Best electric guitar players of all time

Finally a list I actually know something about. I've been trying to learn to play guitar for my entire life, so at least I know it's difficult. Hats off for those who can really master their instrument!

5. Tom Morello
Great riff-maker, and always looking for something new. Re-invented electric guitar. Live performance pure AD-HD. Check out yourself: Cochise

4. Jimmy Page
He has created more killer riffs than anyone else in the planet. Also happened to be a part of the greatest rock band on the face of the Earth. Check out yourself: Led Zeppelin Greatest Hits

3. Steve Ray Vaughan
Picked up where Albert King and Muddy Waters left off. Unfortunately no-one picked up after SRV. Check out yourself: Texas Flood.

2. Steve Vai
Controversial choice? Not really. This guy can do anything with his ax, thanks to the Academy of Insanely Precise Playing, also known as the Frank Zappa Band. Check out yourself: Tender Surrender

1. Jimi Hendrix
This is a no-brainer, but how could anyone disagree? The guy was just so brilliant. Contrary to the consensus, he's best moment was not All alone the watchtower. It was Hey Joe. Check it out yourself.
