We could also include other unconventional items:
- performance
- productivity

I'd probably have to say Phil Keaggy. His guitar playing is unmatched. Lyrics are beautiful and he's got a really cool voice. He is an incredible performer (doing everything live, using only his guitar...plus he's a really cool guy). And he's released over 50 albums and contributed to many more....with no end in sight. Also, he only has 9 and a half fingers.... just saying.
Phil Keaggy is a brilliant guitar player for sure!!!!!

I think Tom Scholz is my pick. A great guitarist, keyboardist, songwriter, and producer!! He was the founder of the group Boston.

Steve Harris- Great Songwriter, Great Composer, and one hell of a Bass Player.
I think John Petrucci is one hell of a guitar player.

Jeff Lynne. In my honest opinion, one of the best songwriters ever. He produced great music back in the 70s and 80s, and one of few singers that will never be removed from my playlist.

Alright either have something to say other than 1-word posts or Youtube videos, or go away.

John Entwistle, Neil Peart, Jack White: my three heroes. Entwistle re-invented the bass and played it virtuostically. Peart is... yeah. Don't need to explain. And Jack White is extremely multi-talented (singer, pianist, guitarist, drummer, composer, producer, songwriter, actor) and, to top it off, is one of the best (THE best, imho) alt rock guitarist right now.

Jeff Lynne is an artist that a lot of people seem to dislike, personally I think he`s an extremely talented writer and singer, despite the fact I quickly get bored with most of his ELO material.

Defiantly a musician with masterly ability, technique, and personal style.

Virtuoso?

I understand what your trying to say by stating that "Entwistle re-invented the bass". :)

But..even so..

The first bass guitar was invented by Paul Tutmarc in the early 1930's. The modern electric bass guitar was invented by Leo Fender. However, there were at least five other prototypes resembling the well-known design of the modern bass, each created well before Fender introduced the world to the Precision bass in 1951.

When people get all hot and excited over an artist, they say all types of stuff like "He invented or re-invented...." For example, Jim Morrison re-invented singing.
