Any solo by Neil Young live - he's so ugly that it is beautiful. He has that look of intense pain of his face, and it just flows out of him. He looks like he's channeling something from deep, deep inside that he doesn't even understand.
I'm not much of a guitar solo kind of guy... but here's another guy I'll throw out there:
Kim Thayil
The guy is weird, known for starting a song by playing it with his beard (actually he was just blowing on the strings). His picking style and note selection is crazy. Somehow it always seemed to fit the music, though. Salute to Kim Thayil!
I wonder what happened to him... he seemed to have fallen off the earth since Soundgarden broke-up.
