Very innovative, but not mind-blowing skills.
Its amazing how I feel the exact way about 99% of the guitarists people list as all time bests. There are prolific, innovative, inspirational, and even skilled guitarists, but being just one doesn't make you the best. Someone mentioned Shawn lane, and unless you are a YouTube fanatic or have guitar worlds from the 90s, you just will never know of him. Insanely skilled, talent level that might not be touched by a but a handful, but didn't really write amazing music or care about being known. The exact opposite of clapton. That son of a bitch knows how to make a toe tapper and have 40 year name recognition, yet these two people are in the same running for "greatest guitar guy" spot. Too many factors.

I definitely agree with your point.

Rankings are also purely subjective and someone is going to rank a guitarist higher or lower based on their preference of music.
We all know a great guitarist when we hear one. They don't always have to produce a melody or tune that you enjoy to recognize their talents and I see a lot of people tend to let that affect their rankings.
