I thought about it, but I can't single out one.
Every time read GP, I see names that are new to me. I check some of them out on youtube. Every time, it's a great player.
So I started thinking about players who really changed the way the instrument is played.
Since I don't follow all styles of music/guitar, there are some I don't know.
In American jazz, the names that come to mind are Eddie Lang, Charlie Christian, Wes and Django (at least for a certain group of musicians). I suspect there are glaring omissions from different eras.
In rock, Hendrix, Van Halen, maybe Clapton, maybe Santana. I wonder about the influence of Link Wray, but I wasn't around for that and haven't read enough.
Thoughts? Who else has changed the way the guitar is played?

I should start making them up and putting up fraudulent Wikipedia pages.
-
Roy Wood comes to mind, leader of the Move, Wizzard, etc. Is that him doing the Django imitation on "French Perfume"? Or check out the classical medley on the long version of Cherry Blossom Clinic.
-
Love Halsall's playing on the Rutles records.
-
how much were/are Cal Collins and Ron Eschete appreciated outside a few jazz aficionados...for me, just as good as it gets
-
I liked Garry Roberts of The Boomtown Rats. (I liked this whole album. The "hit" was "I Don't Like Mondays" but there are several strong songs on the album and the sequencing of them is excellent.)
-
Larry Campbell.
Jimmy Herring.
In an odd way even Bob Weir (if only due to standing next to Garcia and Lesh for a few decades), whose playing is just unique but perhaps unique to the point that he has influenced few.

[QUOTE=Cunamara;897537]Larry Campbell.
i'm going to have to play my trump card on your Big River post - Guthrie Trap/Robert's Western World - so tasty. My cover money would be to hear Guthrie any day over Mr. C. Plus it's the right key.

here is a player that isn't Know as well as he should be. Who was the guitar player for the E street Band but was also a Guitarist for Crazy Horse. Helped Neal Young on some Lps. Nels Lofgrin.
