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.

^ Agreed, about the Zappa solos. Those records you mentioned are some with the finest guitar work he has done. "Zoot Allures" and "Black Napkins" stand out in my mind, for sure. I also love the stuff on One Size Fits All, most notably the solo on "Inca Roads"...
