It’s interesting as my tastes have really shifted away from the guitar as a contributing instrument (such as Angus/Malcolm, Lifeson, Hendrix, Page, David Grissom) to guitar as the primary song vehicle.

Patterson Hood
Jeffrey Foucault
James McMurtry
Jon Dee Graham
Ben Nichols

Looking at this list there’s a high degree of overlap.
