With a great deal of thought and indecisiveness, I'd have to say Eric Clapton.
I just love hearing him play, and out of all the guitarists that I like (and that's quite a lot) Eric is the one that stands out for me.

Got to go with you on that on Neil, I thought long and hard on that one, and EC comes out on top. Along with Dave Gilmore (king on bends) and Peter Green running a close second.
Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.

Hmmmm Difficult as I go through phases, for instance last week it was without a doubt Jimmi Hendrix but this week it is Rory Gallagher. The only other to come close was Clapton but I do not think of him as a legend anymore.
I also highly admire John Entwhistle, I know he is bass bass but he was the life of the who for many years until Mr Townsend learnt the guitar better.

If I were forced to pick just ONE, I'd have to go with Eddie Van Halen.....but that wouldn't do justice to my many other favorites who run a close second (or sometimes a faraway first, depending on my mood):
Brian May
Larry Carlton
Billy Gibbons
SRV
Jimmy Page
Pat Travers / Pat Thrall
Alex Lifeson
Carlos Santana
Tom Scholz
Peter Frampton
Ace Frehley
Brad Paisley
Elliott Easton
Steve Vai
Glenn Tipton / K.K. Downing
Mac
