my opinion is Eric Clapton- he's go the songwriting and chops. Hendrix is amazing, but for everyday listening is just to much for me.
Duane Allman takes top american- a virtuoso who played with heart as opposed to Malmsteen Vai, etc
and please, I'm not some guy who admires technical playing- I'm a three chord kind of guy generally. These guys are the best, no matter when they came out
Although I respect each and every one of those you listed. There are unemployed studio musicians that are every bit as good.
It's a bullshit question to begin with.

great, important music is, to me, impossible to define, but like Justice Potter Stewart famously said about pornagraphy-" I know it when I see it"
In 50 years, Pearl Jam will still be talked about and listened to while Creed will be an obscure trivia question. Think Gerry and the Pacemakers and the Beatles, or the Who and the Guess Who
I LOVE this guys sound- so soulful, you hear every gram of dope he shot in his playing

I think you are the one that is crazy. The question is about one's ability when it comes to playing the guitar. If it's so superior then it's not easily copied. Writing is an entire different thing.
Where we differ is you think the music is notes on a page.

1992–1997: Drug addiction
Frusciante developed serious drug habits while touring with the band during the previous four years. He said that when he "found out that Flea was stoned out of his mind at every show, that inspired me to be a pothead".[24] Not only was Frusciante smoking large amounts of marijuana, but he began to use heroin and was on the verge of full-scale addiction. Upon returning to California in the summer of 1992, Frusciante entered a deep depression, feeling that his life was over and that he could no longer write music or play guitar.[21] For a long time, he focused on painting, producing 4-track recordings he had made while recording Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and writing short stories and screenplays that dealt with a variety of motifs. To cope with his worsening depression, Frusciante increased his heroin use and spiraled into a life-threatening dependency.[25] His use of heroin to medicate his depression was a clear decision: "I was very sad, and I was always happy when I was on drugs; therefore, I should be on drugs all the time. I was never guilty—I was always really proud to be an addict."[26] Although he openly admitted to being a "junkie", his thinking had been fundamentally warped by the excessive drug use, believing drugs were the only way of "making sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul."[27]
Jimi Hendrix.
Eric Clapton.
SRV.
Maybe not in the same league as those other guys, but I like Carlos Santana, too.
Overall, though, I think Jeff Beck. His pure instrumental stuff is terrific.
