I'm sorry, but no list could be taken seriously if Shawn Lane isn't in it. This guy could play anything, was showing Paul Gilbert tricks when he was only 13 and had the most mind-boggling technique ever seen, while having the capacity to make people cry with 4 notes.
I've teached guitar for 10 years and it took me like 2 years to nail SOME of his licks, I'm not even talking about whole songs...

What stopped him for recognition was that he died BEFORE getting to the legend level. I really encourage you to check out youtube. his best takes are improvised in concerts, and he played with the bests.
