Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Jeff Beck and Trey Anastasio are 4 that make my top ten list.
OK, the last two replies finally started to make sense. I'm just gonna compliment the list mentioning:
Ronnie Earl,
Doyle Bramhall II,
Albert Collins,
Freddie King,
Muddy Waters,
"Gatemouth" Brown
oh, and of course, Mr. Robert Johnson...
Nenad,
strummin' on Strat Squier '84 and Fender Vibrolux Reverb '72...

I love baroque music, and I had the good fortune to see Andres Segovia live before he died. Just sublime. I am not a religious man at all, but I do believe he was touched by something special. There are some fantastic recordings of Andres out there, which I listen to often.
I do appreciate the comment earlier (forget who it was) about technical guys who play lots of notes without any feeling or understanding how it fits in the song. My personal opinion is that guys like Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen, etc. fall into that category. I love virtuosity when it serves the song, but not for its own sake.

Bravo! Well stated.. I met Segovia many years ago in Paris at a dinner party. He, under some protest, played a short piece by Rodrigo.. What an emotional treat..Scotto said:
Hmm, I find it very interesting that no one has brought up Edward Van Halen. IMO one of the finest and most influential guitarist of the 70's, 80's and 90's.
Nice thread as usual ...
I have been listening to the classical radio streams of SKY FM on iTunes for months now day and night very odd im not that into the guitar but when you are listening for months all over to the classical stream you begin to hear the inner voice of the guitar most of the streams are acoustical guitar spanish flamenco style something I never listened to so much before.
Jesse Cook is quite nice as a laid back no nonsense relaxing mood guitarist sometimes you just dont need the complex music but background music so you can do two things at the same time. read a book and listen to background chill out vibes.

Shavers who like Satch, Vai, and Petrucci? Oh man, have I found the right place. But I'm surprised no one has mentioned John McLaughlin yet. His stuff with Miles Davis and The Mahavishnu Orchestra was truly outstanding. And of course, Randy Rhodes and Eddie Van Halen.

I saw McLaughlin back in '73. (The star of that ensemble was Billy Cobham on drums.)
Back in those days, concerts were marathons. This particular concert started with Leo Kottke (who played a very competent 12 string), followed by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, followed by Frank Zappa. They don't do things like that anymore.
By the way, why the hell isn't Zappa on anyone's list. Anyone who ever saw him play live knows they saw one of the all time greats.
Scotto, I am doing itunes tonight and find myself craving some of the guitar work of Andres Segovia as you had tantalized us with...
Do you have any recommendations for specific downloads....

Sue, who is doing Gary Moore tonight.....
I'd have to say a favourite guitarist of mine has always been Mike Oldfield. Though guitar is his main instrument he plays 100s more.

Pink Floyd.. unbelievable. try playing Lady....

Don't quite understand what you mean.
Young David Gilmour gets my vote for the most transcendant guitar experience. Anyone who had the opportunity to see him in the good old days (read: pre DSOTM) knows what I mean. No question that Roger Waters was the brains of the outfit, but Gilmour could squeeze more emotion out of a single note than any musician I've ever seen.
Great recommendations by all, so far. (No surprise there!)
