I'm sorry, but Joe Satriani and Steve Vai are total fucking trash and are subsequently overrated. They are tasteless and tacky. I've never found anything the've done great. Yngwie's work, like his first 2 rising force albums, devastates all their crap. Marty Friedman, in his prime, shits Vai and Satriani's. Sat and Vai have no taste and it doesn't help that they dress like male prostitutes.

Perhaps not the best, but some of my favorite:

Bill Tsamis
Akira Takasaki
David Chastain
Mark Shelton
Steve "LIps" Kudlow
Frank Aresti
Victor Smolski
 
I think people say Yngwie is tasteless b/c now he is. But his earlier works were mostly all composed so his solos were thematically part of the song. Now he just improvises and plays the same 'tacky' shit. Have you heard disciples from hell? The guitar solo is excellent and only serves to add to the song. I think his work with the symphony orchestra also was nice. But in terms of technical ability, taste aside, Yngwie can run circles around Vai and Satch.
 
You are incredibly correct about Malmsteen (even though some of his latest albums show some quality that is reminiscent of the first two albums), but still absolutely wrong about Satriani. As for Vai, i don't like his material that much, but even he has some amazing songs.
 
Timo Tolkki (Stratovarius)
Hanneman (Slayer)
Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer)
Jeff Loomis (Nevermore)
Jon Nödtveidt (Dissection)
Shrapnel and K.K. Warslut (Destroyer 666)
Johan Söderberg and Olavi Mikkonen (Amon Amarth)
Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica)

This thread was done last week by Sabin Frost but I guess someone didn't want the favorite guitarists thread to die haha.

+1 Even though I think Satch is a little overrated I do think his Surfing with the Alien album is flawless including that piece you mentioned which is probably my favorite by him.
