People have already mentioned so many good ones...
Like InaWord mentioned, Alex Skolnick...and some others--
Akira Takasaki (from the Japanese band Loudness)
Yngwie Malmsteen
John 5 (Manson and Rob Zombie)
Dave Mustaine (very underrated)
Marty Friedman
Uncle Ted
Jake E Lee
Randy Rhoads
George Lynch
Kyle Gass!
And a couple that kind of go unnoticed because they don't really show it in the songs...John Mayer (it pains me) and Brad Paisley

"...so if man is 5 and the devil is 6 then that must make me 7...this heartbeat's gone to heaven..."
One supreme talent not mentioned yet is Mick Taylor. I think the Stones best years were from 69-74 when Taylor and Keef made up one hell of a duo.
Even though I'm not a country fan keith urban can flat out play too.
Also, youtube andy mckee. Not a shredder but just a unique playing style.

If you just youtube videos of him of his solo's and such are amazing. Very innovative.
I can agree with a lot of the names thrown around here and it is all your personal taste so I respect that from all of you.

It really comes down to style. For example, Stanley Jordan is an amazing guitarist who uses both hands to play strings at the same time (amazing to watch). Joe Satriani is another amazing guitarist that is mesmerizing to watch. Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of the top blues guitarists. When it comes to jazz I love George Benson. Overall, one of my favs is Eric Clapton. A rocker that is impressive is Journey's Neal Schon. He started playing with Santana at about age 16 playing on Santana III.
Wow no mention of Angus Young. The dude puts on one helluva show. The guy must take around a dozen bottles of 5 Hour Energy before each show.
