Actually, now that I think of it, there can never be one "most influential guitar player," not even for a certain type of music. Because not everyone is influenced in the same way, everybody has their own idol or someone who makes them want to pick up a guitar or something. Stevie Ray didn't even have an album until like '83 or something. So it's all personal opinion, he may be your most influential player, and Hendrix may the next guys, and maybe Les Paul is someone elses....its all relative to a single person.
