Too many to mention although Gilmour has been a lifelong obsession . And Knopfler is my default that I never get tired of and who has the most impressive oeuvre over five decades imho .I tend to celebrate more than denigrate. And most of my faves have been discussed . Let me just mention a few that deserve mention:

Frampton- just incredible tone. He was on point as a guitarist at all times , a true craftsman.

Mike Campbell- maybe the most disciplined Accompanist-always in his lane and restrained and in the service of the song.

Steve Morse. C’mon guys. Where is the love for Steve. His Dregs catalogue is mind- blowing.

Nick Drake’s gorgeous finger picking.

Earl Klugh hit the chill button with virtuoso perfection.

Doyle Bramhall ll

Anybody that ever played in Steely Dan .

A million bluegrass/ country artists.
I could go on for days.

He's awesome and in my top 10 for sure. But not my absolute favorite, which is what this thread is about. I got to see the original lineup of the Dixie Dregs last year and it was truly amazing. They were a band that I thought I'd never get to see but they came to Boulder and I got to go. Not only that but got front row seats right in front of Steve. The only thing is that he's having some real issues with his wrist. Some kind of carpal tunnel thing I believe. He's still great but not at the same level he used to be.
