You're a politician, aren't ya? :D
What is your definition? I'm curious. Obviously everyone has their own opinion on it, but I'm curious to know how you define it to include those you mentioned, but not Tom. Jeff Beck, who you mentioned, isn't exactly the most influential guitarist of all time, nor is he particularly prolific in pure playing ability.
I guarantee you Morello could play Beck under the table with a clean electric guitar and no effects. Morello was a speed metal nut back in the day in LA with many other guys. He got tired of it since it had been done and decided to create a new sound. That does more for me than Steve Vai, Eric Johnson (more bluesy, I admit), etc.
But I digress. Who since '78 (believe that was Van Halen's first album, Eddie's a gimmie on any guitar player's list) would you consider in your own guitar God category? Not a flame or anything, but I'm curious.
