It was just his demeanor, the way he told the story about the river I guess, I'm not really sure just what it was but I just took a liking to him, the way you described him was right on.

For me it's a rather tough question to answer because there are many guitarists that I admire.
Like Les, if the question related to influences etc then I'd have to include guitarists such as Peter Frampton, EVH, Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Tommy Emmanuel, Mike Bloomfield, George Harrison, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Randy Rhoads, who have each at some stage in my life had an impact on my playing and reason for taking up the guitar in the first place.
I guess for various reasons I do admire each and every one of them for their individual talents and abilities, although that admiration is limited to their skill on the guitar and not necessarily them as people per se. (for example, EVH whom I admire and respect as a guitarist but not necessarily him as a person)

Back in the 70's I was awestruck by Allan Holdsworth and listened to everything I could find. But today I'd say that David Gilmore's melodic and flowing style is what I'd like to be able to emulate if I could ever acquire the skills. Seeing him front up PF with both guitar and vocals puts him as a favorite for me.

There are a lot of good ones, I have to admit, but, I am particularly impressed by Roger McGuinn. My next guitar will be an electric--maybe a Ric 360-12

Which guitarist do you currently admire most?

You mean besides our own Kirk? 
I've really been getting into country guitar lately, so Brad Paisley is probably at the top of the heap for me right now.

I truly admire Marty Friedman. He can play anything, neoclassical, blues, enka (with a guitar) and other styles. He seems to have a great attitude. When I first listen to one of his solos I was in complete shock; it changed my life.

Eric Johnson, but he hasn't released anything new lately. And it'd be really cool to hear some acoustic stuff from him.
Eric Clapton, I can't believe he took up guitar so late. Didn't he start in college or something?
My list is weird, but here are some dudes I also like alot.
Dave Matthews, Hendrix, Warren Buffet.
...and the new favorite... drumroll pls. PRINCE. Did you see that Superbowl halftime show?! Wow! What a stage presence this guy has!

Joe Satriani, Van Halen, Steve Vai, Dime D (Pantera's master of squealing), Yngwie Malmsteen...Whops I FORGOT HERMAN LI! I named my username after him!
Yesterday was history, tommrow is a mystery, today is a gift. I'm moving on and starting over. There are things that have been done and past. You cannot change what's done but you can change what has not been. I will fall down and I'll pick myself back up again.

At the top of my list is Steve Hackett.
I just discovered TE about 2 years ago, and he also really inspires me.
