Re: WHO is the GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER in the WORLD TODAY?
Jimmy Page, here is why:

Longevity
talent
Producing talent
Amount of playing with other famous musicians, especially in his studio years
Amount of people on the list who look up to him as a mentor and inspiration
Unforgettable riffs and solos, I would challenge that he has the most recognizable collection out of anyone
Creator founder of one the top three bands of all time
Still commands a huge fan base and audience, if not the most expenisve concert ticket prices in history ( If he performed with Plant and Jones again)

I would also mention fast Eddie as second place and the guitarist from Billy idol in the 80s as honorable mentions.

Re: WHO is the GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER in the WORLD TODAY?
How do define greatest exactly?
Music is the most subjective topic I could think of.
Surprised to see a name like Carlos Santana not on your list.
or how about Yngwe Malmsteen?
Really depends on what floats your boat...

How many guitarists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Three!
One to screw in the light bulb, and two others to say what a better job they could've done.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Eric Johnson yet.



or Andres Segovia (passed in 1987 though).
