I have been playing electric for about 9 years and want to get you opinion on a good, impressive instrumental lead guitar song for a school competition.
Looking for something a little different from canon rock and satriani, but any suggestions welcome

Defiantly Sweet Child Of Mine by Guns N Roses!
How about the Godfather theme which Slash plays. It’s a really great song.

Well, if you’ve been playing for 9 years, surely you know something impressive sounding.
Well, then again, i know a guy who’s my age (18) and he’s been playing since he was 11, but he’s pretty bad. Pick something withing your skill level. Don’t go all gung-ho and try and learn a Malmsteen song and give up halfway because it’s too difficult.
But if you are good, go for Technical Difficulties
Cliffs of Dover for the win. I forget who its by though.
prolly have to say go for some Jeff Beck, instrumental guitar is kind of a passion of his, so i hope i helped out a bit.
Summer Presto by Antonio Vivaldi. It’s traditionally played on violins, but here’s a link to a performance using guitars (and yes, it’s SUMMER PRESTO, not "presto from summer" or whatever they titled it as):

I would advise against attempting it unless you’re already rather proficient with fast lead, but it’s absolutely beautiful.
