Guiatrist: Richard Thompson

Solo: Clapton/Allman, "Layla."
 
Jimi

Bold as Love

Probably not his most technically difficult solo, but it hits me just right.
 
Wow ... tough, tough, tough to pick just one. Several great players/solos already mentioned.

I'll throw out a few more:

Electric division: Brian May, Queen, "The Prophet's Song."

Acoustic division: Pete Townshend, The Who, "Sunrise."

1980s metal division: Rudolf Schenker, Scorpions, "No One Like You." (hell, the solo's so tight, they start the song off with it! Then he expands upon it later)
 
I don't know if I have a favourite guitarist, but I think the coolest solo I've ever heard was by Danny Cedrone in "Rock Around the Clock."

He was a session musician who frequently worked with Bill Haley and the Comets, and he died a little more than two months after recording that song.
 
Favorite guitarist: Ace Frehley

Solo: Slash in "November Rain" or Eddie VH in "Hot for Teacher"
 
If we're just going with "guitarist" and not pairing him/her up with a solo:

Lindsey Buckingham, both with and without Fleetwood Mac.

His finger-picking style is unique -- and awesome.
 
Can't pick a guitarist offhand, but solo-wise, i always get fired up by Vernon Reid's solos in Cult of Personality.
