David Gilmour.
But his best playing (from Meddle and forward) aint that much prog. Mostly just rocking blues. Pink Floyd is prog, but not the guitars that much.

Best true prog guitarist for my taste is Robert Fripp.

John Petrucci is an amazing guitarist. The guys of Dream Theater are all equally just as good. Does it get any better than that?

All great guitarist mentioned above.

Personally I like Adam Jones. Don't think he's the greatest though I find him captivating.

I chose John Petrucci from Dream Theater. I really love Dream Theater's songs, especially Panic Attack and Pull Me Under. It was a hard decision, though. I really like Alex Lifeson and Adam Jones, too. Buckethead is also a really great guitarist.

Kind of off topic, but I've just found out there exists Rick Graham. Have you had a go at his music? His technique is supreme, but never listened to his compositions yet.
