I've got that album and I didn't even know Hendrix was on it.  Actually I'm not sure I've ever listened to it...

Duane Allman on Laura Nyro's 'Beads of Sweat'

Didn't know that one.  His playing on Boz Scaggs LP is stellar, Loan Me A Dime gets most attention but his deft touches on Finding Her are exquisitely tasteful...

I’m not really into technical shred but Guthrie Govan is the one virtuoso whose musical expression I just love. His solos on Steven Wilson’s The Raven that Refused to Sing (Drive Home) and Hand.Cannot.Erase (Home Invasion/Regret #9) are beautiful and brilliant.

SRV played some great guitar on Jennifer Warne's album of Cohen covers.
