Many have been named, and for obvious and good reasons:
Clapton (there was a reason they said "Clapton is God"
Page (most "feeling" in white boy blues solos on planet?)
Hendrix (when Are You Experienced came out I considered it nearly perfect)
Zappa (Genius)
Stevie Ray (1st guy that I thought was dang near as good as Hendrix)
Knopfler (I'm still going on Knopfler binges all the time)
Gilmore (like I just said)
Albert Collins (Master)
Rory Gallagher
How about a few more:
Mississippi Fred McDowell (Country blues extraordinaire)
Lightnin' Hopkins (I'm still going on Lightnin' binges all the time)
Alvin Lee (started listening to him in 7th grade
Phil Manzanera ("801 LIve", Roxy Music, Gilmore ((co-produced On An Island))
Robert Fripp (Genius)
Adrian Belew
Carlos Santana (saw him for free in a park in Berkeley in '78)
Bill Nelson
Reeves Gabrels
Gary Moore

Haven't seen anyone mention Satriani. One of my favs. Took a band like Chickenfoot to move him from the virtuoso status to a great rock guitarist.

I have to drop it... Hello. Les is more!!
Dudek slams!!"if it's not fun, it's not worth it & remember folks, "It's All About The Music"!!

I really like this CD. "Who Else"
The slow jam that starts at 8:20 is NICE too!
https://youtu.be/6mPSaLHjsyEMost people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
For tone and telling stories with his playing; Jerry Garcia. For innovation; Jimi. For technical brilliance: Django. For excitement; Carlos Santana. Honorable mention to Lee Renaldo formally of Sonic Youth.
