Not a great guitarist (especially now), but I did get to see Sixto Rodriguez (AKA Sugar Man) live, and he did play guitar.
You've seen some greats for sure!
Guthrie Govan is as good as anyone I've seen!
Some people might argue with the "greatness" of a couple of these, but...
Pete Townshend (including before Moonie died, and never without Entwhistle) - four times
Robert Fripp (only with KC) - five times
Steve Hackett - once with Genesis, three times solo
Roye Albrighton - once, alas
Dave Nelson - once
Martin Barre - twice
Ronnie Montrose - once solo, once with Gamma, once with the Tubes
Todd Rundgren - four times (three with Utopia)
Adrian Belew - once with Bowie, once with KC
Terry Kath - three times, including what turned out to be the last show he ever played
Trevor Rabin - once (never have seen Steve Howe live for some reason)
Alun Davies - once
Davy Johnstone - once
Tom Verlaine - once
Jim "Kimo" West - once
David Rhodes - three times
Jerry Garcia - twice
That's about all I can think of off hand
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Some of the most memorable were acoustic sets in small clubs or venues:
Steve Morse
Steve Howe
Martin Simpson
Eliot Fisk
Harvey Reid
Carlos Montoya
Al Di Meola
Geoff Muldaur
Jerry Douglas
Bruce Cockburn
and Steve Hahn / Rob Martino on Chapman Sticks
Not mentioned yet, (I think):
Jeff Healey
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
