Well, I don't generally rank them... but there's one certainty:

1. John Frusciante

... and the rest:

Buckethead
Jerry Cantrell
Dimebag
Paul Gilbert
Dave Gilmour
Tom Morello
Slash
EVH
Randy Rhoads

And Synyster Gates? Hahaha, don't make me laugh - he's living proof that being able to sweep pick and all that bollocks doesn't make you even remotely interesting.

That was a good bump. Not a bad idea to resurrect this thread.

Jason Becker
Shawn Lane
Jimi Hendrix

...and the rest. :D

Steve Vai, Marty Friedman, Al di Meola, Paul Gilbert (the best rock guitarst around today), Gary Moore, John Petrucci. I'll reserve the 10th space for whoever I forgot, that I will end up beating myself over. It always happens when I make a top 10 that I forget someone really important.

You got taste, noodle. Now get rid of those EMGs and you'll have taste in tone too.

i'm getting a piece of this action, 10 is quite a high number... so don't expect these to be in order:

brian tatler
pete townshend
tony iommi
kk downing
rudolf schenker
michael schenker
john sykes
steve jones
malcom young
albert king

quite a few rhythm players and flying v players on my list. i'm sure with more thought i'd change this list a bit and add/remove players. i'm already tempted to add richie blackmore to this list in fact...
