Here's some of mine:
Paul Gilbert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vS6syL0-jM
Andy McKee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddn4MGaS3N4
And for you Nintendo heads out there...
Chris Kline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5JlGQ5orL8

I'm sure I could make this list a mile long... There's a lot of good stuff, but those come to mind first. Anyone else have any favorites? (Not necessarily from YouTube)

Currently Son House - the source of the blues - his fingerstyle slide technique is brutal (SRV was a pussy compared to Son House hitting grade 16 strings with his bare flesh)

(OK its not that technical but sound pretty good to me)

theres obviously too much to list ;) but the first thing that came into my head was Townshend's rhythm/riff improvisations on 'Live at Leeds' -sterling stuff.

Back in 1974 I recorded a radio show that would introduce me to a life-long
Guitar hero (Rory Gallagher). Rory Gallagher's Walk on Hot Coals brought shear listening ecstasy to my ears.... Now 34 years later I still listen in amazement.
Rory was a rare talent who never sold out.

My favorite guitar work will always be from Kirk Hammet of Metallica from back in the day. :D

Any note bent by Gary Moore.

Although to get the full effect you need to see his face too...

I'm really trying to hold back from posting a whole barrage of videos, so I'm limiting myself to just three (...ok, four)... for now

I have to start with a clip of the guys from SikTh. I first got into them when I saw them playing a clinic similar to this one. From that day I have been constantly wowed by their musicianship and ability, both individually, and even more so when playing together as a pair. No matter how close I think I get to nailing one of their songs, watching this video makes me feel hopelessly inadequate. Even if you're not a metal fan, I urge you to watchi this:

SikTh clinic

Secondly, Andy Timmons has to be the most tasteful player I've come across. His note-choice is sublime, and the guy packs so much expression into his playing it's unreal. I've chosen two of his videos, one being one of my all-time favourite guitar instrumental pieces, the second being what I hold up as my holy-grail of non-metal tones:

Super 70's
BB preamp demo

Finally, this clip of Reb Beach had a profound impact on me a few years ago when I was starting to get into lead playing. It's the intro to his instructional VHS from the 80s, which i had but lost a couple of years back to an unscrupulous pupil of mine. I only just found this clip up on youtube, and watching it again it's funny to see how many staple licks of mine are nicked from it:

Cutting Loose intro

That Sikth vid is GREAT.

Seen it before - And was just as amazed that time.

And a good advert for BKPs!!

The ebony top B2 halfway through the vid is fitted with nailbombs if I remember right.
