Best guitarist of all time. (listen, Doors)

You will probably laugh at me, but: This guy is more than just an excellent guitarist (and underrated), but is a master of a number of instruments:

Prince.

Monte Montgomery is probably one of the best I've ever heard. I LOVE all the big guys (Jimi, Stevie, etc.) but this guy does things on an acoustic guitar that you've never seen.

YES! He's one of the most talented musicians alive.

I have a number of favorites...Jimi Hendrix is only one of them.

I'm gonna throw Buckethead's name into the mix.

[superk]

OK, so I'm making up a mix, and I'm thinking about adding one track each of the very best track from a guitarist and/or instrumental group. So far, I've come up with this list. Any suggestions for an artist or track I might have missed?

The Messiah Will Come Again from Gary Moore.
Nottingham Lace from Buckethead.
Hocus Pocus from Focus.
Fanfare for the Common Man from ELP.
Jessica from Steve Morse.
Spank It from Greg Koch.
Blue Wind from Jeff Beck.
Andalusia from Joe Satriani.
Glasgow Kiss from John Petrucci.
Ripped from Marty Friedman.
Miller's Atomic Mood Swing from Neil Zaza.
Mr. Sambo from Richie Sambora.
Sidewinder from Ronnie Montrose.
La Villa Strangiato from Rush.
Native Stepson from Sonny Landreth.
Small Arms Fire from Steve Stevens.
Iced Over from SRV.
Becky from Quinn Keon.
Farm Fiddlin' from Zakk Wylde.

I can think of quite a few . . . in no particular order of preference . . .

Michael Bloomfield with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, "East-West" and "I Got a Mind to Give Up Livin'"
Michael Bloomfield and Friends, "Carmelita Skiffle" (from the reissued Live at Bill Graham's Fillmore West 1969) and "Winter Country Blues"

Wes Montgomery, "Bumpin'" and "Caravan"
Peter Green with John Mayall's Blues Breakers, "The Super-Natural"
Freddie King, "Hideaway" and "The Stumble"
Albert Collins, "Frosty" and "Don't Lose Your Cool"

Jimi Hendrix, "Voodoo Chile" (the slow blues jam with members of Traffic and with Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane for Electric Ladyland, not "Voodoo Chile [Slight Return]") and "I Don't Live Today"
