The best living guitar player

Adrian Belew may be the best living guitar player. OK--I've checked and it's official. The guitar seems to move him--it comes to life and plays the player. One of the best shows I have ever seen was his Inner Revolution tour at the Barrymore in Madison. We had front row seats and watched as the music smiled on us. The highlight for me that evening was The Rail Song. Of course you can catch Adrian with King Crimson as well these days. There you can see the perfect compliment to Adrian in Robert Fripp who seems to will the guitar, while the guitar wills Adrian. Here is a clip that just belew me away.

Who is the best dead guitar player?

To make it harder: you can't say "Hendrix."
