NOT whom you like best, but who has the most skill. Can include living and dead guitarists, because there are many good dead guitar players.

Andrés Segovia (1893-1987) is considered to be the father of the modern classical gutiar movement by most modern scholars. Many feel, that without his efforts, the classical guitar would still be considered a lowly bar instrument, played only by peasants.

So many types of playing to choose from... on a purely technical level, I'd say Shawn Lane and Al Di Meola are guitarists no one can really emulate. While music is a subjective thing, I'd put my money on those two if there were a notechurning contest :)
Also, Bumblefoot is amazing technically. Infact, he is impossible.

Joe Satriani. There is a reason he taught Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde (Primus), David Bryson (Counting Crows), and jazz fusion player Charlie Hunter.

Craig Chaquico might be in this category. He was a guitarist for Starship and now has launched a very successful solo career in the Jazz space.

I would have to say Jimi Hendrix because he is my favorite, but with the most skill, i will say Peter Frampton. He tought many guitar players to make there guitar talk, like Eddie Van Halen. Him and Eric Clapton learned to make their guitar talk together.
THERE AWESOME!!!

angus young! he is a rock guitarist who has been the lead guitarist of Australian hard rock band AC/DC. Angus Young is perhaps one of the world’s most underrated guitarists whose style is frequently imitated, but never duplicated.
