To me, there is no greatest guitar player. All of them were special and brought something to the table as far as talent and innovation. Too many genres, too many different approaches. It's tough to really call that one. Not only that, but if you have 100 posts in this thread, you're going to get 100 different answers. To me, they are all great...

you're kidding, right?
Why do you want to know?
This is in no way meant to put you down, but usually when someone tells me so-and-so is the best, it's because they haven't really been exposed to many of the other incredible artists out there.
Maybe you're post should be asking:
Who are SOME of your FAVORITE guitarists?
Have you ever listened to the likes of Andre Segovia, Django Reinhardt, Danny Gatton, Yngwie Malmsteen, Randy Rhodes (just to name a small few) etc, etc, etc?
Eddie Van Halen is an awesome player, don't get me wrong, I guess all I'm trying to say is if you want to be as good as him one day, or even better, then you should broaden your horizons and listen to as many of 'the best' players you can find.

Rokket, We actually were typing at the same time. Funny thing is I thought you put it better. Cheers, Rez
BTW- I really dig your quote:
"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."

That would definitely have to be Eric Idol, he played acoustic guitar for a band called Monty Python back in the 70s.
