Yep. I think your list is right.
Well, mine is this...
Brian May
Jimi Hendrix
George Harrison

Linda of the valley, that was a smart assed post and really unnecessary.

Zakk Wylde's a great guitar player, but I'm tempted to take points off because of what an ass he is.

Anyway, some additions (forgive if they've already been mentioned), most of which are a little unorthodox. every time we have a topic like this, it always seems to end with me and about six other people going for each others' throats, so I'm going to try to stay civil this time.

Eric Clapton - Cream
Tom Morello - Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave
Peter Buck - REM
Harry Chapin
Billy Zoom - X
Kim Thayil - Soundgarden
Jerry Cantrell - Alice in Chains
Eric Erlandson - Hole
Paul Simon - Simon & Garfunkel
TODD RUNDGREN!!! - Meat Loaf's guy, solo
That girl whose name I can't remember from L7
MIKE MCCREADY!!! - Pearl Jam
STONE GOSSARD!!! - also Pearl Jam
Dave Hill - Slade
East Bay Ray - Dead Kennedys

Mine are....

Brian May (obviously)
Jimi Hendrix
Adrian Smith
Angus Young (okay, pretty good)
Slash

Oh s**t i also forgot to add Joe Satriani.

He's a terrific guitarist. I also think Dave Murrey is a good guitarist.

Let us not forget Steavie Ray Vaughan!

Brian May. He is just a one-off and, to me, a legend. He does quality guitar solos that too me no one else can do or even no where can ever go near as good as Brian.

The terror twins Steve Clark and Phil Collen are the best closely followed by the legend Brian May.

Hmm, yes. Forgot to look at your name then, didn't you...

Yeah Joe' great, along with Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen, Janick Gers (Iron Maiden), Dan Hawkins, (everyone's said all the others!)

Everyone forgot to mention Gary Moore! He's one of my favourites. Though I think Brian is better anyway :)

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Dan Hawkins. He's pretty amzing sometimes.
