7. I can't pick a favorite, but Gilmour's solos on Time and Comfortably Numb put him on my list.

This is an inclusive list, not ranked;

David Gilmour
Carlos Santana
Dicky Betts
Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Page
Alvin Lee
Ritchie Blackmore
Stevie Ray Vaughan

I'm sure I forgot a few.

Best performances I saw live were Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) in 1975, and Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1990.
