TRIO!
Paco, DiMeola, McLaughlin.
Recorded an album or two early-mid 80s.
Caught them live at Denver's (now defunct, unfortunately) Rainbow Music Hall.
Steve Morse opened for them, and blew them all off the stage IMO, especially when they invited him out to play with them to close thier set.
One of the best acoustic guitar shows I've ever seen, just behind seeing Phil Keaggy and Dave Beegle in Boulder last summer.

T'was amazing...
...I go into the show a huge Mahavishnu fan...and leave a huge DiMeola fan.
DiMeola was so clean...amazing technical guitarist. I've seen him several times since...but the one that sticks was him, alone, acoustic for 2 hours. Was the show that made me realize that I >tinker< on guitar...
However, again, there is not one guitarist mentioned so far that is anything short of amazing...and I like all of them...though we've all failed to mention probably my favorite overall...Carlos Santana...if one were to judge by the mumber of disks I have...all of them.
You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! Laurie Anderson

You forgot the best...
"fast" guitarists...
Frank Zappa and Alvin Lee (Ten Years After). In a slightly different light, one would be remiss by not mentioning Dickey Betts
Stylistically, noone has mentioned Jeff Beck or Mark Knopfler or Mike Campbell OR probably the most distinctive lead guitarists - David Gillmore (what's up with that?)...
The lead riff hall of fame:
The lead guitar in
Aqualung, I'd Love to Change the World, whole album Blow by Blow, Stairway to Heaven, That Smell, Muffin Man, Voodoo Chile (slight reprise - hell the whole side four of Electric Ladyland)
And this is just off the top of my head...
By the way, if you want to see how a web site should be done...After posting and having time to think... the following web site shows what could be done in the future. This site assumes a high speed connection, Quicktime, and a lot of other proprietary stuff... It is the bomb on my G4 OSX.2 Mac That said -

Incredible.
Just a few thoughts,

By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

Tied for #1
Martin Barre's lead in Aqualung is briliant....I hold that as the #1 rock lead ever.

Maybe
"Satisfaction" has to be right up there next to it.
