Rodrigo y Gabriella - both excellent guitarists, but I'd probably pick Gabriella's jaw-droppingly stunning rhythm playing

Well, along with Townsend, he's the king of Rhythm Guitar. Plus, listen to Sympathy for the Devil.

Buckethead's playing is accomplished but kinda just sits there, like he wishes he weren't even playing.

Michael Schenker
Buddy Guy
Randy Rhoads
Johnny Winter
Uli Jon Roth
..and the 'Unknown' John Clark

Neil Schon, John Cipolina, Johnny Ramone (he pioneered the art of 3 chotrd songs, admit you love him) and Robert Cray for blues.
 
But above all, Jeff freaking Beck!

This video of Jeff is hilarious.  I wonder if Christopher Guest watched it before going into Spinal Tap...

Of the ones listed Pete, then Keith, the Jimmy.

Although I probably should have gone with other.
