Who are your 5 favourite guitarists?

[soulspinner]

And I don't want you to copy out 5 from the top 10 lists all over the net. I mean your personal 5 favourites, not in terms of technicality or influence or whatever, but in terms of literally plucking your heart strings.
Mine would be, in no particular order:
Slash
Kirk Hammett
Jimmy Page
Joe Perry
Tom Morello

Can't wait to see yours

Tough to narrow it down to 5, but I'd have to say:

Jimi Hendrix
Robert Fripp
Tony Iommi
Tom Morello
Dave Mustaine

In terms of skill, Julian Bream and John Williams. I don't really see the point in naming guitarists who I personally think are creative though.

[Cryptozoologist]

1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Jimmy Page
3. Duane Allman
4. George Harrison
5. Jonny Greenwood

[Elston]

Admittedly I don't know enough about guitarists, but I always liked:

1. Frank Zappa
2. John Fahey (Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death!!)
