I think
Stanley Jordan - He plays only with tapping and plays like a piano player.
Django Reinhart - Jazz legend from the 30s and 40s. He only had the use of 2 fretting fingers but went on to become one of the top 3 jazz guitarists of all time. (The other 2 fingers were paralyzed.)
Jeff Healey - He is blind and plays slide guitar brilliantly on his lap like a pedal steel.
Robert Randolph - He plays a pedal steel in an R&B/funk format but sounds like Duane Allman.
Junior Brown - Another pedal steel player who is hard to describe. He's mostly in the country genre.

It has to be Reggie Wooten, brother of a famous bass player
Wictor Wooten. He's playing his strat like a bass
(slap & tappings).
He actually learned his younger brother Wictor to play bass
when Wictor was 3 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!
And off course - respect to Jimi Hendrix (you can hear him in EVERY rock song, he's the GREATEST!!!
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) is unreal. His solos are not just improvisations, he makes most magical melodies!!!
Keep listening good music, man!!

In my opinion, it weould be Steve Howe from the band Yes, Asia and GTR.
Steve Mixed it up all the time and would often play a Les Paul over the shoulder while alternating between and acoustic guitar on a stand and a steel guitar plugged in and ready to go. He is probably the most versataile guitarist I've ever known in my life.

I recently was privliged to hear a guitarist named Tracy Conover from Texas. She plays VERY good and can sing. If you listen to her, you can tell she was influnced by Stevie Ray. She has a live CD out right now and there is a song on there called "Goin' Down"...it has one of the best guitar solos I have heard in a long time. Check her out.
