ok being a musician...i may break the mold with what i am about to say...i may burn in hell for it but it's purely my opinion
Hendrix wasn't that great...he just did some weird things
this is my list of the top 10
1) joe satriani ( heck he has taught so many people to be great)
2) Steve vai ( student of Joe satriani, also played in alcatraz, david lee roth band, and frank zappa)
3) Frank zappa ( guitar genius, and musical god)
4) Jeff Beck ( listen to his piece " where you were")
5) Buckethead ( fast as sin , and what a personality he Has)
6) Yngwie Malmsteen
7) Michael angelo Batio ( double neck and quad neck guitarist)
8) John patrucci ( dream theater's guitar ACE)
9) Michael Hedges ( phenominal acoustic guitarist... cna play bass, rythmn and lead at the same time on the same neck)
10) Chris Impelliterri ( another speed demon , but hard to get his recordings)
for those people who say Dimebag..please listen to a real guitarist he played drop d and didn't play very welll....extremely sloppy
