What song's guitar solo should I use for my audition?

Hi. I am currently going to School Of Rock, which is a music program. I am trying to get into the top tier band that represents the school (house band), but I need to audition with at the most 1 minute of a guitar solo from a song of my choice. I need an impressive guitar solo that I could learn in a month. I have to play two songs, the first one being a part of a classic rock song from one of the bands that they provided, and the second being 1 minute of a song of your choice. I picked Crazy on You by Heart for the first one. Thanks.

While not very flamboyant, the first solo on Bold As Love (1:46-2:46) can be really impressive when played soulfully.

If by impressive you mean shreddy, do Crazy train

I can play Crazy Train very well so i'll most likely go with that one. Thanks for the reply

The solo from "Proud Mary" is fun and pretty easy, but has universal appeal. You can learn it without a lot trouble from Youtube vids. Good luck.
