Most of them are more inventive than most of the people on that list
Stevie Ray Vaughan?
B.B King?
Zappa (most)?
They aren't hard rock or metal, to name three. And most of the guitarists you named just missed out on a spot because I ran out of time. So I wasn't favouring any style of music, in fact, I can't stand most of those guitarists.

I`m no Nirvana fan but i`d rather listen to them than 75% of the wank on this list.

If we're going with technical ability alone, why hasn't anybody voted for Michael Angelo yet? He's the fastest, period.

If it's best overall, I'd go with Vai, but this is technical, so Michael Angelo Batio is my pick. Go to his site, Angelo.com, and watch his videos and sound clips. He's insane.

Going with composition as well. Yeah, Angelo is insane, but I personally think Vai owns him in all categories

I know I'm annoyed too, he was actually the very next to go on - maybe if I had done it alphabetically...:P

Kurt Kobain? ...

I went with David Gilmour, out of that list. His guitar sounds really silvery and fluid. I'm sure he isn't anywhere near the best technically speaking.

Default Oh yeah...

I took the liberty to add in the various bands and the less popular one's style(s). If there's no band listed it means they have a solo career, even though I know some some of them have also been in bands, but they probably have more solo albums. And vice-versa.
I'm not gonna stop this list until everyone on this entire board is happy! So tell me to make additions if you want and I'll add them if I've heard of 'em – or correct my mistakes. You now officially have the right to be pissed at me for forgetting your favourite guitarist(s).
