Paul Gilbert is a guy who I've always been a fan of.

So many names that I've never heard of (especially from the cookie monster-core groups). I guess the only name that I haven't seen so far that I do believe belongs on here is John Frusciante (formerly of the RHCP).

Brian May - Queen

If you just youtube videos of him of his solo's and such are amazing. Very innovative.

I can agree with a lot of the names thrown around here and it is all your personal taste so I respect that from all of you.

Couldn't agree more -> i was reading this thread waiting for the first mention of May

A subjective question, of course. But Clapton and Allman on the original Layla is guitar nirvana to me.

For underrated: Willie Nelson is one hell of a guitar player.
