Michael Hedges. Saw him live a couple of times. Had a different style and sound than anyone else I have ever heard.
Everyone should check this out. It isn't that long. The song doesn't start until about the 2:30 mark. It is really incredible what he could do with this "Harp Guitar". When I saw him in concert he would even slap the beads in his hair against his guitar as an added percussion element.

He did a lot of cover songs of The Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and even Shelia E. But he would always tweak the arrangemnet,
This is probably his most famous song "Ariel Boundries". Really captures his style

Lot's of great "shredders" in this thread, but if you really want to hear someone with a completely different sound check him out. Here is his version of "All Along the Watchtower".
