  • Eric Johnson
  • Danny Gatton
  • Greg Koch
  • Scott Henderson
  • Paul Gilbert

Just a few names that come to my mind when I think about non-prog, skillful and emotional guitar players.

Definitely Ritchie Blackmore, a good mix of virtuosity and feeling ....

Another guitarist with his technical talent would not be able to have this feeling ...

Not a heavy rocker, I know, but Mark Knopfler is a favourite of mine. I also love Albert King.

Gary Moore is superb; versatile and very technical.

Tony Iommi is also very underrated. His playing is even more remarkable given that he has parts of 2 fingers missing on his fret hand!

Wishbone Ash have had a number of brilliant guitarists over the years (Ted Turner, Laurie Wisefield) but Andy Powell is the king.

Another fantasic player is Graeme Duffin, often regarded as the 5th (unofficial) member of Wet Wet Wet (howls of derisive laughter from many, I guess). In a previous life, he played with a folk rock band called New Celeste and his playing with them had to be heard to be believed. The whole band could improvise endlessly.

And finally, Malcolm Jones of Runrig is not only a superb guitarist but can also play almost anything that can be plucked, bashed, blown or poked.

Off the top of my head, I'd say Ritchie Blackmore and Gary Moore. I'm sure there are many others who are technically better; however, as I'm no musician, I tend to judge in terms of feeling and melody.

Guitar-
My favorite guitarist in Pop music is Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, he's got some pretty good songs such as "Big Love"
In Southern Rock I really like Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd (spelling?) just listened to Free Bird yesterday, definitely overplayed classic but still really cool.
