    That's the truth. Last year, I paid a stupid amount of money for an old 68 Vox Stinger bass, not because I wanted to play it, but because it belonged to Phil Volk (Paul Revere and the Raiders). We all have our little quirks.

    I've narrowed it down to 3 for me: Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Randy Rhodes (Ozzy) & Zakk Wylde (Ozzy, Pride & Glory, Black Label Society)

    Of all times, Hendrix, hands down. Among the living, Vieux Farka Toure.

    His father was considered rather an iconic musician as well, but, for some reason, wanted his son to become a soldier because of their family heritage. Glad the kid listened to his father's music instead of his advice.

    If I had to listen to someone play guitar all day long, I think it would be a tossup between Pat Metheny and Scott Henderson.

    Jimmy Page probably tops the chart. Steve Vai only shows off his hand speed and technical skills which may be unparalleled, like making a guitar talk, but his stuff sounds random and chaotic, he usually does not play something you can call a melody. And recently he's been appearing at concerts wearing those ridiculous chimney-cleaner tuxedos, as if he needed a part-time job.

    Country Music's Mother Maybelle Carter (originator of the Carter scratch and mentor of Chet Atkins) of the original Carter Family. Nancy Wilson of Heart... a woman who can rock on the guitar as good as most men in the business. Flatt and Scruggs. Albert Lee. :) Most of those mentioned on here are Rock or Metal but there are other forms of music so I thought I'd mention a few guitarists who made history in other genres.
