Jerry Reed?
With Chet Atkins seemingly looking on & wondering "How the hell is he doing that?"

A few years ago, on Sky-Arts channel, there was a series called 'Guitar Stories'
I'm not really a fan of Dire Straights, but this was interesting to show how he built the riff

And, yes, he did tell the story of being in the white-goods shop, in the States, & listening to the staff watching MTV, & their comments

Not a solo, but a fantastic bit of guitar work:

The guitarist was a certain John McGeoch, who does not appear in the vid because he had commitments with about two other bands. Sadly no longer with us.

The solo's good, but the downright insouciance of that slide at the end...

As is that opening to She Sells Sanctuary, with Billy Duffy playing that Gretsch White Falcon
(best played at '11')

Seen that before, & have seen the Cats on stage twice, the last time being their '40' tour earlier this year (1st time was '89)
Vastly under-rated player

There have been a couple of Zappa tracks, this is one of my favourites,

Then there's the sheer beauty of this from the same (instrumental) album.

Got a bit more Snowy White in my YouTube feed, although he's a bit older in this one.
