Who is the greatest guitarist of all time?
A name that is missing from your list is Glenn Campbell. Yeah, he was a country music star. But he was also a much sought after studio musician. Most people don't realize how good Campbell was.
Roy Clark is another. Not a rock guitarist, but a major talent.
Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson were also masters of their art.

Being a guitarist myself, and having lived in Mexico for 4 years, I came in contact with a lot of the fine music of Mexico. One of the great guitarists of Mexico is Sergio Vallin, who plays a wide variety of genres from Mexican folk guitar, to classical, to Rock, and plays with the Lain American famous band > Mana.
