Gottsching is an underrated guitarist indeed.There are some really good guitar pieces in his Private Tapes albums too.

Almost anything from the first 2 Mahavishnu do it for me and of course Dimeola's work on Romantic Warrior and this whole album has stellar guitar work....

I am going to limit my selections to rock and the electric guitar. There are plenty of great performances in fusion and on acoustic guitars. Since I can't keep it at just five, here are my favorite six, in no particular order:
Death of Ra by Jade Warrior (Tony Duhig on guitar). If you like Ice, check this one out too, it is from Way of the Sun.
Ice by Camel. One of the world's great guitar ballads (as is Death of Ra).
Suddenly by Steve Howe. Ironically the longest song by far from his Quantum Guitar album.
Sartori in Tangier by King Crimson (Fripp). The phrasing of this is just out of this world.
Fire Garden Suite by Steve Vai. Trained professional, do not try this at home.
Pink Dolphin by Phil Manzanera, found on Mato Grosso, which he did with Sergio Dias. Like many tracks on this album, it is divided into several sections.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"
