Billy Gibbons said he was one of the best so the answer is yes.

That depends...how many individuals are capable of receiving the distinction of "Guitar God"?

Is he top 100 all-time? For sure.

Is he top 25? Nope.

Eric Clapton seems to think so. I think he was highly regarded as a guitar player - that wasn't his first instrument and arguably not his best (both piano/keys), but I regard him as an elite guitar player - perhaps not the "high note count" virtuoso of a Malmsteen, Satriani or Vai, for example, but certainly as influential a guitar player and gifted - from a musicality standpoint - on the instrument as any in the almost 70 years of the solid body electric guitar.

He's up there with Hendrix and Eddie Hazel.

Yes, he is a guitar legend. I am hoping there is a rock album with tons of solos out there in his massive vault of unreleased material.
