We all love a bit of music sometimes.

There's no best, but this is one of my favorites and specifically from this live performance.
Love the building up/Sound/Style and mostly the emotion he puts in it.
Link jumps to the solo part, but it's better to play the whole song so you've the right feeling before it starts. Great song also.
Lindsey Buckingham
Fleetwood Mac - I m So Afraid - The Dance - 1997
In no particular order:
Clapton 'Bad Love'...well anything by Old Slow Hand really.
Buddy Guy - a genius and the man Clapton believes to be the best guitarist - full stop.
Freddie King's 'Going Down'
Johnny Winter - particularly his performance on John Lee Hooker's 'Mr Lucky' - 'Susan' is the track.
I echo the comments about Knopfler and Dave Gilmore - incredible talents.
Here's a belter although there seems to be some debate over the actual guitarist, I always assumed it was Miller Anderson but apparently not (anyone know for sure?) still it's stunning:

David Gilmour playing on the track 'Comfortably Numb' on the live version from the album Delicate Sound Of Thunder.
I always said about Gilmour that if he were to be paid by the note he would be the poorest man alive, but the notes he does play are way better than anybody else's. All the man has to do is play a note and hold it, the subtle vibrato is simply sublime. The greatest guitarist of out time. No, shut up, he just is – end of.
If you don't own the vinyl or at the very least the double CD of The Delicate Sound Of Thunder and if you haven't listened the the live version of Comfortably Numb on said album, you simply have not lived. Buy it today and crank it up nice and loud.
[...] crank it up nice and loud.
Good idea. Welcome to the forum, BTW.
