You've see 'em mentioned in the mags, you recognise the name - but someone asks you to name a song, play in their style and ... nope..nada..
Steve Howe - I've heard Clap - but other than that I have no familiarity with him (see also Steve Hackett or any early 70s prog like Andy Latimer / Camel)
Richard Thompson - the guitarist's guitarist right? A complete blind spot in my knowledge
Otis Rush - blues right...after that...erm...
Clarence White - famous invention? ..but country right?
Mike Bloomfield - again blues... but ..
Elmore James
...she's got Dickie Davies eyes...

Nuno Bettencourt
John Petrucci
Steve Luthaker
Joe Satriani
All get mentioned here a fair bit but I have no idea about any of them
But then I am under 40
It's hard to think of famous names I'm totally clueless about, but I guess there would be quite a lot in the jazz, country, folk and classical fields. But then it also depends how you define "famous".
The rest, no idea. I'll also add I don't know who Ainsley Lister, Joe Bonamassa, Robin Trower or Robin Ford are, yet I see their names everywhere. Maybe my dad didn't have their CDs in when he was taking me to football training.
Them lads polyphia or periphery in fact both of those bands guitarists
John petrucci
Tosin asibasi
Nick someone who plays a schecter
Joe duplantier
John Mayer

Seems to be talked about alot but I'm not familiar with his work.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Ditto Robben Ford.
