More recently, seeing guys like Per Nilsson and Ben Ellis of Scar Symmetry, Morgan from Bloodshot Dawn - they all have a similar thing of playing very uplifting melodic solos - deliberately going modal or relative major, and couple that with incredibly clean shredding and I just end up shaking my head in awe.
Actually with all 5 of them, every band member was rather good!

Pasquale Grasso, in NYC - Has lifted the craft of playing bebop guitar by several notches and he's barely begun.
Adam Rogers, at the 55 Bar in NYC - Played half a set of standards on a 335, then straps on an SG with paperclips on the strings, cranks his amp and delay and off we go into an insane space funk workout.
Jim Hall, on his last UK appearance - A legend and a hero.
Nelson Veras - Both in duo with Jonathan Kreisberg (another frightening guitarist) and just on Wednesday in Guildford leading a trio. His fluency with poly-rhythms, odd-meters and ability to spin idea after idea without apparent struggle is staggering.

After reading an interview with him in a very early guitarist magazine, I went to see Alan Murphy with SFX at The Cricketers Pub. Standing within a few feet of him in a small pub I was utterly floored. It was a mixture of exhilaration, and devastation because from that moment I felt I was nowhere as a player.
Then I became one of the "cassette recorder in a carrier bag tribe" that recorded the SFX gigs and obsessively tried to copy his playing.
