Joe Pass
Danny Gatton
Django Reinhardt
Kenny Burrell
Carlos Santana
Johnny Charles (but only 'cuz Stevie Ray has passed)
Robert Crotty
Johnny Hiland

.....not in any particular order....and with total disregard for the provided list...Is anybody going to start a Top Ten Guitar Solos thread? Interestingly, some of my favorite solos, and the ones that bring me to my knees in a paroxysm of air-guitar ecstacy, are not played by my favorite guitarists.
 
I didnt see George Lynch (Dokken) mentioned, or Vivian Campbell (DIO).. Back in my rock band days those two were probably my favorite shredders.. Paris is Burning from Lynch, and the solo from Rainbow in the Dark by Campbell are just plain ole badass!!

It's too bad Vivian swore off metal all together when he joined the wussified "Def Lepard":rolleyes:

No one has mentioned Michael Schenker, lead guitar for UFO. If you have never heard of him, get the Essential UFO album, great album. He was an extreme head case which is why he and UFO never became hugely famous but they had the talent to be megastars. His brother (Rudolf Schenker) plays lead guitar for the Scorpions and is no slouch himself. Those are probably my two favorite bands.
 
In no particular order:

Dick Wagner
Steve Hunter
Chet Atkins
Ritchie Blackmore
Roman Saenko
Karl Sanders
Glen Tipton
Jeff Beck
The Edge
Samantha Escarbe

Alvin Lee still tours, I found a ticket from a concert I went to in the early 80s, paid $8 to see him in the Calderone Concert Hall in Long Island NY, he played non stop, no intermission for four hours, 11 encores, he was still playin' as we got to the parkin' lot, one of the top ten concerts of my life.:D
