Robert Fripp and the dude from My Bloody Valentine should be somewhere in the top 10
Early to mid 90's Trey was a beast too

Django Reinhardt has to be in the conversation.

These lists always cause so much drama, but to be honest the top 10 are probably some underground flamenco dudes we've never heard of. That being said, legendary status aside, trucks is better than Clapton on guitar.

Geez....I'll have to think about this one considering there has never been a thread on this topic.

I don't disagree with the content of your top 6, necessarily, although I'd be open to a much wider group of 100 guys, but, OMG:
Don't belong anywhere near a list like this. If Morello woke up with 1/4 of Kim Thayil's talent - tomorrow - he'd die from absolute shock.
So, Mayer is ahead of guys like Chuck Berry, B.B. King, Carlos Santana, James Burton, Petrucci, Jerry Cantrell, Mike McCready, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Les Paul, Phil Collen, David Gilmour, the aforementioned Kim Thayil, Eric Johnson, Richie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, Brian May, Mick Taylor, Jeff Beck and about 1000 other guys?
(And I like John Mayer...)
Not hardly - I doubt there was a guitarist just in the band The Yardbirds that wasn't a better guitarist.

Robin Trower is greatly underappreciated. He's the best I've ever heard live.

Impossible unless you break it down by genre and style. There is no such thing as an overall across genre and style GOAT musician in any aspect or form to say otherwise is to not understand music

Solid list. Mine would have to include Jeff Beck and Sonny Landreth. Possibly Tommy Emmanuel as well.
ETA: Agree with rabbit that Trower needs to be mentioned too.

Tash Neal will be the greatest guitarist to have every strung one up.

Since this is really a subjective topic there really is no right or wrong here I guess.
This is really fricking tough to do, but my top ten list:
Hendrix
SRV
Duane Allman
Buddy Guy
BB King
Albert King
David Gilmour
Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page
Freddie King
And I love Mayer, but no way would he belong in a top 10 all time list, not in mine at least. I believe you have to be around a while to join such lists. If you want to go top 10 current guitarist, then I'd absolutely put him in that.
Trucks
Bonamassa
Mayer
Frusciante
Jack White
Gary Clark Jr
Johnny Lang
Are some of the best younger guitar players. There are several others.

Please tell me Dimebag has been mentioned after 7 pages?

I know these lists are subjective, but John Mayer as a top 10 guitarist of all time is laughable.
