Difficult one...

Billy Duffy (new Cult album is fantastic)
Eric Clapton (for his blues stuff)
Chris DeGarmo (mighty Ryche)

I can't make a list of a top whatever because I don't think there is a BEST guitarist in the world, different people are good at different styles. And I can definately not agree that the best guitarist in the world is Jimi Hendrix, he's a fantastic guitarist but people only say he's the best 'cause he's an icon. Many people who play guitar fantastically will never be discoverd. Also don't forget, a good guitarist doesn't need to make the music you like.

i agree that there isn't absolute best, but there are personal favourites.
mine would go:
slash (no one else puts so much emotion in his solos)
zakk wylde (well, that man is insane, love all of his work)
jimmy page (like duh )

1. Steve Lukather
2. Aldo Nova
3. Eddie Van Halen

Steve Lynch from Autograph and Bill Leverty from FireHouse are also very underrated.
