by "my lifetime" do you mean who lived while you live or your generation?

if the former, then i dunno. if the latter, then jack white could be up there.

I'd go Clapton, if I had to choose just one.
There's tons of to choose from though, most are pretty different though.
Hell, I hadn't seen Malmsteen or Vai mentioned in this thread yet.

Frusciante is my favorite though.

no

Synyster Gates isn't bad, but not great. There are a LOT of great guitarists nowadays, to a point that not a lot really stick out. But Buckethead is definitely going to be one of the top ones that does stick out.
