    Uncle John's Band-Workingman's Dead-Grateful Dead. The DVD-A really separates Jerry's guitar on this song in a most wonderful way!

    Lots of good selections in this thread with which I would be hard pressed to disagree.

    However, the first one I thought of was Maggie May by Rod Stewart!

    Lots of them are recognizable. One that stick out with me is one that is on Rushs FTK. I think it is the intro to "Closer To The Heart". It is a beautiful guitar peice.

    It's a complex modulation, but the 12-string in Hotel California.

    It was mentioned once already, but for "fingerpicked" intro, I've got to go with:

    "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams
