Where does Zac Brown stack up against other great guitarist?

Is he one of the greatest acoustic guitar players of all time?

I´m in Atlanta, and I had to google Zac Brown, in order to reply.

So, I´d say no.

Honest question: Who is better on the acoustic? I'm amazed when he plays the fiddle solo from Devil Went Down to Georgia

Right in between Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson

Oh, and Jerry fricking Garcia

I don't know if he's an all time great, but he's definitely a beast.

Devil Went Down to Georgia
start at the 5 minute mark

Chicken Fried solo
4 minute mark

Alabama Jubilee

He´s a banjo player on a guitar

I gagged upon reading that thread title. These threads are getting ridiculous.

Jimmy Herring. Seriously, I think he is better on acoustic than anything else.

C'mon man, there are literally hundreds of better, more accomplished guitarists easily found on YouTube.
And there are thousands of high school kids who can play as well as him. Here's just a tiny, tiny sampling of better, more accomplished guitarists:

Steel string players:

Leo Kottke

Doc Watson

Tommy Emmanuel

Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucía (Paco is nylon)

Michael Hedges

Pierre Bensusan

Nylon string players:

Badi Assad 1 and Badi Assad 2

I take it no-one has ever heard of Antoine Dufour
