Terry Kath. Original guitarist for Chicago. (25 or 6 to 4).

Dick Dale, The King of the Surf guitar.

2 that are rarely mentioned until you listen to their stuff.

[dobyblue]

Vito Bratta

Like White Lion or not, it is impossible to deny that they always had incredibly technical yet masterfully melodic solos in their songs.

[pentatonic]

Reviving an old thread but I don't think Roy Buchanan was mentioned. Now that guy knew what the blues is all about

[arsenal_fan]

No mention of Nick Mccabe too.

[Steelmaker]

Mentioned it before but Rex Carrol is the man!! Didn't get the recognition he deserved because he's been contemporary Christian rock bands.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. One of the best guitarists of this generation for sure.

That's one guitarist I intend on discovering more. Only know him from some The Mars Volta but know he's contributed so much more. I like what I heard up to now, very talented indeed

[singhcr]

Two that come to mind are:

Neil Schon (Journey)
Mark Tremonti (Creed, Alter Bridge)

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!

I'm also a big fan of Luther Dickinson. There's not many people who can play a cigar-box guitar like he does

His solo stuff is really great. If you're interested in checking some of it out I highly recommend "Se dice bisonte, no buffalo", "Cryptomnesia", and "Omar Rodriguez Lopez and John Fruiscante". All three are great. He has so much stuff recorded its insane.
