Guthrie Govan is probably the most well rounded and complete guitar player of all time.
Sadly, he's probably one of the least well known 'virtuosos'. Musicians of the future will look back and wonder how such a talented player slipped under the radar for most guitarists.

Marco Sfogli is another incredible player who is overlooked a great deal (he plays with James Labrie's solo band).
Wonderful phrasing and vibrato.

Too many great players to have a favourite though.

Fail, Roger Waters was the bassist. I believe you mean David Gilmour .

I'll go with
#1 Jimi Hendrix
#2 Mark Knopfler
#3 Jimmy Page
#4 BB King
#5 Eric Clapton

Something along those lines.

Also Bireli Lagrène and Sylvain Luc are pretty good

Jari is a beast player, but a godly composer (and a unique vocalist). This is a poor example of his talent

This discussion is pointless in many ways, by the way. It's like asking: who is the better piano player, Sviatoslav Richter, Ludwig van Beethoven, Thelonious Monk, Keith Emerson or [random virtuoso player from China]. Let's say in this example it's Beethoven that composed a piece, Richter that set the standard for interpretation, the random person from China will be unknown but technically flawless, and then Keith Emerson and Thelonious Monk play in completely different genres where they are the only ones that compose and perform a certain piece, meaning there is no good comparison. Maybe you could compare Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman and prefer one, but even then you're comparing if you prefer Yes or ELP.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

The title says "favorite", not "best".

ahh great to see some recognition for Thomas Erak and Fall of Troy. Great music. Weird/Different. Nontheless awesome.

I love progressive music. Music that always changes and is in constant motion. Like a controlled and systematic chaos. You never know where is going to end. Its just a dramatic turn of events that will rock your world. It doesnt always stays on the same train of thought and by listening to it you learn that not everything its just images and words. Its also music.

John Petrucci from Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment.
I also love Paul Waggoner from Between the Buried And Me.
Listen to them. They speka for themselves. You wont regret it.

And while Jordan Rudess isnt a guitarist (pianist), I consider him one of the best musicians of the modern times.

Shawn Lane, Allan Holdsworth, Pat Metheny.

Those 3 are best.

For electric they are. When it comes to acoustic I don't know enough. But I rate Al di Meola and Bireli Lagrene highly there.

Some players I really like to go back to a lot are Yngwie Malmsteen and Paul Gilbert. I also think Steve Morse and Tony MacAlpine are underrated and musically very intelligent players with a strong own style but diverse abilities.

I've been listening to alot of Little Tybee with Josh Martin lately he has really unique techniques that I've never seen before, he just does his own thing I guess.
