YES letā€™s not forget Chet Atkins

Another over looked player & Great is Jeff Healy
See The Light LP is out of this world!!!
 
Django Reinhardt is obviously the best there ever was.

But there is also Joe Pass, Eddie Lang (hello!).

For blues I like Charlie Patton, Lemon Jefferson, Blind Wille McTell, Blind Blake, and the rest of the litany.

Reverend Gary Davis is also a contender with Django as the best I think.

God Bless

Jon Winterburn
 
I think Linsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac is to be considered among the best.
 
Here are my choices, in no particular order:

Glen Campbell
Willie Nelson (very simple style, but a great musician!)
George Benson

God Bless,
Gary

I havenā€™t heard much Eddie Lang who I think was primarily a rhythm acoustic player but I know he was pretty versatile. In that style, I would make the case that Eddie Condon had better chops.

If Pass must have had six fingers, Django was at the same level with only 2 workable digits.

Check out Rory Block if you like Blind Lemon et. al.

Ditto Willie Nelson. Miles Davis thought he could swing. Check out the CD Two Men with the Blues in which Willie plays with Wynton Marsalis.
 
Among some already mentionedā€¦

I would like to add, Dickey Betts
