Django Reinhart.
His guitar isn't electric but his performance is.

I'd also add..

Jimmy Page
Nile Rodgers
Roger McGuinn
Kevin Shields
Robin Guthrie
Tony Iommi
Keith Levene
John McGeogh
Graham Coxon
shields and levene for sure!
and coxon doesnt get the props he deserves so definitely a good call there!
did you see his "that pedal show" interview? plays some of the crazy shit from early on, some interesting techniques!
Yes, Coxon song 2 By Blur, and especially his 'Freakin out' track, I love that song.
I agree with you he doesn't get the props he deserves.

i love him!!! well musically, didnt know him personally.
ok, perhaps not everything, surprisingly, his batman, not a fan

saw him live a couple of times, he knew how to entertain thats for sure! sadly they were both from squiggle(tafkap) onwards so i didnt see him with wendy and lisa/npg or the really great stuff. although obviously the hits got played. but with a bit if the later, less awesome stuff

a great loss though.

Yes, an unnecessary loss. He just never did anything for me, but I haven't listened to a lot of his stuff. His image put me off. First thing I saw him do was covering While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and while I was impressed with his technical skills, he completely played roughshod over the song. It's not WHILE MY GUITAR WILDLY SHREDS. But I recognize his skill, if not his ability to play to the song, at least in that instance, where he seemed to feel the need to show off.

Albert Collins--does he lose points for using a capo?
