In order for me to rank anyone, they have to be a major influence in music and the history of guitar playing. I tend to believe that most of today's players are only influenced by todays guitarists. I wish this could have been posted as more of a generational or style selection, as that would be more realistic. Ok, with that said, here is my list:

Django Reinhardt
Chet Atkins
Les Paul
Jimi Hendrix
George Harrison...

Second Choices:

Jimmy Bryant
Dwayne Allman
Eric Clapton
SRV
Dicky Betts
Robert Johnson

Sandy Bull: one of the great innovators of guitar and played Fenders exclusively for his electrics. Fluent in all styles, he invented raga rock and long modal improv tunes long before Bloomfield ("East/West") and the Dead introduced them. Played Bach on Strats, blended non-Western musical styles into rock beats with sitar and ouds way before this became fashionable via the Beatles and Stones.

Wiki: "Sandy Bull was a composer and accomplished player of many stringed instruments, including guitar, pedal-steel, banjo and the middle-eastern oud. His music and recordings are characterized by his blending of non-western instrumentation and improvisational traditions with the 1960's folk revival.

His albums for Vanguard Records often combined extended modal improvisations on oud with an eclectic repertoire of instrumental cover material. Bull is well known for his arrangement of Carl Orff's composition Carmina Burana for 5 string banjo on his first album, which was included on an album of R.E.M.'s favourite songs. Other such musical fusions include his adaptation of Luiz Bonfá's "Manha de Carnaval," and compositions derived from J.S. Bach themes.

Sandy Bull's approach to performance, composition and recording is notable for his extensive use of overdubbing and multi-track tape recording before such techniques became commonplace in music production. However, unlike the sophisticated, glossy aesthetic commonly associated with these techniques, Bull simply used overdubbing as a way to accompany himself and play all the instruments on many of his recordings.

As documented in the "Still Valentine's Day 1969" concert recording, Sandy Bull's use of tape accompaniment was part of his live, solo performances as well. Bull also played the oud on Sam Phillips 1991 album, Cruel Inventions. Bull primary played a fingerpicking style of guitar and banjo and his style has been compared to that of John Fahey and Robbie Basho of the early Takoma label in the 1960's."

Jess, why don't you start a greatest new guitar player thread? No one's going to name a new guy in a "Greatest of all time" list.

By the way, what youngster are we missing that you think should be on the greatest of all time list?

here are a few...

Synyster Gates
Ray Toro
Frank Iero
Me!!! (LOL.)

okay, there are other aspects of life that when something new comes up, people call it the best of all time? why must we musicians be so stubborn? seriously, if we did exactly what we are doing here, we would still be traveling around in horses and buggies, and other random crap like that... is it too much to ask for people to be a little open-minded?
