A good list.
If it were longer I would add Keith Richards, but then I would stop.

maybelle carter played the guitar before it was amped , which because so weak was often avoided by band musisuans who played louder instruments, horns , banjos and fiddles of the era.. maybelle carter was therefore a true pioneer on the guitar , indeed many aspiring players who came later started out on her wild wood flower lick.

If we're talking musically influential, Frank Zappa has to be on that list.

5. Duane Allman No doubt. Duane's style incorporated American music in its entirety. And many did he play with soul.
Honorable mention to Jesse Ed Davis, who inspired Duane to play slide. Listen to Taj Mahal's first few albums for examples of Davis' prowess.

Five is far too short - there are a few others who are just as important:
Wes Montgomery: Seems like every jazz guitarist steals his octave technique.
Dick Dale: Surf king - generations have copied him.
Yngwie Malmsteen: Tens of thousands of neo-classical shredders owe him their careers.
Andres Segovia: Because he's Segovia.
Eric Clapton: Made blues guitar soloing into a standard 60's/70's rock idiom.

I don’t hear too much of those guitarists’ styles in a lot of music these days. I’ve heard more of the style of Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, even Mick Box of Uriah Heep in a lot of music.
