Hey mon, I love Frusicante too but Trey's live performances earn him the title.

Robin Trower is greatly underappreciated. He's the best I've ever heard live.

Impossible unless you break it down by genre and style. There is no such thing as an overall across genre and style GOAT musician in any aspect or form to say otherwise is to not understand music

And what are the criteria for determining greatness even within a single genre? Technical virtuosity? Speed? Feel? Versatility?

Solid list. Mine would have to include Jeff Beck and Sonny Landreth. Possibly Tommy Emmanuel as well.
ETA: Agree with rabbit that Trower needs to be mentioned too.

The list of things that Tommy Emmanuel can't play is very short indeed.

I've never really heard anything by the guy that I thought was super impressive. Admittedly I haven't listened to a ton of his music. Could you give an example of something that you think makes a case for him as a great guitarist?

Of all time I agree. But he was definitely the best guitar player of the 90s.
