edit... sorry, didn't read the whole "which song" disclaimer. I think with the artists I listed, it's just about their whole catalog.

 

[Robisme]

Random.

Uli Jon Roth. Just about anything, but I'll say "Sky Overture"

Gary Moore. Again, anything. For all the Jimi fans : Cover.

Richie Blackmore. Any, but, "Still I'm Sad".

Jimmy Page. "Since I've Been Loving You"

Jack Starr. Anything.

I know that's 5, but I could not narrow it down to 3.

I feel bad for all the ones I left out.

Joe Bonamassa or however you spell his name lol
Martyn Simpson

[WhiteSE]

to me, for probably emotional reasons and that he has been voted by his peers as the best overall guitar player for 6 years in a row:

Steve Howe...from rock, rockabilly, jazz, country, etc....incorporates all styles very well. BAR NONE: The best ensemble player by himself, by that I mean overdubbing.

 

[justw]

Frank Zappa - Watermellon In Easter Hay
Eric Clapton - River of Tears
Jimmy Page - Ten years Gone

 

[iloveitloud]

Edward Van Halen, Anything
Darrell Abbot, Anything
Slash, Anything

 

[merrylander]

Andres Segovia, Carlos Montoya, Christopher Parkening or don't classical players count?

 

[merrylander]

There was some good picking on the Secret Policeman's Ball sets as well.

 

[Urchinn]

Frank Zappa...most experimental and difficult to predict!
Jonathan Richman...most passionate
Django Reinhardt...probably THE greatest of all time

 

[gearhound]

Jimi Hendrix....."Johnny B Goode"......from Hendrix "In The West" LP.
Duane Allman...."Loan Me A Dime".....from Boz Scaggs self-titled LP.
Danny Gatton..."Harlem Nocturne".....from his "Deuces Wild" LP.
