When I listen to Satriani, I first and foremost hear the sweetest tones from what I think is one of the most accomplished guitarist ever. He for sure has technuiqe, but also a deeper musical understanding which makes him what he is.
His melodies got soul, they tell a story, and are played with true feeling and heart and the sweetest touch, which makes the whole difference to me.

I would say with Satriani it is the other way around, first and foremost musicianship, but the technique is absolutely there as well.
Yes, but unless it's blues based, he only hears the technique

LOL........it doesn't have to be blues based.....there has to be an soulful emotion tho, that usually implies the blues in some form..................I consider the solo to Comfortably numb a very bluesy solo, its not the blues at all though.

I saw Al DiMeola a few months back......now this is a guy who is clearly miles ahead of Yngwe and Buckethead, and Satriani..........DiMeola from a technical standpoint can take a dump on those guys.........but again, he doesn't move me. His playing is still cold. It's fun to see people like that live tho......

Then there's John McLaughlin......the greatest guitarist of all time, he has the technique but he's so filled with emotion..........that's beauty.

There are thousands of guitar solos that would drop a deuce on the originally featured "wankfest".
B.B. could do it with one note. Someone finally mentioned Al Di Meola, I've never felt his playing was cold though. I saw RTF last summer in Denver and it was an amazing experience for me considering I was born around the time those albums dropped.

In addition to all who've been listed here, I would give Chris Poland, Alex Skolnick, Frank Gambale, Kirk Hammett, Eric Johnson, Paco De Lucia, and Scott Henderson the props for laying down plenty of better solos then Buckethead's "Jordan". No knock on the Bucket either as I'm sure he would humbly agree.

Yay someone's said the messiah himself

Here he is with L. Shankar on violin in Shakti. It blows mind my mind even more when most of the interplay is improvised (supposedly, its just telepathic). Not to everyone's tastes, but I sit there stunned everytime I listen
YouTube - Shakti - 04 - The Daffodil and the Eagle

Very underrated guitarist is John Squire out the Stone Roses:
YouTube - The Stone Roses - I am the Resurrection (audio only)

And robm123, agree a million times over on Yngwie
