I think you should listen to Exposure again. Fripp brings the jamz on that album.

Jimmy Page for all those riffs and cuz he could pretty much do rhythm and lead at once.
Nick McCabe. Fuck.

Johnny Thunders -- the only guitarist whose wake I've been to. He had short, stubby fingers. Maybe the most original rock guitarist I've ever heard.
Mick Ralphs / Mick Ronson. I wish I could add Mick Taylor, but he's not in their elite company.
Johnny Smith -- OMG, Johnny Smith.

I also like John Woo from the Magnetic Fields... understated, but very good.

Also gotta mention: Davey Graham, Bert Jansch, Dick Gaughan, D Boon, Mick Ronson, Michael Karoli, Michael Rother, J Mascis, Eddie Hazel, Steve Cropper, Ben Chasny, Lindsay Buckingham (the guitar sounds on Tusk are nuts - how does he get his axe to sound like phased out rubber bands?), Jack White, Kevin Shields, Carlos Alomar, Adrian Belew (on Talking Heads and Eno albums at least), Howe Gelb...

A guitar player buddy of mine put it best when he told me that after seeing Richard Thompson play live one time, he stopped playing for 5 years because in comparison, my friend felt like he was "playing with his feet."

Richard Thompson -- the best, period. Frank Zappa -- a close secondNeil YoungDoug Martsch -- that guy is just nasty when he gets goingTom VerlaineJeff Tweedy -- the playing on the last couple Wilco records has been stunning. James Hetfield -- I mean, c'mon, whether you love or hate Metallica, you gotta admit he's an awesome rhythm player. Brian May for sureBB KingTom MorelloJimmy PageDavid GilmourJim James of My Morning JacketVernon ReidLindsey BuckinghamSlash -- very underratedRandy RhoadsAngus Young
