Who are your top ten (not necessarily in any specific order) greatist guitarists of all time?
Lots of magazines and networks make their own lists but I disagree with a lot of the people they put on the "Top 100" lists and the people they left out...
Who are YOUR favorite guitarists of all time? And post a link (ie, youtube link) to a song of there's that you feel features their BEST work.
Here's my top ten, but in no specific order:
I obviously put more than ten, because I felt I had to... I did try to keep it as short as possible though..
One person I left out...personally because I feel he hasn't given us his BEST yet (not saying what he gave us wasn't very awesome ear candy, but he still has a lifetime to rock, and I think he has more to give us). That person is Jack White. Probably most famous for the song Seven Nation Army.

Here's my top ten, but in no specific order:
- Angus Young (of AC/DC): It was tough picking ONE ac/dc song over the others, but it had to be Back in Black http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MunK6hft8Y
- Eddie Van Halen (of Van Halen): I picked Eruption. Here's a live video of Eddie performing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULEBSxP725w&fmt=18
- Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin): I picked Bring it on Home. Jimmy Rips it at 1:44 in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz4gRjI-HRA&fmt=18
- George Harrison (of The Beatles): I picked While My Guitar Gently Weeps (while Eric Clapton did play some guitar in this song, the majority of it is Harrison playing): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfhs7kjgXRI
- Frank Zappa (of The Mothers of Invention and Captain Beefheart): I picked Peaches en Regalia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rvj3sH4TGA&fmt=18

- Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew (because they go together. Both of King Crimson): I picked 21st Century Schizoid Man, though Dinosaur, Sleepless, Red, and Vrooom are also great songs) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7h4qT6OrdQ&fmt=18
