Fortunate to have seen him live before he died.

So many .... for my second five I would go with:

Danny Gatton
Larry Campbell (check out his play on “Chest Fever” with Levon Helm)
Mick Ronson (like Keith Richards a huge influence on my playing)
Steve Cropper
Chris Whitley

And for added measure ...

Dave Mason
Ronnie Wood
Billy Duffy
Jimmy Vaughn
Hubert Sumlin

I've seen him perform live a few times. Once, the club manager let me go into the backstage area and I got to talk with him for a few minutes. It was a great experience.

Hmmm,

no Rory Gallagher? odd

How about Robin Trower?

Albert Collins, the Master of the Telecaster

Gary Moore

I know he is more known for his Big Band music, but Brian Setzer is a pretty damn good guitarist.
