Robert Jonhson and about 50 other delta blues players. Chet Atkins, Doc Watson, and about 1000 other country/bluegrass pickers.

And, oh yea, just about every classical guitarist ever born.

     Actually, Hendrix should be on his own list because no one on the list below him is even in the same galaxy with him. Even today, 30+ years after his death, there's no on that even comes close to him.

Di Meola live performance is so good that he could be aswell playing playback. ;)

I love the Paco&John&Meola Live Mediterranean Sundance. Its just unbelievable. They dont need no picks, bends or FX, just pure strings. You can even find that tabulature from Mysongbook.com, if somebody plays guitar _very_ well in here, insane difficulty guaranteed.

I got to see Al Dimeola last year with another flamenco guitarist from Cuba who's name escapes me at the moment. They each did their own sets and then got together and it was great.      
     You're right Tuomio, guys like Dimeola don't need to bend or use electronics. He's so quick and precise it's unbelievable. Quite the show live.

Yeah Eric Johnson.
I think there styles were very different.
I think SRV was more traditional blues.
More Of what he idolised Albert King and the such.

Noy I do Like Erick Johnson and he Is a master guitarist no doubt.
But now a blues man like SRV:aok
