Tal Farlow - Stella By Starlight
Bruce Anderson (MX-80 Sound) - Tidal Wave
Anything by Snakefinger
Ted Nugent - Stranglehold
Pete Townsend - I Can See for Miles (Just one note - but what a note!)
Bob Quine (Richard Hell & the Voidoids) - Love Comes In Spurts
Jeff Beck - the opening riff to Over Under Sideways Down
And now for something completely different - since I always thought that in jazz trumpets were the lead guitar, I nominate Clifford Brown's solo on Cherokee!

Stevie Ray Vaughn has a long version (9:30) of Texas Flood that kills.

As some others have mentioned ....
Alex Lifeson - La Villa Strangiato
Martin Barre’ - Aqualung
David Gilmour - Money
Jimi Hendrix - Watchtower
and a guy you probably never heard of; Chris Wormer of the Charlie Daniels Band. He compiled a guitar version of “William Tell Overture” that’s on the CDB LIVE dvd that is terrific! I’ve seen him do it live twice. Also has composed a guitar version of “Flight of the Bumblebee” that I hear rocks but haven’t heard it yet. Nice guy (my teenage daughters love him as they’ve had pics taken with him twice).

“Steve Hunter, intro To Sweet Jane from Lou Reeds Rock n Roll Animal”
I swear I just listened to that. Great intro to a great song.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Crossfire I cannot believe it took to post 97 for somebody to list Stevie Ray Vaughn. I've also not seen Steve Morse mentioned. IIRC, he was 10 time guitar player of the year as listed by Guitar Magazine.
Here's one I would suggest for those blues lovers among us: Kenny Neal's Neal and Pray with Ken Johnson (RIP) on drums....those two were magical when they played together.

Yikes took 30 posts to get to Clapton. I swear he has extra joints in his fingers. IMHO Clapton on any solo is the best but hey I am from that era.

Hard for me to pick a best, I'd go with just about everybody/everything already listed but I was surprised to see that Peter Green wasn't mentioned so I'll toss him into the mix.
Might have missed it but in case they haven't been mentioned I'll also throw in early ZZ Top Billy Gibbons and Angus Young.
