What Guitarist(s) Have You Seen Live The Most?

Luke Morley - known best as songwriter and lead guitarist of Thunder.
Kris Barras - Kris Barras Band, Supersonic Blues Machine, Hollow Souls.
Dave Whitchurch and Shiner - guitarists with a Welsh hard rock band called Those Damn Crows.
Alan Nimmo - lead singer and guitarist with King King.

All seen at least 10 times, some a lot more.

Honourable mention for Henry James of Robert Jon and The Wreck. Getting up there with the others and seeing them again in a couple of weeks.
 
I saw Lifeson once so, he would be the most that, anybody would know who he is. Between where I live and the cost, going to concerts doesn't work for me. Neil Denault is far and away the guitarist I've seen the most but, nobody would have a clue who he is.
 
As a band member/barfly I’ve seen some guitarists hundreds of times, although you have never heard of any of them. At the star level probably Bobby Weir. At the sideman level John Primer seemed to be on stage somewhere in about every other blues show I went to in Chicago in the 80s-90s.

Anybody non-local I've seen more than once was back in my teens when I was going to the Christian rock festivals. Sometimes I'll take a trip down that memory lane, some of the tunes hold up.
 
Back in the early days it was probably Toy Caldwell. Saw the MTB a lot in the 70s. More times than any other of the Southern Rockers.
In midlife bluegrass yrs it was probably Norman Blake. He lives close by and played a lot of festivals I attended or played at in the 80s & 90s.
In last 20+ years, either Richards/Woods, or Bruce/Steve/Nils, because the Mrs drags me to at least one show every Stones or Springsteen tour.
 
Steve Morse 7 times. 5 w/Purple. 1 Dregs. 1 SMB.
Michael Schenker 7 times. 1/UFO
Uli Roth 6 x(will be 7 in two weeks)
Dave 'unless you're a star or into Y & T' Meniketti 6x.
Paul Quinn Saxon 6x.

Like to see the Bob Mould love here. I've seen him a few times (I think twice) and will see him later on because we bought tickets to the Sugar reunion tour.
 
Besides around here I've seen in different bands for the last 30 years, Buddy Miller. Couple times with Emmylou, some with his wife, maybe a solo show or two, and maybe with some other act.
 
Of guitarsy guitar guys, Jeff Beck. I saw him three or four times.

Of guys who play guitar and front bands and who are “name” artists—probably Jeff Tweedy, Stephen Malkmus, Issac Brock, and/or Billy Corgan as I’ve seen their various bands and projects a bunch of times.

I’m envious that you guys have seen Steve Morse multiple times. I saw him play with the Trio once at a bar in Flagstaff, AZ while attending college at NAU during the 80’s.

I never got to see Deep Purple. A group of us sent money to one guy’s cousin in Phoenix, AZ to buy concert tickets. He supposedly bought the tickets, which were then sent to his mailbox, where the tickets got stolen. However, the guy’s cousin had a cocaine habit. I suspect the money went up his nose and we got a story about stolen tickets.

I'd have to put some thought into this for an accurate answer, but I think I've seen ZZ Top more than any other band. Not a dozen times, but probably 4 or 5 times. Behind that, there are several in the 3 - 4 times category; Jeff Beck, Steve Howe, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Joe Bonamassa and probably a few others I'm forgetting.
