I'll also throw in they while people may view him as "pop", he should get a more blues tag as John Mayer puts on a great live show. His new album is awesome (see "Walt grace's submarine test")

Greatest Guitar Player Ever?......Me!
I liked his first cd quite a bit, but couldn't bear to hear "Your Body Is A Wonderland" ever again. Technically, JM is great guitar player (with a nod to Berklee School of Music.) I know Jimi never attended. Agreed on Santana. What an awesome, amazing player. You can tell its him by the first note! Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) was a major influence on Carlos who covered Peter's "Black Magic Woman". Listen to Greeny's "The Supernatural" on John Mayal and the Bluesbreakers' "A Hard Road". Anyone who has never heard Peter's playing owes it to themselves. He's that good.
For flat picking, my favorite guitarist is Dan Crary. I have already seen all my favorites mentioned in other posts.
This was him bombed on lsd....

Dimebag Darrel get my wote. Also for being coolest guy ever. Sort of.
Orianthi...whoops! Thought the question was hottest guitar player ever.
Mark Knopfler!
As I am maturing I have come to realize that great guitar is not playing a million notes per second by touch and emotion. Mark has that.

+100% this
How did it take a page and a half to get to the right answer. I got the fortune last weekend of seeing Zakk Wylde and Slash play together.
Randy was a god though, sadly he had to go home early.
Jake Cinninger, Umphrey's McGee - my vote for sure.

I saw B.C. play on a bill with Echo & The Bunnymen. Stuart and Bruce Watson had the ebows going and they almost sounded like bagpipes. They were a great 80's band and "The Crossing" still remains a favorite from that era. r.i.p. Stuart.
Darrel is defiantly a great song writer.
