No Seve Vai, no Paul Gilbert, No Buckethead, No Mark Tremonti There's not a shredder on the list.
No Tommy Emmanuel? Good grief
Best guitarist no one has ever heard of, Doyle Bramhall (sp>). Check out his work on the Roger Waters "In The Flesh" tour DVD. He's insane.
Plus, I'd exchange Chuck Berry with Stevie Ray Vaughn. No way does Vaughn deserve to be out of the top 10.
I think he is one of the most underrated guitarists out there...I've seen him live a few times and he is just awesome. I think the tanking of Scott Stapp (and therefore Creed) really didn't help his career...
Tommy Emmanuel !! Definitely top 15 material !
Most people will take emotion over skill any day.
That puts Jack White in over “shredders”. Not to mention he kicks ass, even on drums.

I’d agree with that. I saw him as part of the Experience Hendrix tour earlier this year and was quite impressed.
