For me? Billy Gibbons - excellent rhythm guitarist with such a laid back style.

Of the more recent crop, I rather like John Frusciante. Versatile yet very soulful and musical.
I love the simplicity and feel of the great funk guitarists - from Catfish Collins playing the same deep in the pocket riff over and over again on Sex Machine to Eddie Hazel's tripped out lead wailings on Maggot Brain.
The 'Oreo Cookie' trio on many of the great Motown records were quite something - one skanking the backbeat, one finding a perfect arpeggio or counterpoint, one playing the lead hooks or licks: Robert White, Joe Messina and Eddie Willis.
And Tom Morello just rocks, yet never loses that deep groove.

Jaco Pastorius
I don't know if Jaco would approve of being in this list - he always said he didn't just play bass, he played bass guitar, but as a bassist he certainly doesn't feel like a guitarist to me!

Dave Navaro - Jane's addiction (anyone that uses a vibrator to get mental "wibbly" sounds from guitar pickups whilst going bonkers get my vote)

If we're having bassists them Lemmy is yer chap, along with Keith Th'Bass from Here & Now. Paul McCartney is a bit of a bass god on the sly as well.
Oh and for the guitarists, I forgot Rory Gallagher.

Rory Gallagher for me, ta.

Knopfler's finger picking style sounds great. Watched a documentary with him chatting to Phil Cunningham. I didn't realise he was Glaswegian - his picking intervals are influenced by west coast Scottish music. It all makes sense when you re-listen so some of his output with that thought in mind.

>Probably Michael Schenker
And I'll be seeing him tonight
(Also one of my favourite guitarists, together with Lifeson...a pity Push has gone a bit solo-lite nowadays...always liked Nugent too, but he really is a king-size plonker...)
