Warren C. and McLaughlin for starters.
Duane Allman’s solo on Boz Scaggs -Loan Me A Dime. I believe he was only 21 at the time.
Anything by Trey Anastasio. Easily the best in the world.

alpha, you are brilliant. Eric Johnson and Jeff Beck are two of my favorites.
Wisztrock's "Act so tough" guitar solo starts at 0:28. Supposed to be the best.
One of my favorites. also in the running for best piano solo.
Lindsey Buckingham
Anyone ever hear Juanita Banana by The Peels?

entertaining
A better video version
I love listening to guitar.
For me, Knopfler’s playing on Telegraph Road always brings me to a different place.
Then 15-year old Vincenzo Bernardo.
Great all the way through, but some cool stuff beginning at 3:11. Insanity beings at 4:13. All of his stuff is great.
Hendrix is the best
but great player you probably don't know
Hard to beat Buckethead in his prime. I could watch this video every day.
Best guitar solo:
"Where Were You" by Journey. A soaring masterpiece.
