So many to choose from. I agree with many or all of the previous posts.

Has Gary Moore been mentioned..

George Lynch

Michael Schenker

Dirty Dave Otsi 

Gary Hoey

Davey Knowles 

Alan Morse

 

 

 

Jimi and Jeff Beck would certainly be on my list as well as Mateo Mancuso. I know he is very young but incredible talent and technically one of the bright stars on the horizon. Oh and don’t forget Alan Holdsworth-one of my all time favorites. I think we need to mention some classical guitarists as well. Segovia, John Williams, Julian Bream and many others in this genre.  One more here-Joe Pass.
