Melody, yes.
But, IMO, the job of any solo—guitar or otherwise—is to bring the song to a new level. To bring it somewhere else.
Which is why THIS solo (not all that melodic OR flashy) is my favorite solo of all time.
(Not the first little slide bit, but the solo later in the song, kicking in a little bit after 2:45.)
Since it is such a part of the song, you really need to listen to the whole song to truly feel its power.
And then, when it drops out, it's just as powerful.
Incredible.
It simply brings the song to another, higher level... building upon the main riff, but intensifying it and spinning off of it to bring the listener to a place of higher consciousness.
At least, that's where it brings me.
All-time favorite.
