I’m looking for some songs that are basically just someone wailing on a guitar, with little or no lyrics. Something like Hendrix or Eddie Hazel or Bluesy like Shuggie Otis.

What do you recommend?

I already had Watermelon in Easter Hay, but that’s the only Frank Zappa I found that was mellow enough.

Got more?

From Zappa maybe you’d like this one,

The 5 second one from "sempathy for the devil". It's all you need.

Peter Frampton Do you feel like we do - There are lyrics though. (from both him and his guitar)

Sweet Widow by Spin Doctors, with a bonus epic bass solo. There's lyrics, but only for the first few of the eleven and a half minutes.

Prince’s solo on ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ at the tribute to George Harrison is both incredible and a masterclass in, well, class. He blows Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne completely out of the water, but doesn’t try to overshadow them while clearly having a good time playing with them, and then quietly leaves so as to not make it about himself.

Start watching at 3:20 for Dhani Harrison’s face. He’s so happy with what’s about to go down:
