They all get blown away by Michael Angelo Batio if you want to talk about technical ability. They can't do what he does. No one can.

If you're talking about like "stunt" guitar playing, I think Vai beats MAB. Unfortunately, they're both fags. Vai probably has everyone (except Shawn Lane) beat in sheer ability, he just usually chooses to play his guitar like a stupid self-absorbed little bitch. MAB is pretty good technically, yes, but he is pretty much the most unconvincing guitarist I've ever heard. That's why no one except some metal kids from the 80s and guitar weirdos have ever heard of him. You can play two guitars at the same time, MAB, good for you. Unfortunately, no matter how many guitars you play, you will never have any heart. You are a machine. MAB always kind of reminded me of Moe from Calvin and Hobbes with those stupid bangs.
*edit*
I think Jason Becker, had ALS not taken him in his prime, would go down in history as the greatest shredder ever.
