Jimi Hendrix - I could name 20 guitarists right now that we’re better by far than him - start with Ed Van Halen and end with Johnny Winter

If Randy Rhodes had lived longer he would have done many more incredible things in music.

Les Paul, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, B.B. King, Joe Satriani, Nils Lofgren, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Johnson, Jeff Beck and Carlos Santana. I completely agree with your additions, but I just have to ask -
Where the hell is Robin Trower?

Sure. I’ll disagree.
I don’t think Page has much talent.
Substitute Mississippi John Hurt, Johnny Winter, or Bill Nelson.
Add Phil Keaggy.
Which dumpster? And who are ya callin’ a P*ssy, Sister? ;-)
FReep on!

Chet Atkins is there and he would put Hank Garland at the top of his list.

Jimi Hendrix - I could name 20 guitarists right now that we’re better by far than him - start with Ed Van Halen and end with Johnny Winter You need to listen to more Hendrix. I mean, down deep in the tracks. Eddie Van Halen would take issue with what you just said. He knows better.

SRV is okay. His brother Jimmy is by far a better guitarist.
Add Darrell Higham and RL Burnside.

Tony Rice has been the most influential in the bluegrass field but he would give the credit to Clarence White for his style.

George Benson “borrowed” much of his style from the GREAT Wes Mongomery who borrowed a similar style from Charlie Christian.
