I do have to echo millercarbon. Roy Clark was amazing, especially that Youtube clip where he's in a duet with Glenn Campbell.
Favorite Guitar Solo
What is your favorite guitar solo? The one that bypasses your cerebral cortex? The one that best hits your emotional center? Any genre. Any period. Any length. A million notes. Or just one note. Obscure or famous. You can make any excuse as to why you choose it, but explanations are optional. But you gotta choose just one.
My choice? Eric Clapton’s solo in "Sleepy Time Time" from the Fresh Cream album. Simplicity. Emotional ecstasy. Tone.

I love many of the guitarists listed here, and it’s like a Sophie’s Choice situation to pick a favorite guitar solo. That said, if I was threatened with execution for not picking the best solos of all time, it would be a coin toss between: Kid Charlemagne by Larry Carlton or Comfortably Numb by David Gilmour. These would be my objective save-my-skin guesses. Then, as they haul out the gallows and I realize I’ve muffed it, I’d say, Oh crap, it was: Sultans of Swing by Mark Knopfler Statesboro Blues by Duane Allman Bohemian Rhapsody by Brian May Chain Lightening by Denny Dias My Old School by Skunk Baxter Crossroads live by Eric Clapton Then they’d kick away the chair.

This is not a guitar but a very similar string instrument. The lady is simply INCREDIBLE, world class. Meet Yeliz Pasa, Turkish "saz" player: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1o966gfmSU
