i'd add dave gilmour's playing on 'shine on you crazy diamond part I', 
george harrsion, perhaps, on 'while my guitar' (tho i think it might
actually be eric clpaton) (ohmigoodness, i'm sorry for bringing HIS
name up on this list) 

i might even be sad enough to add jimmy page on 'stiarway', but that
would get me taken off to the 70s hell in the sky.

that;s enough guitars.
