If you want to go with some moe recent stuff...this name has to be on the top of the list...Stevie Ray Vaughn
And if you're talking instrumental (for the most part) guitarists...you've got Carlos Santana, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Gary Hoey, Eric Johnson, Steve Moore.....

Superb taste in music.
I've been playing guitar 25+ years, and I cut my teeth on SRV. I had the priveledge of seeing him twice live before his untimely passing...words can not describe the talent that man had. It wasn't just music eminating from his guitar & amp, it was his very soul pouring out.
I still get chills whenever I hear "Riviera Paradise", "Life By The Drop", "Voodoo Child", and most of all, "Little Wing." On Little Wing, if you have your stereo cranked up to about 14 (
), you can hear the faint buzzing of his tube amp in the background.
Gone, but never, ever forgotten.
