Top 5 greatest guitarists ever?

Who are your top 5 greatest guitarists ever? Mine would be:

1. Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)

2. Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)

3. Ace Frehley (KISS)

4. Angus Young (AC/DC)

5. Slash (Guns 'n' Roses)

Update:

Sugaree! You are so correct! Chuck Berry has never gotten the attention he deserves, Elvis really doesn't have as many good songs as Chuck did, and kinda stole some of his thunder, but Chuck truly started rock 'n' roll, songs like "Johnny B. Goode", "Little Queenie", or "No Particular Place to Go" will never die! And I will always listen to them!
