So many great electric guitarists:
in no particular order and I'll add a quick reason why just for fun. Buddy Miller: always plays what is needed, nothing more or less. Kenny Greenberg: great emotion in his rock playing Mark Knopfler: proof that tone is in the fingers Dave Gilmour: emotion! Brian May: killer lead licks, killer tone John Mayer: great modern blues and pop licks Larry Carlton: "Emotions Wound Us So" - amazing feedback control and Dumble tone. so many more too!

Iron Maiden's Adrian Smith and Dave Murray made me pick up the guitar back in the '80s. Great harmony solos. I'm also a big fan of Randy Rhodes (Ozzy in the early '80s). I listed to the Tribute CD again just last week and he does some amazing live work on it.

Another great, Wayne Johnson, with the most amazing band. I've seen him a couple times at the Comeback Inn when I lived in LA in the '80s.

This may not help my cool bona fides, but man I think John Mayer is a great electric player. He can tend to use a few too many notes at times but the guy combines great technical skill with a knack for melody in almost everything he plays. And he can do it across a variety of styles, I've heard him play great blues (of course), pop, and even occasional jazz.
