ehem .... well ... thanx guys ... you really made my day !!!!

I have a quite a few heros ...

one of my first was Richie Blackmore ... and then there was this Eddie guy that really blew my mind ... and Jimi of course ... .. they have one thing in common in my mind at least, and that is that they do more than "play" the guitar ... their guitar seems like an extended part of their body in some way ... everything just seems to come naturally to them .... and then there's this GOD of guitarists, Mr. Steve Vai. No one comes near him in musicallity and technique and (some might disagree with me here but ..) feeling !!! But one guitarist that has impressed me just because of his impeccable melodic playing and his span of styles he excels in is Steve Morse:

My vote would be Jack Pearson from Nashville.  I started a thread about him a while back.  He can play ripping slide, burn up the fretboard, play jazz like Wes, and then switch it up and Travis pick or play Delta blues on a an old National...all done with impeccable phrasing and taste.

Also one of the nicest guys in the business.

Easy peasey, this is how I like to see a guitar played!

btw, regarding Rory Gallagher, I have a confession - I had never heard of him until I started hanging out at this site - and I've been a reasonably attentive student of rock over the years, he has just never had a profile around my neck of the woods.  I kept seeing references to Rory Gallagher and thinking "Is there something about Oasis that I'm missing?"  Sad but true....

[Speed Demon]

Ron White rates in the Top Ten in my opinion.
