Just thought of a couple more.{ Can't believe I overlooked them since I've opened for BOTH of Em'!} Lonnie Mack..Blues guitarist extrordinaire. He's been cited as an influence by such people as Stevie Ray, Keith Richards, and yes...Ted Nugent.
Rik Emmitt of "Triumph" He can play screaming Metal, melodic Pop, Blues, and Jazz with equal dexterity, and his playing runs much deeper than just his radio anthems with Triumph. {And since we're on Canadian guitarists..Alex Lifeson of "Rush"}
