Well, my list is pretty cliche, but it actually is my own opinion out of my own research, not just because they're big names.

1) Jimi Hendrix
2) Eric Clapton
3) Tom Morello

I don't think I've ever seen the term "hecka" used before that wasn't a hiccup or on the show Hamtaro.

Based solely on personal opinions:
Dr. Know (Bad Brains)
Wayne Kramer (MC5)
Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)

Damn, only 3?

Alex Lifeson
Eric Clapton
Duane Allman

Tony Iommi and Steve Howe round out my top 5.

Slash
Santana
Buckethead

I'm surprised nobody else said Slash lol

3 is way too hard, but I guess I'll try.

These are my top 3 and they don't really mean that I think they're the best guitarists of all time, they're just my personal favorites. Though I'm sure they're all near the top. No particular order, that would be way too hard.

Jimmy Page
Kirk Hammett
Steve Howe

Of course, if you were to ask me in a few days, I probably look back on this and change it. Top 3 is too tough.

Jimi Hendrix
Matthew Bellamy
Johnny Greenwood

i know i know don't hate me

[thesicklyill]

Hendrix for sure

[instantdeath999]

1. Jesus
2. Budha
3. Satan

Imagine the supergroup.

[WonderboyYYZ]

Eddie Van Halen encompasses all

Well, not actually but he's my favorite and I always thought the best (at least over Overrated Tom Morello)

Jimi Hendrix
(your favortie here)

Since these two are far and above the rest in my eyes
