Jeff Loomis: He's so good, he doesn't need to be dead to have a tribute.

Slash and the Edge are not great they are just in well known bands.
As an ex muso from way back I always think that a great guitarist is one that invents their own style (sound) and is instantly recognisable.
Eg
Carlos Santana
Jimi Hendrix
Mark Knopfler
As for speed
Alvin Lee of Ten Years After was pretty fast.

I am an avid fan.

The first thing I watched was Queen, then showed him Dire Straits performance of Sultans Of Swing. He was suitably impressed.

I wouldn't say THE best, but John Petrucci is pretty good.
