Strong nominee. May have missed it but did anyone list Guthrie Govan?

There are lots of guitarists that can mimic Eddie Van Halen note for note, but they can’t write songs.
A handful can play what he writes; but they cannot write what he plays.

Mateus Asato is my current favorite playing right now

Now that Jeff Beck is gone, it's Mark Knopfler.

Exactly. The music world is littered with incredibly talented guitarists who never made it big because they can’t create, just copy.
Some do hit it big because they are lucky enough to get in a band with someone who is creative.

Near the top of my list. Every time I see him play he pulls out something my ears have never heard before and it completely guts me.
Same with Charlie Hunter. I really don’t know how does what he does.

I love Jason Isbell, but he ain't even the best guitarist in his own band.

Some really good choices already mentioned. I'll go ahead and throw Lindsey Buckingham in the mix.
