    I thought this was rock guitarists. . .



    Easily: John Petrucci. I can't think of any pure-rock guitarists with as good a library of riffs and solos as his.

    Nice list yourself! Nashville Pussy rocks. One of the better shows I've seen in the last few years was Nashville Pussy opening for The Reverend Horton Heat. I too could go on for days listing guitar players.

    Good guitarist. But not legendary. I'll give you props since I'm an old school punk. Check out his work with Iggy Pop (worked with Iggy on Blah, Blah, Blah & Instinct) and the Avengers (played guitar on their studio stuff).

    Two more great guitarists from the seventies:

    Barry Bailey and J.R. Cobb of the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

    Great southern rock & roll.
