As I say in every thread about this. He is technically capable, but is by no means the best guitarist in that respect, rather he is my favourite, and that man is:

Robin Finck.

Why? because he is made of pure awesomeness.

Jon Devoto and Shawn Harris of The Matches. I had to pick both because their songs require two guitar parts. :)

Neil Young. Definitely.

He may not have the greatest technique, but no one is better at translating feelings into music through a guitar.

John Frusciante. He's awesome int he Chili Peppers, but in his solo work, his guitar work is an extension of his soul, which is amazing.

Kirk Hammet is very close, but Land Of Confusion is the best song out there.

Joe Satriani. He has much control over the guitar itself and is very melodic. I chose a non-flashy video where he shows many of his techniques:
