throw Robert Johnson in there for being a pioneer and pretty damn good in the process.

The best guitarist of all time is probably some guy that nobody's ever heard of who lived years and years ago.

The band made great music, but Page is a mediocre guitarist.

If you want to make the argument that he's not an all time great, okay. knock yourself out. I don't agree with you, but go for it. But there's no way he's mediocre. I'm fricking mediocre. (On my best day.)

Serious answer? Nels Cline, the lead guitarist currently in Wilco. He can shred like Satriani, play blues like SRV, play fusion like Holdsworth, rock like Hendrix and can frick around like Morello. Look him up.

I asked about him earlier. I think he's definitely one of the most important musicians of all time, period. I don't know if anyone has influenced more people or had more of an individual impact on popular music than that guy did.

you can go on youtube right now and find some 9 yr old finger tapping his way through Eruption and at least a dozen meth heads flawlessly sweep arpeggio-ing 100 mph up and down the neck. you're forced to hang your hat on "their influence" because the technical ability of some of the guys on this list is a joke; they're vanilla-sounding, can't-hit-a-wrong-note-because-all-i-do-is-noodle-in-the-pentatonic-scale dweebs.

even the more experimental guitarists who venture from beginner lead theory aren't as great as their reputations claim.
Santana - not that great
Van Halen - overrated big time
Steve Via - your horsie wah pedal sucks
