that song and the change in those tones threw the song are simply amazing.

I wouldn't call it the greatest rock song of all time but Rocky Mountain Way along with Life's Been Good are the two songs that made me want to first pick up a guitar, and I still think they are two of the greatest guitar songs of all time.
