Anything from early Van Halen, The Who, Black Sabbath, T-Rex, Kiss
Back In Black/Ac/Dc

Any Metallica up until the self-titled 1991 album.

Jimi Hendrix-Villanova Junction.... A beautiful instrumental

The most common version is the Woodstock performance that caps a long medley of Voodoo Child/Stepping Stone/Star Spangled Banner/Purple Haze/Woodstock Improvisation.

There is also an excellent unofficially released version from his last American concert in Hawaii for "Rainbow Bridge".Hopefully this one will see an officil release someday.

Im not sure if he ever got around to recording it in the studio.

Not for it's great technique, of course.
But it's one of the most influential (and one of my favorite) rock songs ever, and definitely guitar driven.

There are so many as I am a guitar head, but here are some quick ones off the top of my head. I intentionally avoided listing anyone more than once.

Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin
The Ryde - Prince
Hardcore Jollies - Funkadelic
Summer Breeze - Isley Brothers
Machine Gun - Jimi Hendrix
Volcano Rupture - Slave
Take 5 - George Benson
It's Hell - Ohio Players
Whole Lotta Rosie - AC/DC
Little Wing - Stevie Ray Vaughn
Cheap Sunglasses - ZZ Top
Jungle Love - The Time
You Got the Love - Rufus
Whipping Post - Allman Brothers
Gangster of Love - Johnny "Guitar" Watson
Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Cult of Personality - Living Colour
Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
Rock and Roll Jelly - Stanley Clarke (w/Jeff Beck)
Still Got the Blues - Gary Moore

Some of my other favorite virtuoso-level players include Buckethead, Joe Satriani, Jimmy Herring, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Johnny Winter, David Hole, Buddy Guy, Jeff Healey, Robert Randolph, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Gales, etc.

Peace,
Scott
