Americans tend to suck, depends on what you are talking about as well. Speed and timing, melodic sound, or creativeness?

Chuck Schuldiner .... uhhh
Most of the music I like is scandinavian. I cannot think of any worthwhile american guitarists off the top of my head.
The guy pioneered the death metal genre, the genre is literally named after his band. He also did not know intricate music theory, he played by ear.

It's very simple, you just need to fill those 10 spots with neo classical guitarists.

I like him mainly because he pioneered a genre, and the fact that most of his solos fit into scales, yet he had no music theory training.

Van halen was good, slash should have had his name changed to hack to better fit his skill. Santana is boring, I don't know why all the great guitarists go with out fans while people like slash are worshipped for making some of the most simplistic shitty music I have ever had to hear.

And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk ...four times already this year and I used to be over by the window and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and its not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire.

Maybe not in the top 10, but without Les Paul, there'd be no solid-body electric guitar... . . .

I like Fredrik Åkesson, but he's not American.
He's got amazing skills, and incorporates them into some pretty complex music.

IMO. Steve Vai = Best electric guitarist. His mastery and devotion to the instrument is undeniable, and simply amazing.
Tommy Emmanuel = Best acoustic guitarist. Insane acoustic finger style chops, AMAZING live performances, humble guy and crafts some of the most beautiful melodies i've ever heard.

I own that exact model of guitar. The Ibanez jem7v. The best guitar I have ever played in my life. Steve vai is a top 3 in my book.
