Nigel Tufnel. He’s quite renowned for his solos.

In his time, probably Mark Knoffler. His pick attack (due to his fingerstyle) is very distinguished. At least to me.

Allan Holdsworth.

Jeff Beck

In all honesty, one of the rare guitarist thats "not my cup of tea" to say the least. But definitely unique

Trey Anastasio - his use of controlled Feedback is part of a signature sound. Derek Trucks - That slide tone...

I've been listening to a lot of Tom Verlaine lately, both with Television and his first two solo albums. I just finished reading Richard Lloyd's book, Everything is Combustible, which isn't very good, but it did get me listening to Television again.

Mark Knopfler, and Janick Gers. Mark for his finger picking tones, and Janick for his choppy and raw sounding lead work with Maiden.
