I'm sure there are more, but thats all I can think of right now.

+1 on Akerfeldt! I watched Live at Shepard's Bush yesterday and he gives such feel on Windowpane and To Rid the Disease. Can't believe I forgot him...

However, Herman Li is a very sloppy guitarist, IMO.

I can't believe no one has even mentioned Matthew Bellamy yet!!

So eh..
1. Matthew Bellamy (Muse) hee hee
2. Billy Corgan (Samshing Pumpkins)

And for bass guitarists:
1. Chris Wolstenholme

Why are bass guitarists always overlooked??
Bass is just as good as guitar!*nods furiously*

Matthew Bellamy is awesome. But some of his solos kind of get repetetive. Like New Born & Hysteria. But stockholm syndrome wasn't that bad.

All musicians who can put together some damn fine riffs, and top them up with the odd amazing solo. A good riff and a well thought out solo means more to me and speed and technique any day, and I've been playing for around four years now.

I really never expected anyone to mention Deron Miller, or Claudio Sanchez, but they're both fantastic.

Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, Warren Haynes, BB King, Chuck Berry, and Neil Young. All are amazing with both electric and acoustic guitars, and Duane Allman and Warren Haynes could/can both play a mean slide guitar.
