Papa Mali is also very awesome and has deeper blues roots then many of the guitarist mentioned, whom i would say play more rock then blues.

don't get me wrong, i love Hendrix and Haynes and Bloomfield. But they really play(ed) rock with a heavy blues influence.
I believe I mentioned Trucks earlier. He's probably my favorite younger guitarist. He does a lot more than Blues, though. He is a very Jazzy player. I've never really heard anyone play the guitar like he does, he does some crazy stuff that I don't even understand sometimes

I know Buckethead isn't a blues guitarist, but he plays the blues sometimes - on albums like Population Override. I really like the way he plays the blues. I'm sure some people would have trouble calling it that, but there's certainly some blues to it.
