when lists of "best/most skilled" guitarists come out we're also talking in terms of innovation and what they have offered to the musical world. The less well known the guitarist is, chances are, the less they've offered to the musical world. Especially now that guitarists arent just a dime a dozen, they're a dime for every 200.

Again I tried not to show any genre preference and made sure every genre has a representitive or two.
Lists with metal and prog guitarists usually neglect punk and alternative guitarists, and vice versa, most of these are subjective, so I tried to do the most fair list I could.
These lists also tend to be skilled based, for me that's a small part of the criteria. But influence, impact and popularity are also very important, however I won't confuse popular artists (Billy Joe Artmstrong) with popular guitarists.
