They don't have to be the most technically skilled, just the best.
For me:
1: Mr legend himself, Dimebag of Pantera (Rest In Piece)
2: Kirk Hammet of Metallica (of course)
3: John Frusciante of RHCP
4: Eric Clapton (Old slow hand himself)
5: Michael "Padge" Paget of BFMV (Tied with Matt Tuck though!)

Only 5? Not easy to answer. I'd have to say, in no particular order of preference: Kirk Hammett, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Slash, Jimi Hendrix.
And a few more, just for good measure: Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Gary Moore, they were all pretty good too.
My number 1 for all-time technical excellence is Joe Satriani.

1. Brian May - Queen
2. George Harrison - Beatles
3. Jimmy Hendrix
4. Flea - I knwo he's a bass player but OMG he's good!
5. John Frusciante - RHCP
But so many others - Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend - the list goes on!
