WOW, this is gonna be hard to give a best answer too.
I will def listen to Ingvie Malsteen (however it's spelled LOL)
I did forget the two YES guys, I agree. I love Chris Squire, his Fish out of Water CD is great.
I have a Michael Schenker CD, but I just can't get past his vocals. I'll try listenin again. Leif is good, two of my fav songs are the Trees and Villa la Strangiato.
Is McGlaughlin jazz? I'm not a big fan of jazz, too frenetic for me. I think I'll just take your word for it. :)
Hey, I just remembered another:
Al Dimeola (jazz)
Keep watchin this post, I may forego the 3 pnts and let you guys pick best answer.

Premium Jams (dbl Cd rock/blues)
220 (rock/blues)
Master and the Musician (classical)

Freehand (acoustic)

slash, john 5, b.b.king, buddy guy, robin trower, dave navarro, carlos santana,brad paisley(sorry bout the country), billy gibbons, ron wood, edge, wes montgomery, george benson, yngwie malmsteen, john mclaughlin, allan holdsworth, zakk wylde
that pretty much racks my brain - I can't say I like all these guys but they all make some kind of contribution to the instrument

HOW can you call yourself a true snob if you've only barely got any prog rockers on the list??! ;)
STEVE HOWE & Chris Squire of Yes.
Now there go 2 highbrow virtuosos!
As for your list:
1 hendrix YES!
2 trey anastasio Yes
3 phil keaggy the name is fvaguely familiar
4 eric clapton Yes
5 stevie ray vaughn Yes
6 jimmy page Hmm, I love him, but many guitarists are well aware he's a pretty sloppy player. Inventive as hell, but a bit sloppy. Though for straight on rock, that's ok.
7 segovia (classical) Yes
8 leo kottke (12 string) Yes (& Ledbelly)
9 jeff beck Yes
10 joe satriani Yes

Since I actually met Stevie Ray Vaughn- he is much higher on the list. I dig most of yours as well.
Carlos Santana is one of my favorites.
Muddy Waters as well.
