Im not exactly sure Hendrix should have it in the bag for #1, although I can't see him going any lower than 2nd or 3rd. Also, I think you could exchange Clapton at fifth for Chuck Berry at sixth. Making my dream list look something like this.

1. Jimmy Page
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Eddie Van Halen
4. Jeff Beck
5. Chuck Berry
6. Eric Clapton

As youcan see, my top 6 has the same guitarist's that your list does, just in a slightly different order. That's how I would have had it... personally.
