I've already put down that I like Eric Clapton, but I'm getting more and more into Eric Johnson too. That guy is such a versatile guitarist and he's so good at all styles.
Plus he's a very humble sort of guy which is a bonus!

Clapton is a great guitarist, ironically he gets credit for the signature lick in "Layla", that lick was actually created and recorded on the album by Duanne Allman, but EC is still excellent. My favs are;
Jimi Hendrix
Lindsey Buckingham
Robin Trower
all of the Skynyrd pickers, but though he only gave us a few songs before his death Steve Gaines is probably my all time fav, his work on Street Survivors brought a new flavor to an all ready killer band, sad that we could not have heard more from him and his unique style of playing.

I left one of my favs out, Scotty Garland deserves a very honorable mention, possibly one of the founding fathers of rock guitar, if you think you've never heard of him your wrong....Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, That's Alright Mama...........the list goes on.

Like most everybody I'm finding it hard to narrow it down to just one. If I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO, I would go with Neil Young. Other favs include Walter Becker, Brian Setzer, Ritchie Balckmore, Patrick Simmons, Tom Johnston, Joe Walsh, Don Felder.

He's such a great guitarist, and they ended up replacing him anyway instead of just having Joe Walsh.

They apparently fired him over, of all things, MONEY. It seems that he resented the fact that Henley and Frey took a larger percentage of profits from the Hell Freezes Over tour and album etc... Up to that point everyone got equal shares. He launched a lawsuit. They counter sued. Blah, blah, blah. I don't know how it all turned out. Felder has a book coming out so that will no doubt shed some light on it. The counter suit was in fact due to Felder's book deal.

Wow this is a hard question, and like everyone else, mine changes a lot!
I love Mark Knopfler's sound, with it's sometimes spanish influence.
If you've never heard "Truth", you won't understand the fuss over Jeff Beck, but he is incredible.
I love Neil Young, but more for his lyricism lately. When I love him for his guitar playing, it's when he's in "grunge" phase.
But there really are so many!

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
