I'm putting my vote in for little stevie vai. I was piss drunk last weekend and put in his astoria dvd around 3am. Watched the whole thing, and my jaw dropped as though it was the first time I saw him. He may not be as fast as the other guys mentioned, but that doesn't really matter to me. I'm really in touch with his music, and feel like I connect with it in a way that I don't with other guitarist's work.
