Here's mine:

1. Wes Montgomery (best jazz guitarist ever)
2. Joe Satriani (For Love Thing and Down, Down, Down)
3. John McLaughlin (I think that's how you spell his name)
4. Steve Vai (mainly for Boston Rain melody and Tender Surrender)
5. Hide (from X Japan, he's a master with an iron maiden influence but can play way better, too bad he's dead now...)

Top 5 bands (in no order):

1. Live
2. .38 Special
3. X Japan
4. Tourniquet
5. Radiohead
Miracle Blade 4: Gibs on touch.

Random, I know, but it's the only Othello quote I remember :o... cracking good play, though.

Tommy is an amazing guitarist - mostly plays accoustic fingerstyle now, and is probably the best guitarist I have seen live.
His best CD in my opinion is Endless Road. If yo can get his live DVD it is awesome. You can see plenty of clips of him on youtube.com with one of the best being this one

Let me know what you think.

Have a look at the Sal****er and Initiation clips too - they show how he has amazing touch and feeling as well as all the speed you could need.

Actually, I have just watched the Hunt video and it is not as fast as he plays it live - still not bad though. Check this one out for speed.
