Brian May (Queen)
Andy Summers (The Police)

[SAVO]

Ive never really been prog rock but I do love what Ive heard from Steve Vai. I know Santana is an obvious one but I love the emotion I can feel in each note he plays. He makes the guitar cry like no one else.

Oh, this is so hard but so easy. In no particular order....

Alex Lifeson, Pat Metheny, Eddie Van Halen, Billy Gibbons, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ian Crichton, Martin Gore, Ace Frehley, David Gilmour and the late Randy Rhodes.

I'm sure there are hundreds more, but those are the first names that spring to mind.
