I defiantly agree with Neil Young.
Jimi Hendrix is also up there, along with Tom. S. Englund from the Evergrey.

Tom is amazing, but I think the duo of him and Henrik Danhage is much stronger.
Zingoleb:
Tommy Emmanuel
Angelina

David Gilmour is the biggest influence on me, mainly because he taught me that you don't need to play fast to play well and that melody is important.
Graham Coxon does some crazy things with his guitars and so is a large influence. Also one of the first I saw playing a black Telecaster, which I wanted since then.
Larry Hibbitt, the second Telecaster Messiah, fucks around with his tunings so much and his interplay with the other guitarist in Hundred Reasons is an example of a guitarist who plays what is necessary for the song, not what is necessary for their own ego.
Sonic Youth also fuck about with their guitars and effects and a LOT of feedback, which I like.

Ah, I remembered a local guy who impresses the hell out of me: Rob Hinkal of ilyAIMY. He does some amazingly fast stuff with acoustic guitars. If you're in the Baltimore/DC area, ilyAIMY's probably playing an open mic or small venue near you in the next few months. Check 'em out, they're well worth it.
