    Mathew Bellamy? Granted part of the reason he's great is because he can also play piano and sing like the best but still

    Difficult to put in order as so many styles;

    Hendrix
    Steve Vai
    Ritchie Blackmore
    Jimmy Page
    Dave Edmunds
    Mick Ronson
    Rory Gallagher
    Gary Moore
    Carlos Santana
    Peter Green

    That's 10 and I could name another 10 in the same class...

    Surprisingly Clapton isn't as highly rated as many think, he'd make my top 20, just...

    Frusciante is a must. He can blow your mind with just 3 or 4 notes. Mike McCready of pearl jam also.
