What can I say, next to Iommi, Blackmore is the greatest living guitarist! Fuck the haters... I love Blackmore's Night!!
 
Early on, Hank Shermann and Michael Denner. Shermann especially had so many awesome solos on every damn album that Mercyful Fate released. Listening closely, hearing the 'texture' (for a lack of a better word) he creates... wow. It was Shermann who made me fall in love with lead guitar work. Period.

Then later on, Luca Turilli's work in Rhapsody. Prob my favorite neo-classical guitarist.

Nice. Except that Coroner song which I hadn't heard of before it surprises me how I hadn't noticed the solos' good sound in those songs before.

Edit: @Burkhard, I liked the last 2 songs in your post.
