Didn't see any mention of Paul Gilbert. I'm not a fan of Mr. Big but that guy can straight up shred and it always sounds so clean. It's incredible that Billy Sheehan can rip even harder than Paul.

Doc Watson is very good. Deep river blues is one of my favorites of his.

Great lists.

Not sure if this was mentioned. Probably not a top 5 but back in the early '90's thought he was going to be great. Anyone remember Kenny Wayne Shepherd? Saw him live with BB King. Had great promise at a young age.

Gotta say of all mentioned that live, Angus Young was just plain Bad Azz, boundless energy, got tired just watching him.

1. Jimi Hendrix - I can tell I am getting old when Hendrix does not absolutely dominate this list. Go back and watch his videos and listen to his albums. There is absolutely no one, including Page who is in his league!!

2. Jimmy Page
3. Eddie Van Halen
4. Randy Rhoads
5. Joe Perry
6. Richie Blackmore
7. Marty Friedman
8. Tony Iommi
9. Jeff Beck
10. Roy Clark - Yes, country pickin' Roy Clark was one the bad-arsed guitarists of all time!

[Cyclopskiller]

Pretty close to my list. I also think Dave Matthews, Trey Anastatio, Tim Reynolds, John Mayer, and Tom Morello need consideration.

How did I forget Tim Reynolds.. He's awesome!
