That's how I felt when I came across Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed performing "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess. The original is blues-operatic, but Chet and Jerry put their own jazz/funk spin on it.
Also of note is that Chet is playing a fretless guitar during that song. The fret markings are on the neck, but there are no actual metal frets.
The song starts at about 1:53.
There might some rare guitarists who are as good as Chet and Jerry, but there are none better.
