James Taylor is near the top of my list.

Also, if you've never heard of Jake Shimabukuro, his ukulele version of
Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is amazing.

Lastly (though not least) Tommy Emmanuel.

Gotta run - - almost gig time.

It's not fair to choose only one because there is so much great guitarists today. Anyway I'll say Tommy Emmanuel. :D

My guitar tutor turned me onto Seth Lakeman, he plays a tenor guitar I think, not entirely sure, but his music is pretty awesome if you like folk type stuff :)

Probably haven't heard of her, but these days I like Anuhea. HaleAmano was her backing band here in Vegas. Let me tell you, this girl can really sing very good in person. During rehearsal, she was dead-on and it seemed so effortless to her. I was totally amazed.

I've always liked James Taylor. A lot. He puts on a good show, too.

Lately I've been listening to Stephen Fearing. Being a flat-picker myself I'm finding it challenging to learn his stuff as I haven't used my fingers for a few years, OK decades. I feel like I'm in the Degoba system and Yoda is telling me I must unlearn what I have learned.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
