Your three best guitarist in rock history

This is strictly for the genre of rock

I'm going to leave out guys like James Burton who was rock with rickly Nelson and elvis and could clearly blow anyone away in rock but it was more rockabilly/country than straight rock!

So this is just for mainstream rock.

I'm going with.

Eddie van halen
Steve vai
George lynched

not saying all 3 are the best skillfully but contributed to guitar playing as we know it

Richie Blackmore ( saw him live and pulled a solo out of this world and yes blackmores night is good)
ywngie malmsteen (in b4 I am your god video) but he did basically start the Neo-classical movement

I consider Eddie Van "Galen" to ride between metal and rock. Steve Vai and George Lynch are mostly 80s metal to me.
comparing Rory Gallagher to Gary Moore?

Best musically or best in terms of ability?

Because as far as ability goes, I have yet to see anyone top Michael Angelo Batio, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Joe Satriani.

Musically, I really like Alexi Laiho in his prime, Dave Mustaine, and Dave Murray in his prime.
