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.

What. The. Frick.? How can anybody dog Morello's talent? Maybe try listening to some other Morello projects that aren't RATM. "Be Yourself" is one of the prettiest guitar riffs I've ever heard as simple as it is. The "Promenade" solo from SSSC is ridiculous. He's got a few on that album actually. Have you seen the guitar solo he did with Springsteen at the RnR HOF? Nightwatchman solo project? I'd put him up against almost anyone today if they had to mimic the other person's playing.
