Satriani? Clapton? Come on, people. Satriani is fast but blah. Eric Clapton is fairly mean but not even close to the best. Even Robbie Robertson outplayed Clapton when they stood on stage together for the Last Waltz.

I don't know if there is a "best" guitar player because there are different styles and different tastes. Here are those I would say are among the best, though:

Jimi Hendrix -Bite me, he rocked. It is in vogue these days to pretend he was overrated but that's bullshit.
Roy Buchannon - Probably my pick for "best" if I had to pick one but don't bother if you're just looking for another Hendrix clone.
Charo - No, I am not kidding. If you like Flamenco/Spanish/melodic guitar, Charo kicks mountains of ass.
