It's between Manuel and Fred. They are actually two of my all-time favorite guitarists. Today, I will pick Manuel, but it might just change tomorrow. Impossible to chose. Phenomenal musicians!

Hillage is great, especially his Green album and his work with Rachid Taha.

Out of those three: Fred Frith, I love his free improv stuff too.
Steve Hillage is amazing too, Gong is one of my favorite bands anyway.
Though Frith has been in both Henry Cow and Naked City, so as the Zorn and Cow fanatic, it gives him that preference.

Fred Frith for the Naked City work. Plus (of course!) Henry Cow.
