One that I’m suprised was both missed here and on The Rolling Stone list was Allan Holdsworth
Maybe the most advanced player to ever pick up the guitar, Guthrie Govan before Guthrie Govan. While he didn’t play all different styles like Guthrie, Howe, or other fusion players, he created his own world in music that has influenced countless players, from Eddie Van Halen to Shawn Lane to Tom Morello to John Petrucci and so many more. The most advanced harmonic language I’ve ever heard on guitar, and was still able to make that language feel emotive and beautiful in a way that many fast players never could.
Allan Holdsworth’s contributions to electric guitar are often overlooked, but he is just as responsible for how far the guitar has advanced as players like Eddie and Hendrix are. An absolute legend of the instrument, and his passing is a void in the music world that will never be filled. Rest in peace Allan

Peter Green - I mean really, he wrote and played some of the most influential and memorable music imo. And created a guitar tone that defined his genre.
Greg Howe, is a guitar wizard. If Victor Wooten wants to play with you, then your one of the greatest.
Scott Henderson, a fantastic player and educators. No one beats him in phrasing, feel, jazz, and Texas Blues. He is tremendously versatile.
I think that i should also mention the guy from Cosmo Squad in the 90's end early '00. Sorry don't know his name 😅.
And , Josh Smith!!!

Brian Setzer, Stanley Jordan, Jeff Healey, Phil Keaggy, Bucky and John Pizzarelli, Joscho Stephan and other jazz players in general. The fact that people forget them when discussing this list makes them even more underrated. Also since you brought up Mick Goodrick, might as well talk about Ted Greene too and Marcus King since Billy Strings was mentioned

Chuck Schuldiner.
1. invented death metal
2. perfected death metal
3. was influential in starting technical death metal
4. perfected technical death metal.
Something also needs to be said for his incredible skill in being a frontman, singer, lyricist and composer. His riffs are catchy, groovy, one of the best death metal let alone metal writers ever. Death's discography has no bad albums. A feat almost no other band has completed. He was gone too soon.

So glad you mentioned Robin Trower, I had the privilege of seeing him in concert in 1985, it was one of the most memorable shows I've ever attended. Such a fabulous, soulful guitarist. Another couple of names shamelessly left off that list are Michael Schenker (Scorpions/UFO/MSG/McCauley-Schenker Group) and Steven Rothery of Marillion. Both players are opposites of each other, but they are so in-the-pocket and they play parts that make the song the most important thing.
