I could make a list but it would be toooooo long! You must remember that Rolling Stones mag is “popular” vote. Not a reflection of actual talent! Didn’t read the whole thread but did anyone mention Chet Atkins? I am not country but a lot of country guitarists are phenomenal. Lucas Mann of rings of Saturn. Jared dines Djent guitarist! How about Michael Angelo, Chris impelleteri. Nuno bettencourt.

To name a few closer to the music I listen to mostly. The list is endless.
EDIT: The list above is basically a timeline of some inspiration over the 37 years of playing. There are a lot of holes in the list.

Yup. Candice is an amazing singer. Watched a few of their castle gigs on Youtube as well. This is the first tune I heard when I caught on to them a number of years ago.

Joe Satriani
Tony Iommi
KK Downing
Jimi Hendrix

Randy Rhoads
Not necessarily in that order and there are many more that are not as well known. For instance, Ricky Wilson of the B-52's before his unfortunate death in the mid 80's is someone who goes unnoticed.

That name totally slipped my mind. The slide work he does on a 12 string is really impressive.

Carlos Santana and Jamie Johnson and in my opinion Jamey Johnson can play some of the best cigar box and oil can guitars that you can find imo

Two guys who I really did not appreciate as a kid are Jerry Reed and Glen Campbell. Kind of my dad's style of music. But after picking up the guitar myself, I recognized what incredible guitar talent those guys had and how they made it look so effortless. All ten fingers at times doing something different. And they both could pick and sing at the same time. Chet Atkins level guitar talent but other talents as well.
