How is Bo Diddley not rock?

And no I dont consider BB King a rock guitatist, just pure blues. Granted there are a handful of blues guitarists on this list like Johnny Winter but thats because they do have rock material and their sound is more blues rock than pure blues.

In the same sense I added Allan Holdsworth and John Maclaughlin, who are probably more thought of as Jazz guitarists but they have a handful of rock material and an overall rock oriented sound, and no Pat Matheny wasn't an oversight, just in case that comes up.
