You can't forget the Blues guitarists, the Jazz guitarists (like Django Reinhardt, google him, he could only use 2 of his fingers, and he would shred), and the blues influenced Rock guitarists. I didn't mean creatively or musically, I just meant in terms of pure technical skill. But there are certainly a handful of Metal guitarists who are skilled musically as well as technically (John Petrucci, Michael Romeo...). Just like most guitar based styles.
