Who is (was) the best guitarist ?
For reference, I cited these sources:

http://guitar.about.com/library/bl100greatest.htm
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5937559/the_100_greatest_guitarists_of_all_time/
and this new kid:

My take?
Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix.
Now, since everyone here at TR are an Eclectic lot, I'm wondering what you think about it.
Ironically, I view an Excellent Guitarist on the same level as a Gifted Tech. The tech that intutively understands the problems, the general goal, and the means to achieve the purest and best way to achieve the goal.
For criterea, I present the following :
Style, technique, and creativity. Anyone can mimic another's work. Anyone can duplicate (to some extent) another's style. But creativity is the crux.
Now, excuse me while I go listen to "Layla", Eruption", and "Voodoo Child".
update: edited to add vid of the new kid
