An excellent list, and you made an important point that I left out: you don't need to rank them, just list them.

The lead and rhythm guitarists from Dragonforce. Check out about 3:20 into the song.

John Mayer
I hate you so much.

Flobot - Handlebars.
Probably one of the best songs to come out in the last year or so. Damn good song with a neat message.
-
I hate you so much.
Just to clarify, I was kidding.
I don't get a "Strong list with some exotic flavors, B" from you?

I dig the song, but the rest of that album is pretty godawful. I think "Handlebars" sounds like Jon McCrea (Cake) doing a hip hop song. In other words, I like it.
-
Just to clarify, I was kidding.
I figgered. And to clarify: I'll take nothing away from Mayer's technical skills with an axe, it's his douchebag lyrics/songs that annoy the fuck out of me.

We're getting there. There is a point to this exercise.

Why do you hate candy lips and a bubble gum tongue?

You need to watch das video. To me, it sounds like the rapper from Linkin Park.

I can't believe Keith Urban doesn't ever get any votes for things like this. His music might not be your style, but he can flat out play a guitar. It really comes out when he covers rock songs and the like.
Per the instructions, I won't post a youtube video but if you need proof search for 'the devil went down to nashville' and watch most of it.

Ace Frehley
I think we all saw that one coming, didn't we?
-

I think what he meant was the individual who played the part. The base lead was played by Don Felder. The twin lead guitars that are going toward the end of the song are Don Felder and Joe Walsh.

Kaos I know that is your boys and everything and I am not saying he isnt good , but there are millions of people that can play the guitar like that....I promise.

Tom Morello is amazing, and I had the opportunity to be rocked about 10 feet away from him at the front row at VooDoo Fest, and then met Tim Commerford & Brad Wilk that night on Bourbon Street. Didn't get to meet Zack or Tom though.
Speaking of Tom Morello, he has a solo album coming out with guest vocalists ranging from Serj Tankian to Shooter Jennings.

Alright, our sample is small, but you guys are like crack-addled rhesus monkeys with ADD.
The point is that there is one guitarist who is routinely ignored on lists like this. Kudos to Randall for being the only voter to include him: Prince.
If you need convincing, peep the following video (if you only want to see Prince's jaw-dropping performance, skip to about the 3 minute mark, but the entire performance is worth watching). This is Tom Petty and friends paying tribute to George Harrison at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony where Harrison and Prince (among others) were admitted:

Fixed for you, Brad. You don't have to do all that embedded shit here. Just post the link and this site embeds it for you.

Does that mean I am not a crack-addled rhesus monkey wth ADD?
Suck it, bitches.

You would think a future member of the Alabama Bar would know that.

Thanks for fixing that, BrChad. The internets mess me up.

One would.

The video is messed up...
And Charley Murphy claims that Prince is a hell of a basket ball player too...

The video could have been improved if his guitar spewed forth ejaculate (circa Purple Rain tour), and if at the end, he said "game, blouses". Oh well - must have been on network TV or basic cable....
-
I just watched it again...and again, if we're telling the truth....Prince is a bad motherfucker. If you listen to that and don't have some sort of visceral reaction then you're probably dead and jumbo will be around to jam a carrot in your ass in a few minutes.

Good God...are people really saying that Kurt Cobain and Tom Morello are part of the top ten greatest guitar players of all time?
If your list doesn't include Tommy Emmanuel, Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, Joscho Stephan, Jason Becker, Luca Turilli, Birelli Lagrene, Stochelo Rosenburg, Stevie Ray Vaughn, George Benson, Joe Pass, Lenny Breau, Les Paul, Eddie Van Halen, then you haven't done much research.
Look those guys up. I suggest youtubing these songs:
Tommy Emmanuel - Guitar Boogie, Train to Dusseldorf, or Initiation
Django Reinhardt - Nuages (But you won't find much from him)
Chet Atkins - Londonderry Aire, Poor People of Paris
Joscho Stephan - Bossa Dorado, La Gitane
Jason Becker - Serrana Arpeggios
Luca Turilli - The solos to When Demons Awake or Unholy Warcry
Birelli Lagrene - Anything you can find. Probably the best jazz player of all time.
Stochelo Rosenburg - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOiUe86oRts
Stevie Ray Vaughn - The Sky is Crying or his arrangement of Little Wing
George Benson - Take Five
Joe Pass - All the Things You Are
Lenny Breau - (This guy is legendary) - Georgia on My Mind
Les Paul - Avalon
Eddie Van Halen - Eruption
Etc, etc, etc.
There's a lot of great guitarists (and other musicians) that don't get enough credit. The criteria for top ten or best guitar players shouldn't be based on which guitar player you've listened to the most on the radio. Example of a shitty guitar player who had a good band - Kurt Cobain. Example of a pioneer who had enormous talent and innovation - Jimi Hendrix. Example of a virtuoso who revolutionized jazz guitar and should be taught to every kid in school - Django Reinhardt.
Consider yourselves informed. I'm going to go sit in my room and contemplate what my level of guitar nerd is.

Yingwhatever Mamwhatever

This is very true for Kurt Cobain, but I don't see how you can lump Tom Morello into that, and then praise Jimi Hendrix for his "enormous talent and innovation". Morello's greatness lies in the exact same qualities. Essentially he is the Jimi Hendrix of our generation.

Maybe I haven't listened to enough of him, but what I heard from Rage Against the Machine was lackluster. He had a cool sounding solo on Bulls on a Parade, but I can't think of anything else he did that was extraordinary.
Now Hendrix, he did things that revolutionized electric guitar. Nobody played the way he did when he came out, and guitar players today still use his ideas and techinique as influence for their own style.
-
The Solo in Bulls On Parade is the tip of the iceberg. Have you heard any Rage song besides that one?
Every Rage song only features drums, bass, guitar, and vocals. Knowing that, the sounds he makes that guitar make are pretty amazing.
From Rage Against The Machine:
Killing In The Name (3:50), Take The Power Back (2:42), Settle For Nothing (2:48), Bullet In The Head (1:17), Know Your Enemy (3:15), Wake Up (2:55), Fistful Of Steel (3:21), Township Rebellion (2:05), Freedom (2:08)
From Evil Empire:
Down Rodeo (2:23) , Without A Face (2:20), Wind Below (2:47)
From Battle Of Los Angeles:
Guerilla Radio (2:28) (yes, that's his guitar, not a harmonica), Mic Check (2:09), Sleep Now In The Fire (2:46), Born As Ghosts (2:08), Maria (2:54),
From Renegades:
Pistol Grip Pump (2:15), Kick Out The Jams (1:40), Down On The Street (1:50)
I don't have many Audioslave songs, but just judging from their singles, he's quite impressive. Like A Stone (2:58), Doesn't Remind Me (2:51), Original Fire (2:27).
Here's a video someone compiled with some clips.
