Steve Hackett, definitely. Well, ok, it was kind of a pull between him, Steve Howe, and Robert Fripp, but at the end, Steve Hackett just created some of my favorite guitar passages in prog. Not to mention how innovative he was, which is unjustly forgotten by now. He was one of the first guitarists to experiment with the tapping technique normally attributed to Eddie Van Halen.
