This is always a fun subject...
Who are your favorite guitar players? Any genre, any style - it doesn't matter. Whose guitar work really clicks with you?
For me there are a lot of guys I like, but these guys are my favorites...
I'm sure I'll think of a few more to post later...
So who are some of your favorite guitar players?

Probably my favorite guitar player of all time -- maybe not the "best", but a favorite -- is Dickey Betts. His inimitable tone, his melodies, his technical prowess, his overall FEEL for the instrument has always floored me. I attributed much of his work to Duane Allman over the years -- ANOTHER favorite of mine, but for different reasons -- but I think back on the classic centerpiece solo from "Blue Sky" or the long fade-out jam of "Ramblin' Man" and I can't help but want to pop it in the stereo and get lost in his work.
1977's "Dickey Betts & Great Southern" is easily one of my favorite alltime albums, and one that I think gets lost in the discussion of great 70s albums. "Highway Call" is also a classic. Or heck so are the Allmans' "At Filmore East" and "Eat A Peach", although that's akin to making the observation that water is wet.

Good call on Betts.
My favorites are Jimmy Page. Technically bad, brilliant in terms of vision.

I'll always go with Stills, but Larry Coryell is one hell of a good guitarist. And I'm modifying this to add Richard Thompson.

I really like Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen. Never get tired of them.
