Alex Lifeson (Rush)
Steve Vai
Yngwie Malmsteen
Zac Brown (Zac Brown band. If you ever saw him play live, you would be amazed at how good he is.)
Lindsay Buckingham (I watched him play a solo that sounded like two different guitars playing at the same time. I don't know how he did it to this day)

I think any of these guitarists could play notes the top five "greatest" couldn't play. Please don't get me wrong, they ARE great, but judging solely on the ability to play the "little" notes, these guys are better in my opinion.

I have to agree.

Hendix on the first list...yes, the others... not so sure.
One great guitarist that always seems to be overlooked is Billy Gibbons. Another is Neil Schon.

Lindsay has a picking style of playing... very unique.

A few other great ones.

Randy Rhodes
Warren Demartini
Zak Wylde
