Most of the ones I would've named have been listed.
Of those not mentioned, my alltime faves would be
B.B. King
Jimmy Page
Yngwie Malmsteen
Of more modern day guitarists I think Jack White (White Stripes) and Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) could go on to become pick4pick greats in the future. They got some good chops.
how about this guy guys? ;D

CC on the Gibbons, Lyle. Did you know that him and Stevie Ray Vaughn grew up right around the corner? Amazing.Quote:
