well of course Clapton/Hendrix/Van Halen/Page...but I kind of like Jerry Cantrell and the STP guitarist DeLeo. DeLeo is kind of like Walsh from Eagles in that he's sloppy but it's groovey rythym. And it's in your face crunch and sounds good but it's simple and somewhat jazzy, knows how to work a chord progression

edit: don't forget Robert Johnson

speed is being mistaken for talent anymore. Not one person mentioned the guitarist for the greatest rock trio to ever be, Mr Alex Lifeson.

love malmsteen [video=youtube;kU4AS5N3yXM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU4AS5N3yXM&feature=related[/video]
and yea... buckethead is a incredibly talented musician, not just a guitarist. the guy can do anything, and probably already has. like 45 albums he's either collaborated on or put out himself.
even his newer stuff is becoming more progressive and less rediculously avante garde [video=youtube;qKHfxTA1DVw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKHfxTA1DVw[/video]
jason becker was a real prodigy- love his perpetual burn.[video=youtube;5qCQLyb0-mI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qCQLyb0-mI[/video]
and you got john petrucci, most people atleast respect his work with Dream Theater but i like his solo stuff and liquid tension more, the vocalist from dream theater gets on my nerves.

Two incredible singing guitarists I've had the pleasure of seeing many times are Robyn Hitchcock and Bruce Cockburn. Bruce Cockburn, especially. You listen to his shit, you'd swear he's overdubbing like 3 guitars, but it's just one track and he sings and records live. Seeing him live is almost a religious experience.
