I'd put Randy California on that list, he's do some influential things with a guitar in late 60s/early 70s with Spirit

When I saw Kim Mitchell here I knew it had to be a canadian that started the thread ...

Richard Thompson is a fantastic guitar player. I love his electric and acoustic playing and often try to play his songs myself. I never come close...

I think Roeser just needs to find those old platform shoes for a boost

I vote for "Buck Dharma"
But I love the Twin guitar of Wishbone Ash (one of my preferred bands on PA):
- Andy Powell / guitar, vocals
- Ted Turner / guitar, vocals

Ritchie Blackmore. I mean, yeah, we all say he's awesome, but I don't think we feel it.

Groundhogs Prog-Related?
Not really, they're more a hard-rockin' blues band - and a damned good one, so I vote for Tony McPhee, since he's in this poll and he's great.

Randy California from Spirit. He was originally asked to apart of the Jimi Hendrix Experience but was too young to travel to England for try outs.
He played on Hammill's The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage.

Other - Ian Crichton from Saga (never understood the prog-related label for Saga, but that's another story)
One of the most original guitarist I've heard, and a VERY competent one at that.
