I didn't go through every post here, but I was surprised that more people didn't say George Harrison. I know he wasn't technically flashy but he was tasteful and a key to the Beatles' genius.
For that matter, I always appreciated Lennon's playing. He had soul -- listen to those Yoko Ono albums -- Lennon could make it howl.
In an an entirely different realm, John Fahey was awesome. One of the all-time greats.
Lee Underwood, who played on the great Tim Buckley albums, played a beautiful guitar. He's all but forgotten.
