I voted Hendrix. The dude could play behind his back!! He was nuts. But SRV is my favorite guitarist. Very fluid in his playing. I also think Johnny Lang or Kenny Wayne Shepard deserves to be on that list.

Chet Atkins is the best guitarist of all time (classical guitar). That John Mayer kid is pretty good too.

I saw Johnny Lang warm up for the Stones a few years ago. IMO, he put on a better show than the Stones. It was an indoor arena. Outdoors in a stadium though, the Stones are awesome!!

I'm glad Johnny Lang was also mentioned here. I saw him when he was around 17 years old at the Electric Factory in Phila. We go there early and got balcony seats, about 20' from center stage. Awesome!
