Excellent point! There are dozens of great and perfectly valid musicians who aren't on this list. You could start with Frank, but also include hugely influential guitarists, like Adrian Belew; his solo on Adidas In Heat is an exemplar.

Keith Urban, "Till Summer Comes Around"

Amazing tone & passion (it's not about speed here...it rarely is ;) )

I couldn't find a video with a complete Zappa solo in, apparently youtube only allows a max upload length of 5 hours

: O


I found this from Adrian Belew - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63I_eyFeEPE
