One that comes to mind because of his unusual self taught playing style (somewhat similar to Jordan) is the late Jeff Healy.

All I could think of when you said freak of nature was Stanley Jordan. Saw him up close at Tipitinas in N'Orleans in '97. Some people are just given insane gifts.

There are only two mantras. Yum and yuk. Mine's yum.
Still alive and on Tour now. Joe Bonamassa. Great show. Nice guy.
Woke up dreaming, acoustic, the volume and percussive effect he gets for some reason this song sticks in my head for days. I think he is even playing it better now, if ya get the chance go see him, trust me.

although I think Atkins and Zappa are great, they are not freak of nature/virtuoso types
case in point:

(the 4 fingered tap stuff is ridiculous)
now I know some of you guys may watch that and be like oh thats a bunch of shredding with no feeling at all
but then watch this:

This guy "Shreds" better than Bucketface.
For real !
I mean being it was 30 years ago,anyway.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOGiW-y-Vhs
Acoustic too.
The 30 second mark hes playing just as fast as BucketBrains fingerstyle....
That Buckethead clip was tremendous.
I gotta check him out.
Chet Atkins is a freak o nature though.
Just because he takes it slow sometimes doesnt mean he cant "Shred"
I think they call it melody ...
