A lot are mentioning Clapton but none mentioning JJ Cale.
@gdboogietime74 ahhh the late great JJ.
I've had the pleasure of hearing a number of great guitar players in person.
It would be difficult to think of one more influential than Merle Travis (with the possible exception of Chet Atkins). Doc Watson definitely earned his status a legendary bluegrass picker.
Leo Kottke, Laurence Juber, Pepino d'Agustino, and Pierre Bensusan are/were amazing.
There are plenty of others that I am forgetting.
As far as the most amazing technical playing I have ever seen, that would be Musashi Suzuki (look him up).
But my personal favorite is probably Richard Thompson.

Tommy Emmanuel for technical, no?
@gdboogietime74, I saw Musashi Suzuki play in Long Beach. It was a small crowd, but there were a number of really good guitar players there. I lost count of the number of jaws on the floor. Not only was he pristine technically, he also played with amazing feeling. And he did this in multiple genres.
I hope he comes back from Japan sometime soon.
Too many to name just one!

Oops, meant to love Angus Young on comment below.
Terry Kath of Chicago. The only guitarist Jimmy Hendrix ever said was better than him.

Me, but I can't play anymore. Just kidding. There have been many in all genres, but the ones who come immediately to mind are Clapton, Hendrix, Van Halen, B.B. King, Zappa, and Hooker. There are many more.
