This is a hard question for me as there are many musicians that could fit into this category. But if I have to pick only one it would be Frank Zappa because of his music knowledge. He could write his famous off the cuff stuff (The Mothers of Invention), to jazz to classical. He was a genius.

A close second would be either Wes Montgomery or Johnny Smith because of their technical guitar chops.
