(although many people don't know this, this virtuoso italian violinist also played guitar, and some of his world famous Caprices are rumoured to have been written on a guitar that only had three strings while being in jail.)
All of them have contributed greatly to the instrument.

Stuart Smith of Heaven and Earth. My uncle Joe plays bass in that band. Stuart has been playing for a very long time now and his band is finally causing a bit of a stir. They play classic rock-type songs. Go to heavenandearthband.com, and listen to "Don't Keep Me Waiting". It's a great song. Heaven and Earth's new album features guest apperances from Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, Bobby Kimball of Toto, Joe Lynn Turner of Rainbow, Howard Leese of Heart, and Steve Priest of Sweet. My uncle is a great bassist, just throwing that out there.
Also, Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam doesn't get the credit he deserves backing up Mike McCready.
And of course, Gilby Clarke and Joe Satriani.
