1. Steve Vai
2. Joe Satriani
3. Robert Fripp
4. Frank Zappa
5. Al Di Meola
6. John Petrucci
7. Yngwie Malmsteen
8. Jason Becker
9. Jimi Hendrix
10. Steve Howe
thats my top ten list, ive put a great deal of thought into it, and those are the best, in my opinion of course
11. Stevie Ray Vaughan (I like him more for his voice than his guitar playing, there is just too much Hendrix in his work) What a great musician though.

^ I was fortunate to see SRV the tour before he died. He opened for Jeff Beck. You talk about a blues fest. SRV and JB played about a 20 minute encore together. What a night! I have seen JB three times and twice it was another great guitarist. The first was John Mclaughlin on the Visions of Emerald Beyond MO tour and Beck was touring on the Blow By Blow tour. Yes they jammed on a blue number for Beck's encore. The third time I saw him was with Jan Hammer.  JB might not be the fastest or technacly brilliant but his chops are tastyand I like his work with just about anyone.

He was in Embryo and other bands if I remember correctly and is quite excellent.

That's why it's familiar. Yes, I've heard a few Embryo songs and Bunka is an excellent player.

I found some info on his solo career and later collaborations on worldmusiccentral.org, interesting reading.

he is married to Korean audio artist Grace Yoon, for whose air plays he contributed the soundtracks. a very interesting project they (and a lot of other musicians, among them Holger Czukay of Can, Uli Bassenge of Embryo and Robert Fripp. Swiss avantgarde poet Ernst Jandl was also part of that project) took part in is "Die Goldberg Variationen" (not to be confused with the variations of the same name by J. S. Bach). a very interesting album, but only for those who understand German. full of strange humor and excellent music

I have one more guitartist who rarely if ever gets a mention, Michael
Rother. I love his unique sound in all works I've heard him in,
although on his later solo records, he delves into more electronics and
less guitar, still good nonetheless.

Here is one way to look at. Steve Howe is the only guitar player ever to be voted "Best Overall Guitarist" five years in a row by "Guitar Magazine".
He is also the only "rock" guitarist to be voted into the Guitar Guild or whatever it is. That was then, and this is now. I think Petrucci is one hell of a player as well. There are so many good players. It's just a matter of taste.
