Lot of good choices on the board but I would have added Kerry Livgren(kansas). The guy wrote quite a bit of their stuff and I'd say he was a pretty innovative guitarist and musician for the time.

It was pretty hard not to vote for John McLaughlin but Steve Howe gets my vote just for the special place I put Yes in my heart.

John Petrucci, and I'm not really much of a Dream Theater fan. He simply blows me away.
The solo on 'Trial of Tears' by DT is probably the best I've ever heard. Most of their stuff as a unit is unbearable to listen to though. |

I voted for Omar (Guitarists with afros = win. Tyondai Braxton is a good example of this.), but if Ian Williams was here, I would soooooooo vote for him instead, because his work with Storm&Stress, Don Caballero and Battles is so good.

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.
