Location: Kent, England | Oh wow...this is a tough one! :eek:
As an electric guitarist, almost anything by...Clapton, SRV and Satriani (to name a few)and as an accoustic player Ralph McTell - his rag/blues finger picking, Steve Howe - The Clap (never been able to work out the picking, even from TAB...just ain't good enough), Trad folk guitarist Martin Cathy...to name a few more.
Yet so many names mentioned here so far I haven't recognised...more to investigate in the future and therefore widen my musical and guitar style knowledge...great keep it coming! :D
Cheers

Location: Warren,Pa. | How about "Friday night(or is it Saturday)in Sanfransisco".That was one of my first "jazz" albums. One of the HOTTEST sessions I've ever heard! People are very surprised when I point out that most of that sound is coming from Ovations. |

Location: NYC | Angelina by Tommy Emmanuel is right up on my list. I'd add Endless Road by Tommy as well, but then, any of his tunes is truly fabulous. If you get the opportunity, take a listen to his version of Classical Gas. It's like nothing you've ever heard! :D |

It's interesting to see Mark O'Connor on your list. He's an unbelievably fine guitarist, but he's best on the violin/fiddle. He's won the Grand National Fiddle Championship many times. |

Here he is with someone who looks vaguely familiar, but I just can't "place" him . .

:D I'm glad to see this is somebody else's favorite also.
I also was glad to see someone mention Warren Haynes. He's now a permanent part of the Allman Brothers Band along with Butch Trucks nephew, Derek, who together with Warren have really brought the ABB back to life.
Derek Trucks is an incredible slide player, and while he has his own style, he really breathes life back into Duane's licks on many of the old songs.
If you want to hear what the band has been up to the last couple of years, find the DVD of the 2003 Beacon Theatre performances in New York. Well worth it. Their last new album, "Hittin' the Note" is pretty good but it sounds like they were rushed to record it, but by the time they did the Beacon Theatre concerts in 2003, they had the songs smoothed out and down pat. Very enjoyable. |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | I like lots of instrumental stuff by Kaki, Glen, The Ventures, Louie Shelton, SRV, and Mark O'Connor. Also, some of the Chet Atkins/Jerry Reed is amazing.
I don't think anyone has mentioned Danny Gatton...an absolute guitar wizard that could play in virtually any style and switch from one genre to another with ease.

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Some great players mentioned here. Because I've always liked bluegrass and country, one of the best CDs I've listened to is called Mac Doc & Del, Mac Wiseman, Doc Watson, and Del McCoury and various other mandolinists, banjo players etc., not a reissue but recorded in 1997, some GREAT picking and great songs, all acoustic, of course.

Early Fleetwood Mac.
It's more of a "don't shut off the car and stay in your driveway to hear it" song for me. |

Location: Houston, TX | Oh well is a great tune, but I think it has words. If we are talking just instrumental, I may have a few. I like this topic, partly to reflect on what I like, moreso to get some new leads to check out.
Neil Schon - Electric World album
Steve Morse - The Introduction, and Major Impacts (copies the style of different guitarists on each subsequent tune, without plagiarizing outright).
Michael Hedges - used to have all his stuff on cassette in the early-mid 90's, but never paid attention to the song titles - too busy listening.
Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom
Bela Fleck - ok, it's banjo - but it's banjo jazz. |

But I shouldn't talk. I was the one that raved about the guy playing Roy Orbison on a cross-cut saw!
I like to think I can appreciate anything that is done well.
