I am not a big fan of any of them, but I will say malmsatean for the heck of it.

Personally I think John Petrucci is the best guitarist.
 
Word.

I think a true virtuoso is a blend of technique and melody. Vai often does this perfectly. Satriani and Malmsteen can too, as Surfing With The Alien and Black Star shows, but they spend most of their time showing off and neglecting melody alltogether IMO. I would like to see them take a chill pill, not get so caught up in their egos and focus on actual songwriting.
 
Iknow is an obvious one but hey f*ck it. I would go for Joe Satriani cos Vai playing is very experimental and spacey at times i would actually rather listen to his live recordings than studio recordings. and I fing yngwie to be way over the top and seriously chessy (honestly if you were Lactosintolerant you would die listening to his stuff) plus his over all arrogants really bugs me. But Satriani he has a great sense of groove and tone to his playing (listen to satch boogie and you'll see what i mean) and he is probably the most accessible out of all three.
 
Amen to that. :D

If you like Gilmour you should check out Steve Rothery, he plays for Marillion, not big fans of them myself but he is an excellent guitarist, and his style is a little similar to Gilmours.
 
Vai but i'd rathr listen to satch, malmstein can be sloppy and he hides it with overdrive....plus everything he writes is the same...i just dont like it, and he's overweight lets not forget. :p
So yeah i'd rather mystical potato head groove thing to white powder anyday, but for sheer ability to blow me away by standarRAB vai.
 
I really appreciate those guitarists as instrumentalists but as musicians they just don't seem fit. Too much technicality, while appropriate in cases, just gets old after a couple songs.
