I would add Jim Stafford to the list.

Also recently saw a perhaps lesser-known but hugely talented touring guitarist named Ed Berghoff in a backyard venue.  He could play everything from Hendrix to Lindsay Buckingham.  Very impressed.  Check him out on Youtube and Google.

Don't think I'm crazy but Frank Zappa was a fantastic guitar player!
