Are you sure Johnny? The internet disagrees with you.

lots of blues players in these lists. lots of 60's and 70's rock. lots of gunslingers. music has happened since, y'all. outside of the blues genre, however, there's been a move away from the guitar 'solo' (even the newer metal is getting away from flagrant guitar). players are still good, however, just contributing more to song structure and less to 'parachute in after second chorus blues guitar solo" styles.
my list:
harrison and/or townsend. these are 60's / 70's era players that refused the stereotype of the day and played solid rhythm guitar that, as a result, allowed the bass and drum players to step out of the rhythm box and create some timeless songs.
andy summers. the only redeeming thing to come out of the 80's, except for perhaps johnny marr.
morello. a player that played the song first. a standout amongst all the other derivative guitar that was happening in the 90's, except for perhaps jonny greenwood; i'd love to see a guitar cage match between those two guys.
omar rodriguez lopez. you want guitar rock? the mars volta's first album. latin? metal? prog? sure to give santana the night sweats.
ed droste. have you heard what the new alternative music is sounding like? grizzly bear? alt-j? very prog-ish. song structures that confuse the mind. weird harmonies. guitar work that supports it all.

I almost forgot Herman Li. I'll have to punt Blackmore from my top 5 to make room for him.
