Made it all the way through this...
Pretty sure if we named "everyone & anyone who ever played on a Steely Dan record" except Denny Dias who most notably soloed on "Do It Again" and "Boddisava" .
Would 2nd the Glenn Tillbrook from Squeeze mention, which triggers for me, Pete Ham of Badfinger. Their style depended very much on the guitar parts, well beyong the soloing, of which "Day after Day" has one of the most memorable of all (Harrison and he worked the parts out, but producer Rundgren says only Ham's parts were used).
Love "Django" Reinhardt and his style, of which the foremost practitioner has to be John Jorgenson. Saw him live not too long ago, and how he cleanly executes flurries and runs on nylon strings sound perfect. Also very good in Hellocasters... was Elton's touring guitarist in the 80's. Does Nashville session work. Also a brilliant jazz clarinetist in the Benny Goodman style. Pretty mean on sax too.
Surprised no one mentioned Alvin Lee. Fastest of the fast in the late 60's.
Dave Edmunds can pick with the best of them.
