First and Foremost, anything by Buck Dharma, most specifically in ETI and Perfect Water.
Many things by Zappa. The Solo in Cozmic Debris is most excellent. Great extended solos in The Torture never Stops and My Guitar Wants to Kill your Mama. (Kudos also for the best ever name for a song length solo: Orrin Hatch on Skis) Also, excellent blues fills in Road Ladies and Po-Jama People.
Mark Knopfler: Brothers in Arms and Once Upon A Time In The West
And one more that will very likely not be mentioned: Marc Ribot - Black Market Baby (Off Tom Waits' Mule Variations.)
Second the Intro to Sweet Jane, and anything by Jimi, SRV, and Dave Gilmour. (And though the lyics are weak solo, the guitar is Still fantastic.)
I'm not even going to get into Jazz or that rock/jazz junction where Satch and Steve Vai hang out.
