james hetfield\kirk hammett
kenny hickey did some awesome stuff for type o negative

zakk wylde, for his unparalleled feel and vibrato.
george lynch, for the awesome soloing and wailing.
paul gilbert, for the mind boggling alternate picking and humourous soloing.
eric johnson, for playing the most beautiful shit known to man sometimes (esp clean).

Do you like John McLaughlin's stuff with Mahavishnu Orchestra? I really enjoy a lot of what I've heard. He has also done some amazing stuff with Santana.

Gilmour and Hendrix would be at the top of my list. I can't think of who else would make it at the moment.
