A most enigmatic guitar player

@stuartk , among John Abercrombie's albums with Dan Wall, I like "Speak of the Devil", but even this one is not my favorite. Neither I  like his synth solos and the combination of Wall's keyboards with Abercrombie's guitar on these albums too much. You may like his acoustic recordings with Towner. He also has a nice album with John Scofield. 

Ginger Baker's "Coward of the County" is not bad, thanks for letting us kno​w. His drums and the rhythm section sounds solid in this album. Besides, I appreciate a classical rock artist making a purely jazz album!  

I did not​ know about Adam Rogers. I did not like​his "non-jazz" albums​  too much, but his four jazz albums I found on Tidal are ok to me. ​T​hough I did not see him having his own style. He basically playe​s as Pat Matheny does in his jazz albums (e.g., in 99->00 Trio). 

How about this for a change. No, not the most enigmatic guitar player.

Enigma?  Buckethead

For me, it is without a doubt, Allan Holdsworth. 

Not only is his technique as good as it gets, but his unique approach to chords is unrivaled. 

He sounds like no one else. There have been quite a few players influenced by him, and his legato style, but despite that, he still sounds highly unique. 

I saw  @yyzsantabarbara mention Matteo Mancuso. A great player. But take a look at who he says was his biggest influence.

As a good friend of mine, a top studio musician here in L.A, once said this about Holdsworth:

"For me, Allan Holdsworth was the most innovative improviser of all time on ANY instrument. The great jazz soloists (McCoy, Brecker, Freddie Hubbard, Trane, etc.), all had predecessors on their respective instruments that they copped licks from and modified with their own voice. There clearly was no guitar lineage leading up to Allan’s approach. This freak landed ship with a completely new vocabulary not based on anything that was already established. No blues, pentatonics, bop, post-bop...NOTHING"

 Looking Glass

@inna ,The title of this thread starts with "A most ...", not with "The most..." , so everybody is welcome for new proposals. Yngwie Malmsteen (before unknown to me) proposes interesting interpretations/mixes of classical music with metal (in my opinion) and is more or less unique in this sense. (By the way, the video you linked in your post says that he plays Paganini, but it is Corelli.)

@oddiofyl , thanks for the input. I enjoyed Buckethead. 

 @simonmoon , thanks for reminding me about Allan Holdsworth. I have known him since the late 70s. He was a key performer in British Rock band UK. ​I think he is ​a significant guitar player. But I would not quite agree with your Friend's comments. For me,  ​h​e has is a notable influence of Steve Hacket (another great artist whom I did not mention earlier in this thread!) and Robert Fripp (the founder of King Crimson together with GREG LAKE, my favorite rock artist, an outstanding ​composer, guitar/bass player and vocalist).
