Whoever this kid is.

His solo is worthy of the John McLaughlin material, and his speed is in Shane Lane territory.

Alive? Should be Clapton. He's forgot more than what most modern day speed virtuosos know.

I like Gary Clark Jr, but I wouldn't have him anywhere near the top of a best guitarist list.

The guy who can do it all is Mark Knopfler, but he's not best at any particular thing, damn close though. Great writer too.

We always forget about him, don't we? I think it's his amazing ability to import his sublime playing into wonderfully crafted songs. His brilliance lulls you to sleep.

That’s a pretty broad question especially given the nearly countless genres out there. I’ve always been partial to psychedelia, hard rock and metal. To that end:

Jimi Hendrix
Ted Nugent
Slash
Zakk Wylde

If you wanna see some great playing, you tube some of his appearances with Chet Atkins from the 80s. Just unreal

Sungha Jung and Tommy Emanuel are both very good.
