By far, this is the best acoustic guitarist ever. Here are two songs.

For electric guitar I am a huge Tom Morello fan. Guy makes sound with his guitars no one can match.

With this guy in VERY close second. Extremely fast sweep picking and creative.

Too lazy to post videos but +1 on the Morello. Add in there Slash, Dime, Jimmy Page, Jack White, SRV, Robert Johnson. Just some of my faves.

About 20 years ago I was doing some stagehand work in N.O. when they had a music show. We did a booth for Zildjan and as a bonus they gave us some passes and time off to go watch Brian May do a solo set. Lots of Queen stuff, but other stuff too. Mostly just messing around. It was incredible.

One of my all-time favs is Dave Murray from Iron Maiden! Looking forward to their latest studio album coming out on August 16th... this will make their 15th studio album (not to mention their 9+ live albums). They're a great live band as well... they just never seem to come anywhere near here.

Billy McLaughlin. I saw him live at a Keller Williams event, and he was truly amazing. Here he is with a 20-piece orchestra:

And if you appreciate his talent, watch the next video and learn what makes it even more unbelieveable:

[DAVE_M]

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai... Too many to name lol

 

[jato]

agree with 'DAVE M'. too many to name but have to mention Robert Johnson again, influenced many of the best we have today.

Yeah Brian May from Queen is little recognised for the talent he has.
Julian Bream is another one.

 

[oleheat]

Ted Nugent, Matthias Jabs, Billy Gibbons, Frank Hannon, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Randy Rhodes, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, BB King, SRV....

Like others have said- far too many to name, and I'm sure I left out most of the obvious choices. But there's no way I could leave out Uncle Ted!
