Great list going! It would be near perfect if you add Synyster Gates, Keith Urban (surprisingly), and Dave Grohl (He can kill it on drums and guitar)

The "normal" names have already been listed. Hendrix, Van Halen, Satriani, Clapton, Slash, Johnson, Vai, etc. I'll name one most don't ever talk about, and that is Richie Sambora. Guy is smooth, and while he may not be the very best, he is still damn good.
