The Who - The Rock - Quadrophenia

Note the guitar solo at 4:42, simple yet powerfully soulful ... Pete Townshend knows how to wrest every note from a guitar, that is until he smashes the damn thing! /lol

[Kickass Conservative]

Albert Lee, he’s a picker... Country Boy is killer.

[Lancey Howard]

Jimi
Pali Gap
Villanova Junction (Woodstock “instrumental solo”)
Anything from ‘Hendrix in the West’ and ‘Band of Gypsys’

Hendrix said that Woodstock was the best he ever played.

After Hendrix there’s a ton of great guitar songs.
Try Cream’s ‘Crossroads’.
Anything from ‘Tightly Knit’ by Climax Blues Band.

Etc., etc., etc....

[Mr_Moonlight]

Well, there is this world famous one, from the world famous Nigel Tufnel:

Nigel Shreds

But seriously though, nothing can match legend BB King and hot-shot Gary Moore in this clip:

BB King & Gary Moore - The Thrill is Gone

Gary shows off and plays clouds and clouds of gnat notes, while BB just sits back and laughs, until his moment comes, where BB simply screams SOUL with only one or two or four notes ... gotta love thems Blues :)

[FredZarguna]

The Allman Brother's Band Live at The Fillmore East or the re-mastered The Fillmore Concerts not only is the greatest live album ever recorded, but has the greatest guitar solos during In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, and Whipping Post, and the greatest pair of dual-leads -- Duane Allman and Dickie Betts -- playing off each other that you will ever hear.

[Porterville]

The underrated Brian Setzer

[Porterville]

The question for everybody is:

[rottndog]

Buckethead...(click the pic)

[Scothia]

Lindsey Buckingham. Phil Keaggy. ‘nuff said.

[texas booster]

Take a look at one of the Internet radio stations that selects music based on its music genome.

I use http://www.pandora.com and have created music channels with Eva Cassidy (great vocals) and Phil Keaggy (fantastic guitars).

The station starts off with an artist you name, and then you “tune” the playlist by voting yea or nay on music selections.

It has allowed me to hear lots of artists that are new or not mainstream.

Well worth recommending to spread your CD collection.

[Wierzbowski]

Dave Gilmour - Comfortably Numb

Randy Rhoads - Crazy Train

Vernon Reid - Cult of Personality

[mustangmike99]

My all time favorite and trust me it was very hard to choose just one is Larry Carlton playing with Steely Dan doing the title cut from the “Kid Charlemagne” album.
