jimmy page, muddy waters, buddy guy, bb king, jerry garcia, eric clapton, duane allman, hendrix, pretty much anyone who can put emotion into their playing and makes their playing tight.

As a guitar player, I probably don't care for the legends of the art as much as I should. I don't really care for Zeppelin or the Grateful Dead, and for this reason I'm not so much as revering of Paige and Garcia as others would be (although I do acknoweldge their skill). But I would have to say I'm really into Clapton. He has a similar style of playing that I find that I tend to use. I think I'm never bored when I can just sit down and play the intro and solo to Layla.

I can't name just one but here are my musical influences guitar wise:

John Fruciante
Tom Morello
Yngwie Malmsteen
Joe Satriani
Mike Einzinger
Dave Matthews
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Dave Navarro
Eddie Van Halen (c'mon Eruption is awesome)
Tim Mahony
Johann C. Castor
Billy McLaughlin
Bela Fleck

I'm not a huge fan of Hendrix. He's excellent and all but I don't dig his style. Not my flavor.

But the best technical guitar player hands down is Malmsteen... he can do appreggios like no other.

Stu Ham
Flea

Jack White is amazing, J Mascis is good and I know you'll all say Dave Navarro sucks and is a sellout, but in his prime nobody sounded like him. Then of course Jimi and Jimmy, Clapton and I also like Tom Verlaine of Television

NO ONE can compare to Jimmy Page or Jimi Hendrix they are so diverse and the most unique of guitarists. no person has ever successfully been as creative as them.

trey, duane, tom morello of corse....he's a bad ass, clapton, page, hendrix, ....its so hard to compare because it is all different styles of music..so they are all the best at the style they play...thats why they are so good at guitar is because they developed their own style of playing

al dimeola is fucking intense. he plays so fucking fast with no distiortion, and still keeps a chill jazzy mood.

keith for being a riff machine and the ultimate paradox; perhaps the ugliest man alive, yet no one looks cooler on guitar. pete for the power he brought to the instrument and bruce for the passion and emotion he puts into all his solos; no one can make a guitar talk like bruce.

^ you've got to be kidding about bruce, Frampton mankes a guitar talk like NO ONE else, I mean it's not even questionable or a matter of opinion, it's just true.

Hendrix is the most amazing because he only released 3 albums, in the matter of less than 2 years, and those are his only studio recordings. It was just 3 albums that set him apart from the world, compared to all the other guitarists previously mentioned who all had well over that. No one can come close to the guitar sonic mastery that he possessed.
I think there are some really amazing guitar gods, but in the Olympus of the Guitar World, Hendrix is Zeus.
