You'll never get a consistent answer on this. There's too many great players out there and of too many styles to narrow it down to just one, or even just one in any category. Some people will prefer to list the better technical players and others will list the ones they feel play with the most emotion. Someone will say Yngwie but then someone else will say all Yngwie's stuff sounds the same and has no feeling. And someone else would probably say Kurt Cobain and many would comment on his missing technical skills. And others would just stick with the classic players such as Hendrix and Clapton. No one will ever agree on just one person or even several people so it is basically a pointless question. Why not just ask who is everyone's favorite player? In which case mine would be Steve Vai.
