SRV, Jimmy, Skydog, and Dickie. At the risk of getting jumped on, John Mayer is pretty spectacular as well.

Not my kind of music, but Tommy Emmanuel is generally considered the best there is......

I’ve seen Tommy twice at the Charleston City Music Hall. Agree his music is not my favorite, but he is one seriously talented dude. Ran into him at the CHS airport one morning. We talked for 20 or so minutes. One of the most humble and modest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to be around. His Beatles medley rendition is entertaining for sure. Almost no singing. He just plays. Any man that can make one instrument sound like a full band gets my vote for best guitar player.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

I'm a fan of the Spanish style, which may not do anything for someone else. I've listened to the live album below for 30 years and it still blows me away. I'll like most all genres, but as far as technical guitar, flemenco is hard to beat imo. Creativity, I give a lot of props to Zappa. I know technically they're not the best, but I've had Willie and Jerry solos damn near draw a tear.

I will take Mark Knopfler as well. He plays with a blended precision that no one else exhibits. But, that is his own unique style.
I thought Prince was an interesting choice as well. I would not have thought of him, being a classic rock guy myself. However, they say he could play anything he put his hands on. He was an amazing musician.

Seen the Brothers several times at the Beacon theater in NYC !!

I love Stevie Ray don’t get me wrong. Prince could go to another level. Think I remember an interview where they asked Eric Clapton what it’s like to be the best guitarist in the world. And he said I don’t know. Go ask Prince.

That's what Duane Allman said about Dickie Betts. Let that marinate.
