Danny was one of 'em !
Yes, he committed suicide over a decade ago. You asked the best EVER, not specifying still living, and he's still the best I've ever seen.

I only saw him live one time performing at the Jazz & Blues Festival at Wolftrap, but I will never, EVER forget it. The man was amazing.

I just couldnt remember if it was him that died.

I knew Danny from a mutual friend.
Saw him perform many times and hung out at his guitar shop.

Very cool.
And, in your opinion, they would be....

Too many to list but you can't compare a scale shredder like WeeWee Malmsteen to Jimi Hendrix (you spelled Jimi wrong!)
Eddie Van Halen and Jimi are great !
You missed Clapton, Page, Beck and so many others !
I've been a guitarist for 38 years, have you ?

Hendrix 'aint breathing!
and he's in the poll!
I'm a *little* partial towards jazz and blues guitarists, so I'll throw these names out: Pat Metheny, Wes Montgomery, Les Paul, George Benson, Larry Coryell, Lee Ritenour, Russ Freeman, John Scofield, Charlie Byrd, Earl Klugh, B.B. King, Robert Johnson...the list could go on and on...
In rock, I'd say Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Joe Satriani, Carlos Santana, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page are my top ones.
Again, most of it is a personal preference and some cross genres like Santana and Clapton but they're all great in their own way.

The boy and I were sitting here watching UTube videos and was watching different guitarist... I think sux2b44 was just throwing the names up to see what others thought - no more, no less...
I have played on and off for 20 (more off than on) - we had Wayne's World in our garage @ our first house! The neighbors loved me when I played Black Sabbath out of the 4x12!!!
- Man, I need to get back into it... I have to relearn it all over! Plus the boy wants to learn so what the hell right?If I had to pick one person to sit under and learn how to play like them it would be Zakk Wylde... he just seems to be in tune with himself and his music IMO.
