Can't believe no one mentionned Joe Pass ,nor Django Reinhardt, nor Biréli Lagrène yet...! Joe Pass with Ella Fitzgerald: That's what music is all about Bireli Lagrene: Makes you quit guitar playing too
Jeff Beck is my favorite For those who said he sound like he doesn't know what he does listen to this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drAv2FoYji8
I saw Joe Pass. Probably back in the 70's. Small club called the Jazz Gallery. Just him on a bar stool and his guitar. Playing and telling stories. It was epic. Bireli Lagrene. Thanks for posting that. I had not heard of him.
Has anyone mentioned Nuno Bettencourt yet? He and Mike Mangini did some pretty sweet/funky stuff back in the day with Extreme
I like Ry Cooder and Stephen Malkmus and I always love the sound that Albert Collins made. I mean; good lord - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1c1SaG_gKA

Hot Tuna was a great group. Have to dig out the solo album I have from him. Was great with Jefferson Airplane too. Rolling Stone ranked him 54 out of the top 100.
Can't belive no ones mentioned Steve Lukather. And i'll throw Akira Yamaoka name into the hat aswell.
