Just to name a few.

and if you want some great rock guitarists with a lot of technical skill and versatility, i recomend shawn lane, steve howe, ry cooder, phil keaggy, steve morse, buckethead, eric johnson, steve vai, derek trucks, jeff beck, frank zappa, duane allman and jan akkerman just to name a few...and if you just want guitarists with great tone and technique then you need to check out david gilmour, steve ray vaughan, tony iommi, carlos santana, mark knopfler, mick ronson, kevin shields, john frusciante, steve hackett, adam jones, tom morello, the edge and slash...then there are the overall greats like hendrix, page, EVH, townshend, clapton, etc....batio isnt even worthy of holding these guys guitar straps.
