Stevie Ray Vaughan's two solos in "Tightrope" are a force of nature. Mark Knopfler's intro and later solo in "Down to the Waterline", hunting. Marcus King has impressed me recently (his solo on "Say You Will", for example...)... And Prince, his cover of "Whole Lotta Love" is guitaristically insane, also "The Ride" ... Just a few that come to mind.
... just realized I forgot the "sweet" part, sorry

"Sultans of Swing" - Dire Straights (Mark Knopfler)
Just a stunning song with incredible guitar work. Does Knopfler ever hit a bad note? "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen" - Santana Still Carlos' best work, but "Smooth" is a great piece too. "All Your Love" - John Mayall with Eric Clapton Complete with tempo change in middle of solo, and he makes it all fit. "I Feel Free" - Cream (Clapton) Seamlessly blending the guitar solo which extends from the vocals. First time I heard it I couldn't figure out where the vocals ended and the solo began. Amazing. Gnossiennes - No 1" - Tony McManus Plus almost anything by Tony McManus, including an interesting piece on arranging on YouTube This one does exceed the 'short' qualifier in time taken, but somehow I'm always left waiting for more; time just stands still when listening to this: "Blue Sky" - Allman Bros (could qualify as a duet in spots, but Duane and Dickie did take turns in the middle break and meet up again.) George Harrison is a master of the short and sweet solo, e.g. "Something". And Stephen Stills is an underrated soloist. Don .

You asked for short and sweet --
The super subtle guitar solo on Roxy Music's Avalon from the album of the same name. Not even sure I can call it a solo, it's more like a musical compliment. In fact, the guitar part on that whole album is ultra tasteful, elegant and cool. And John Mayer's solo on Gravity from the album Continuum, is really sweet. In fact there are a number of nice solos on that album.

Jesse Ed Davis' lead work on Jackson Browne's "Doctor My Eyes" may be a contender. Still, the shortest and sweetest may be on JJ Cale's "Crazy Mama". .

Either of Tony Peluso's solos in the Carpenter's "Goodbye to Love." The song launched a whole genre.
Practically anything Joe Walsh did in the studio, but some examples would be "Midnight Man," "Walk Away," and "White Man/Black Man" with the James Gang, the version of "Turn to Stone" on So What, "Wolf," "Midnight Moodies," and "Days Gone By" on The Smoker You Drink the player You Get. He has a reputation of just dropping in on solo overdub day and taking over the song with a short solo. Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston of the Doobie Brothers really cranked them out: "China Grove," "Without You," "Rockin' Down the Highway," "Jesus is Just Alright," "Another Park, Another Sunday," "Black Water," "Daughters of the Sea," "Sweet Maxine," "Neal's Fandango," "Nobody." And then there was Maury Muehleisen with his leads and fills on Jim Croce's work, "One Less Set of Footsteps," "I Got a Name," "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song," etc. Lynyrd Skynyrd's three on songs like "I Need You," "Sweet Home Alabama," "Call Me the Breeze," "Saturday Night Special" (in my opinion, the only song on Nuthin' Fancy.) Who can pass by Steve Lukather of Toto with his work on "Hold the Line," "Rosanna," "I Won't Hold You Back," and then as a studio musician. The are more in the progressive field that no-one has ever heard of - Wishbone Ash and Andy Latimer of Camel. So many, so little time. I really did get to see the great bands. Bob
