Here goes (I think all these are still alive):

• Ry Cooder
• Leo Kottke
• Tinsley Ellis
• Allan Holdsworth
• Scotty Moore
• David Lindley
• Mike Keneally
• Steve Vai
• Alvin Youngblood Hart

Special mention: Tommy Emmanuel. I don't know his stuff at all, but there was a programme about him on the World Service a while back, and I was blown away by his beautiful playing.
