I would say there is no such thing as a greatest guitarist, it really is a matter of preference and musical genre.
I noticed most of the posts centered around rock and blues guitarists but let's not forget the other formats.....
Andres Segovia comes to mind, one of the most amazing players I have ever heard.
There have also been several blue grass pickers out there that would make some of these speed medal guys look like they were playing in slow motion and they are playing on acoustic guitars.
I personally was most influenced by Eddie Van Halen.
Later,
Peace
