Just reviewed the list a little more.

My compliments for including Malcolm Young in with Angus Young.
Without Mal, AC/DC is just another run'o'the'mill rock band.

BooBoo, I know you've heard The Fall of Troy..and somehow you've left Thomas out. And what about Nick Reinhart of Tera Melos.

It's a good thing then that I said "and to a lesser extent, technical skill".

I would be interested to hear what someone who can evaluate 200 plus guitar players has to say about personal favs.
My top 3 would be Page, Gilmour and Howe.

Going by the criteria, though, Hendrix does win without a doubt. He scores more in creativity, originality, influence, status, impact than anyone else. Others do come very close but Hendrix always has the edge.

Be careful when trying to make absolutes out of subjective interpretations. I happen to agree with your stance, but don't be shocked when someone else doesn't.

I'm not shocked. I'm saying why Hendrix wins by the criteria.
