Very nice.
SRV and Clapton are very popular on this post.
Orianthi Is a great choice. She was awesome with Alice Cooper.

Yes and everyone she played with actually.
Her stint with her X, Richie Sambora was nice.
I followed her since her burst into stardom on America's Got Talent.
I had a Lesbian crush on her for awhile :)

That's so difficult and changes every day lol.
OK....
Steve Rothery (Marillion) super style, sound and technique. Solos always driven by melody above all else.
Alex Lifeson (Rush). Particularly his rhythm playing in a 3 piece prog group he brings such colour, breath, depth etc his use of such wide chord voicing etc.
Joe Bonamassa. Just hits all the right notes in blue rock.
Chris Buck (Cardinal Black). Solo construction, technique and quality of sound.
Milos Karadaglic. Adding to the classical guitar repertoire and such style, sound, poise etc.

Geez I'm no good at these questions, there are some things you need a broader table to lay your cards out on. While I don't have favorite anything's really, my nods go out to (opens the envelope)
-Billy Gibbons
-Calvin (Fuzzy) Samuels (I'm not sure why bass players are so maligned)
-Steven Stills
-Eric Clapton
-Keith Scott
-Joe Perry
-Johnny Winter
*Agree also with Old Brit on Bonamassa. Sometimes I think he's a bit clinical, but he's a true savant---sans imparement.😉
Also, Steve Stevens

That's a really good list.
Eric Clapton is definitely at the top.
I'm glad you mentioned Steve Stevens, he's such an underrated guitarist.

@uncalled4
Here’s what I found
Who played on the song Runaway by Bon Jovi?
John did not have a band at that time, so he recorded it with studio musicians. Tim Pierce plays the guitar on this song, - Hugh McDonald plays bass. who later took part in recording the early albums of the band Bon Jovi, and since 1994 the bass Alec John Sach.

@Sidewinder Definetly.
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
@Synyster He played the electric guitar like a lap steel. One advantage of playing it that way was that he could use his thumb to play vibrato notes.

Me too. For me, it's about the way they play.
Me too. For me, it's about the way they play.
@Synyster A lot of the guitarists mentioned only sound like loud noise when they riff their solos, I think Iron Butterfly and Frank Zappa were the pioneers of gibberish.
Synyster · 51-55, M
@NativePortlander1970 I think we all like different styles of guitarists.
For instance, Dave Murray lead guitarist for Iron Maiden is not only a great guitarist but the amount of 7 to 10-minute songs he plays during a concert is unheard of.
