Difficult question. I have lots of favourite guitarists - depending on my mood. Probably Bumblefoot at the moment, although Gilmour is usually featured somewhere at the top.

The lists above me contain some of the most accomplished guitarists in the world, so it's no wonder they're so loved ?
I'd include Tom Morello of RATM though. Mostly because I love RATM.
NorioDS
Satriani & Andy Timmons
I love a lot of guitarists but I'm heavy into my guitar instrumentals so these 2 top the lists by quite a margin!
Reinhardt
Kriss norris is one of my favourate, he plays in "Darkest Hour". And Oli Herbert from "All That Remains". Swheeet melodies ?
Wessel
My first guitar hero. Eddie Van Halen. His sound and style is just awesome.

Love it! Refreshing lack of false modesty there Rene. We should all like our own playing, but it's hard because of the shit hot players we tend to listen to ourselves. I'm hoping to make my own list some day (some days I do, but it rarely lasts for long).
Renesongs
IMO if you been playing for 20 years or more and you don't make it to your own favourite list then you either doing something wrong or are severely Catholic. ? Some of my favourite guitarists may not be as technically proficient or as experienced as myself but they still are my favourites.
LMinnie
We are modest arent we!! ?
Renesongs
I hope In time you will be in your own audience stealing your own chords ?
NorioDS
I'm definitely with Rene here! I wanted to play guitar so I could play cool bluesy licks and just generally enjoy making music and I've started doing that so, technically, I'm one of my favourite guitarists too!
Like, in my latest recording, I absolutely love the first minute or so ? After that, I kinda disown myself but, JA, it feels good to like what you've created enough to admire it as much as you admire some other artists.
Thanks for bringing some sense into the mix, Rene ?
LMinnie
I think most of us have experienced that feeling.
I come up with some rythm's and I can say that Ive sat back afterwards and thought "Holy shit that sounds good".
Reinhardt
I don't really listen 2 Inflames, but the lead tone is insane! Do any of u maybe know what gear the guy use?
Wessel
Inflames used Esp's for a long time but now they are playing Gibson. They used Peavy 5150 amps on most of their recordings. I have read on other forums that they use Line6 effects.
Martyr
My favorites are
Matthew Kiichi heafy (TRIVIUM)
James Root(Slipknot)
Kirk Hammett(Metallica)
John Petrucci(Dream Theater
i know the 1st 2 aren't exactly old players, but i still like 'em alot ?
