Originally posted by jamesp Micheal Hedges w/o question. But if I had to pick a living guitarist it'd be Pierre Bensusan. Not sayin' they're "the Best", just my personal favs. +1 to both Bensusan and Hedges. There's a fingerstyle guitarist named Pat Kirtley, saw him at a Taylor clinic a few years ago, plays bluegrass and Celtic music. He was absolutely amazing. There's a dvd called Blarney Pilgrim: Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar 2 and he's on it, worth a rent (can find it on Netflix). Bensusan is on the dvd too Paul Simon is also one of my favorites. Tim Reynolds/Matthews Willie Nelson Keb Mo to name a few more
