What do you think?
I'm especially interested in your opinion on Pat Metheny being no 3, which puts him ahead of such monster players as Joe Pass or Alan Holdsworth, for example. While I'm definitely no Metheny-hater (jazz-heads have to have their own DT, too) IMO putting him above Holdsworth is controversial and above Pass is simply a mistake. 
EDIT: Only now have I noticed that earlier versions of this list had Metheny as no 2 and even as no 1, above Django Reinhardt and Wes Montgomery!
