Oh, here's another to add to my first post. Marty Friedman. Does not get enough recognition. He has some freakin' sweet solo stuff - not to mention Cacophony as well.

And I agree on Adam Jones. He does a good job of what he is required to do. He may not solo that often, but when he does (i.e. Parabola), it's good.

No he's no Robert Fripp who he shares some similarities with, but he does a good job. He's not amazing, just good.

Hell yeah! The dude's amazing. Even Brian May, who's a great and well trained guitarist, admitted to not being able to play the Spanish guitar section of Innuendo - hence Queen getting Howe in for the job.

Actually, now that I mention him, anyone think Brian May counts?

White Lies

Paul Leary

Joe Perry from Aerosmith, he's pretty damn amazing, good live, but he never seems to put that bit extra in, it's a shame. Songs like 'Love in an elevator' and 'Crazy' some cool solos in there, he has style. And his image is pretty cool too.

Agreed on Howe a million times over.

As for Jones, I don't think his playing sounds that much like Fripp, even though he did cite him as a major influence, he still has his own rather unique sound IMO.

Yes, I think that's exactly true. If anything, he's "reinvented" guitar-playing in SOME sense or other. At least in the sense of eschewing all conventions, anyway.

I know no one has ever heard of them, but whatever. Dan "Thunder" Bolton and Rontrose Heathman.

I don't know about Dan Bolton, but Michael Bolton is definitely an overlooked guitarist.
